Spring in Texas is a beautiful time of the year.  Down in the San Antonio, TX area we usually have a mild Winter however, we're always more than ready for Winter to end and Spring to arrive.  As I drive the highways and byways of the Bexar, Kendall, Comal, and Guadalupe Counties showing homes to clients, I try to point out the different flowers that are blooming!  Especially the Blue Bonnets -- we know Spring has arrived when our beloved Blue Bonnets start peaking through the grasses along the highway medians and in the open fields.  They are followed by Indian Paintbrush, Indian Blanket, Lantana, Daisies, Verbena, Winecups and Thistles just to name a few.

I've been taking pictures of our beautiful April Wildflowers since the Texas Real Estate Group announced their April Wildflower Contest.  The show below includes pictures of flowers from Fredericksburg to San Antonio to Lockhart.  I couldn't resist including some of all of the areas.

God Bless Texas!

Hi Carl, thanks for stopping by to see my pretty Wildflowers.  I've had the Real Estate Show subscription since last year -- just haven't used it for a post until now.  It was the perfect way to share the pictures of the flowers.

04/30/2008 07:19 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Sally, Hi, hope you're feeling better.  Thanks for stopping by.  I had this pictured in my mind all weekend as I was taking the pictures and couldn't wait to put it together.  Glad you like it!   :)

04/30/2008 08:48 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Oh Judi, I loved it! I loved your music and the photos were so lovely. Isnt this stuff fun? Learning is the milestone we are all attempting to reach and you really outdid yourself. Great job! Later in the rain~Deb

Hey Deb, thanks.  Glad you like my slide show.  :)  I wouldn't have the Real Estate Show to do it if it weren't for Active Rain. 

04/30/2008 09:40 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)

Ceil

05/04/2008 07:59 PM by Carl & Ceil Winters (Complete Inspection Service, New Braunfels, Texas 78133)


Ceil, yes, I started taking pictures while Tom was here -- we took a day trip up to Fredericksburg and took pictures along the way.  Took the rest just outside of San Antonio on (IH-10 East) as we were driving to Lake Charles.  Glad you like the music...it is relaxing, isn't it?

05/04/2008 08:24 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Judi - Thanks for sharing the beautiful wilflowers of Texas.  I always loved springtime in Texas for just that reason.  They just pop up everywhere.

05/06/2008 04:35 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


I took a break as it is mid -afternnoon and watched your little video and it was so soothing I fell asleep at my desk and missed an appointment..... just kidding ...but it is nice.

05/07/2008 08:57 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Hey Judi - Stopped by to enjoy your pretty flowers. I didn't check my cell phone until awhile ago. I turned it off when we went for lunch Mother's Day and it was still in my purse turned off. I don't know why I even have that cell phone; I can't ever find it or it runs out of juice.

Don't forget Carl's blog-along tonite. I already left my refreshments. Well back to work, I'm putting all new screens in and what a job. I bought some solar screen; just finished our bedroom, washed all the curtains while I was at it. I need to go back to work to rest.

See ya later gal friend.

05/13/2008 05:43 PM by Carl & Ceil Winters (Complete Inspection Service, New Braunfels, Texas 78133)


JuJu, this is so pretty. Thank you again for putting this post together for all of us! I sat down with my grandkids and went through all the pics. They loved it. You take care...later in the rain~Deb

05/15/2008 11:08 PM by Deb at Brooks Prime Properties


Deb, glad you enjoyed it.  You sat down with your grandkids and went through all the pics???  Deb you don't look old enough to have grandkids!!!   :)

05/15/2008 11:27 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Judi, I like your video.  The music is so relaxing and you did a great job of showing off the beauty of some of the flowers that sometimes don't get appreciated as much as they should. 

05/17/2008 12:25 PM by Sondra Meyer (United Country Brazos Valley Realty)


Ok Ju Ju - Haven't seen you around this weekend. Knock, Knock, are you out taking more pictures of wildflowers or maybe chasing down the best BBQ joint in Texas? - Maybe you headed East on I-10? Your gal friend - Ceil

05/18/2008 08:52 PM by Carl & Ceil Winters (Complete Inspection Service, New Braunfels, Texas 78133)


Sondra, thanks for stopping by.  Glad you enjoyed the music and the flowers.  Stop by anytime for a relaxing break.  :)

05/18/2008 09:00 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Hey Ceil, nope, I haven't been around the community much this weekend.  Was busy -- not taking pictures or chasing barbeque.  I was working.  Visited a client who closed earlier in the week to check on them and drop off their closing gift.  No, I didn't make them a basket -- gave them a nice gift certificate to buy something special for their new house along with 2 cute outfits for their 5 month old daughter. 

