Fall into Winter

I don't know when the fall leaves have been so vivid and beautiful in these parts. I guess the extreme dry year has had one good outcome. Everywhere you look up and down the streets, the trees are gorgeous shades of yellow, orange, and red.  Even though, it is officially winter now and almost Christmas, and some leaves have fallen, it is still amazingly beautiful, as you drive up and down the streets.

I always enjoy the flowers in Silsbee, almost all year round, but have enjoyed the fall foliage so much this year. Silsbee is really a pretty town. 

Just wanted to share a bit of the beauty with you. 

Spring in Our Town

Silsbee is so beautiful in the spring. Everywhere you turn there are gorgeous azaleas in all shades of pink,red, white. The dogwoods are in full bloom and there are patches of bluebonnets here and there. We also see brides wreath and purple and white wisteria along with an occasional grancy graybeard. We have been noting patches of dewberry blossoms, so we can come back to pick the berries later in the spring.

Imagine your playground in a field of bluebonnets. That's what we found at one garage sale this morning.

The red clover by Dr. Tennyson's office has been beautiful this year. There are lots of paintbrushes and verbenas along the highway and evening primroses in the ditches. Even the "weeds" by the backdoorstep are pretty flowers right now.

Here are some of our floral "treasures" for you to enjoy!
