Beautiful, balmy and sunny in central NE Texas. 

And, green!  I've seldom seen it so green.  It almost glows.

I'm in New Hampshire. The trees are still bare. Remind me again what green looks like...

We're on the waning end of the wildflower season, but Texas looks kinda like this right now:

Well, the corn is about 3' high, the wheat fields are already turning yellow, and we've had one very good hay cutting so far. 

I love NH, but not the 18 months of winter every year.

Once on a summer trip to Canada, a lifeguard said they had just 3 seasons; July, August and Winter

In central Texas the bluebonnets are well past their prime, and have mostly been replaced with large swaths of yellow and orange flowers. Sorry I'm not a wildflower expert, so I have no idea what their names are.  ^-^

I grew up in Northern Michigan (the Upper Peninsula). In my childhood the four seasons were: Spring (6 weeks, mid-April to end of May), Summer (3 months, June-August), Fall (6 weeks, September to mid-October) and Winter (mid-October to mid-April). It usually snowed before Halloween, and it was not uncommon to get snow well into May.

I don't really miss the cold weather.

I would guess that both flowers are different varieties of coreopsis.

My nephew and his wife lived in NH in the early 2000’s, between Concord, Manchester and Portsmouth.  I took a long weekend in late May of 2004 and flew up to visit them. The area, the countryside especially was beautiful and I really loved Portsmouth. We walked all around the town square and had lunch and then went to the Strawbery Banke Museum. I thought, “gee I could see me living here”. But then I learned about the winters. I can’t even deal with the winters in Maryland and Southern PA.  **nononono* ^-^

For the record, it's not my pic.

You may already know this having taken lots of pics, but the secret is the cloud cover.  Direct sunlight creates a sheen on leaves and flower petals that washes out the color.  Bright overcast (not too thick cloud cover) is a natural diffuser, so the light comes from all directions, and makes the best nature images.

I was thinking it was a screen shot, but I guess it's a live image when refreshed.  Anyway....went to buy a new rain gauge today, since the hail pretty well took out mine....none to be had.  I guess everyone is enjoying measuring the rain, for a change...lol.  Beats knocking the dust out of the thing.

Regards.....

Anybody checked to see if hell has frozen over?  It's 71 degrees here at almost noon in mid May.  Weird.

Had two days of overcast mornings with beneficial rain. Sun came out yesterday afternoon and it's trying to do the same today in Medina.

Just had some heavy rain, thunder and lightning over Medina. This is nothing compared to the big cell north of us heading for Fredericksburg. Lost satellite due to heavy rain but TV is back now.