Today, I was showing property to a client Don found for me.  Probably won't see me around much this week -- it's going to be busy.  Need to show a few more properties to today's client, have a final walk-thru, 2 closings, and then another client wants to look at properties next weekend.  

05/18/2008 09:07 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


You Go Girl - Get'em. We will miss you but "work comes first".

Maybe you can stop in tomorrow night for Carl's Blog-Along AR Block Party (he wants to add to the title). I told him I would remind everyone. I think he  is just going to have fruit and  summer type desserts. He has been worried since Liz sent him that picture that everyone may get too fat (ha, ha).

Take care and go to bed early; leave the blogging for another day. - Ceil

05/18/2008 09:53 PM by Carl & Ceil Winters (Complete Inspection Service, New Braunfels, Texas 78133)


Hey Ms. Judi - Hope you had a super day. Here is your reminder; tonite is eat lite night.  Fruit Texas Style!

05/19/2008 05:59 PM by Carl & Ceil Winters (Complete Inspection Service, New Braunfels, Texas 78133)


Hey Ceil & Carl, I'm there with y'all -- watching the game and enjoying the lite desserts!!!  It was hot today, the lite, cool desserts are a refreshing treat!   :)

 

05/19/2008 07:50 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Hey Judi - Another Blog-Along tonite...Spurs vs Lakers....Game 1

Sandwich Night...we can always use an extra dessert or dip and chip. Dale has already stopped by with a "defeathered chicken" and some Root Beer. You can bring something stronger if you would like.

Here is the new blog....http://activerain.com/blogsview/519033/Carl-s-Blog-Along

I don't know if I can watch that Shaq and Kobe..I don't like either one of them.

This is Ceil...Carl just got in, running late tonite so I need to get his supper served up. Hope to see you later.

 

05/21/2008 06:32 PM by Carl & Ceil Winters (Complete Inspection Service, New Braunfels, Texas 78133)


Hi Ceil, I'm on my way. . . got fix myself a sandwich and get the snacks together.

05/21/2008 08:19 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Ms. Judi, were are you?  I'm beginning to get a little concerned, since I've not heard from you, and this was your last blog...is everything OK?  Call me, e-mail me, blog me, smoke signal me, let me know how you are?  Liz

06/03/2008 07:43 PM by Liz Carter,Broker/Owner of Liz Carter & Team Realty, Katy TX (Houston) (Liz Carter & Team Realty-Top Realtor in Katy & Houston Texas)


Liz, I've been busy closing on houses.  Had 3 of them, now, I'm finding houses for more clients to look at and hopefully buy.  I've been in and out commenting here on AR, but haven't had time to write anything.  I do have my Bar-Be-Que post drafted but that's as far as I've gotten with it.  Need to get to the bar-be-que place and get some good pictures.  Maybe this weekend we'll stop by for bar-be-que and I can take the pictures I need and finish it before the deadline. 

WooHooo...today is my birthday!!!!   So go out and celebrate it!!!

06/05/2008 09:13 AM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Did I hear someone say it Judi's Birthday?

 Just for you for your Birthday!

How about an M&M Teapot full of Best Wishes and hope your day is the best ever.  

Ceil and Carl

06/05/2008 05:13 PM by Carl & Ceil Winters (Complete Inspection Service, New Braunfels, Texas 78133)


Oh Carl & Ceil!!!  Thank you so much for the beautiful bouquet and I absolutely LOVE the M & M Teapot Cake!!!   It's sooo cute!!!   :)   Thank you for stopping by to wish me a Happy B'day!!!!   :)

06/05/2008 05:53 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


We'll have to do lunch again next time you come up to New Braunfels to show or list another house. Carl is writing one of his reports and said to tell you hello. Are you and Don doing anything special for your B-Day? You need to write a blog and tell us all about it.

