Late Breaking News

This just in: The extreme Texas heat resulting in seemingly endless days of 100 degree plus temperatures has resulted in what can only be described as a freak of nature.


A once vigorous though non-producing Peach tree has apparently sprouted a crop of hand dyed and patterned pillow covers.


Stat tuned for further details as they become available.

    Wow, would you mind sending me some seeds from that tree! I'd be oh so happy to plant one in my yard. : )

    Beautiful and colorful....just like summer.

    North Texas is catching up with Austin in the triple digit department, so I know how you feel! I admire your productivity and creativity. I have been dragging lately.

    So beautiful. Even better than peaches (which I also adore).

    What kind of fertilizer do you use? I never get anything so beautiful from my peach trees, not that a sweet juicy peach isn't beautiful.
