What an amazing Spring we’ve had in Central Texas and the wildflowers have been incredibly abundant! To celebrate the explosion of native flowers in our Austin area homestead, I’m happy to release this high definition video of Central Texas wildflowers on Earth Day 2010!

Once the video starts playing, be sure to switch the video over to 720p HD to see the flowers at their fullest! Change the settings from 360p to 720p and click the “X” arrows to view fullscreen.

Life around the hot shop has been a little drippy sneezy lately. The Live Oak seem to be having a good time of it this spring. Good thing we are loaded up on our Zyrtec!

Carrie and I have been testing new hummingbird feeder ideas, but we hadn’t tried the most obvious until today. Take a blown glass globe ornament (easier to come by now around here), drill a hole in the bottom, and insert rubber stopper tip. Within a minute after hanging this little guy came by.