How about this wind? I don't remember that it has ever blown this hard for this long. Now we need some rain. Maybe we need to do a rain dance. Take Care, Ceil

06/05/2008 07:36 PM by Carl & Ceil Winters (Complete Inspection Service, New Braunfels, Texas 78133)


Ceil, I'll drive up to New Braunfels to have lunch with you anytime -- I don't need to have an appointment up there.  I do still have my listing up there.  It's getting a good number of showings, now, if someone would buy it.  I'm sure my clients would like to be able to move to their new location.  :)  Such a cute house, just need the right buyer to see it.

We'll do something over the weekend.  I'm sure he has something special in mind.  I did receive a dozen roses,  beautiful b'day card and a b'day cake!!! 

I don't remember ever having wind like this either.   ???

Tell Carl Hi -- love the flowers and teapot cake...thank you again!   :)

06/05/2008 07:59 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)

Liz, I was so busy it kinda slipped up on me...one of my friends wished me an early happy b'day on Wed. at a meeting and I was startled that it was already the day before my b'day.  Of course, Don didn't forget.  :)

06/06/2008 04:40 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Judi,

First thing, when was the exact date?  Happy Birthday!!!!   If I calculate from the entry above, maybe June12th?  That is wonderful.

I love looking at the beautiful wildflowers.  I enjoyed this most of all while driving to College Station for 4 years while our daughter attended Texas A&M.  Yep, she's an Aggie.  Lots of money went to Texas. I feel I have a vested interest in your State.  Ha!  Hurry back.  MK and I will have to start planning again.

06/16/2008 11:02 PM by Derenda Grubb (CENTURY 21 Bessette Realty, Inc.)


Derenda, the exact date is June 5th.  Born at St Patrick's Hospital in Lake Charles, LA!!! 

That's another thing we have in common -- one of my daughter's is an Aggie too!  In fact, she met her husband at A & M. 

Yep, we're going back for a visit.  Start scheming planning!!!  Haven't set the exact date yet, but when we do, I'll email or call you so you and MK can start scheming planning.  :)

Judi . . . "dancing in the rain! . . .   :)

06/16/2008 11:43 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


They're beautimus =D. LOL.

When I was with Prudential, I attended a Pru real estate convention in San Antonio in 2006. I made a video about it if you want to see =)    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTc_ppFewYE

06/27/2008 01:01 AM by Lisa Hill (Daytona Beach Real Estate) (Adams Cameron and Company)


Lisa, I was at that convention too!  I used to be with a Prudential franchise here in San Antonio.  Too bad we didn't know each other back then, we would have had lots of fun.  I'm going to look at the video.   ;)

06/27/2008 05:00 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Lisa, just watched the video you took while in San Antonio -- love it!  :)

06/27/2008 05:39 PM by Judi Morgan, San Antonio, TX Real Estate (Coldwell Banker D'Ann Harper, Realtors)


Judi...

I'm getting excited about seeing you and everyone next week.  So far not have any of the really bad side effects from my treatment so feel good too.  Always a plus :).  Are there any plans for a group BD gift for JC?  Also I need some help, we are coming to Austin from the lake, so I need a place to leave Rhett...any ideas?  Is there an inexpensive place close by the event I can rent for the day that accepts pets?

Got my camera ready...see you in a few days :).  L

08/11/2008 01:30 AM by Liz Carter,Broker/Owner of Liz Carter & Team Realty, Katy TX (Houston) (Liz Carter & Team Realty-Top Realtor in Katy & Houston Texas)


Liz, I'm so glad you didn't have any of the really bad side affects from your treatment and that you're feeling so good!!!  :)   Please call me about Jason's B'day Party -- I need to talk to you about it and don't have your number at the Lake. 

I don't know Austin very well -- just don't get up that way very often.  So I don't know where to leave Rhett.   I don't know if County Line will allow him there either.  Jason was just there finalizing details, I wish I'd known you were looking for a place for Rhett -- I could have asked him to check with the Manager of the Restaurant. 

Looks like we're going to have around 60ish in attendance -- between AR Members, Agents from Jason's office and Jason & Pam's friends.  I'm looking forward to it too!!!   :)
