WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?
Lucy to Charlie Brown: "I know how you feel about this Christmas business, getting depressed and all that. It happens to me every year. I never get what I really want."
Charlie Brown back to Lucy: "What is it you want?"
Lucy: "Real estate."
HOW'S THE MARKET?

Overall, home sales decreased over 5.9% year-over-year. Investors aren't buying like they did previously. There is this stuck-in-the-mud feeling. The average price of homes fell like … (27 comments)

flower mound: Flower Mound's Sunday Night Afterglow
- 09/25/23 04:36 AM
When the sun sets in Flower Mound, there's an afterglow effect that paints the Town softly. This photo was taken Sunday evening around 8:00 p.m. I was facing Timber Creek Elementary School and just pulled over to enjoy the peaceful view.
Tiger Field in Flower Mound where the children play baseball was quite peaceful in the afterglow. I'm sure the children were beginning to settle in for the night. The street's nightlight left a nice glow while the white puffy cloud passed by slowly.
I liked how this light post cast a golden arch across Timber Creek Road while in the distance the … (20 comments)

flower mound: Saturday in the Park
- 07/29/23 07:51 PM
There is no better way to spend the last Saturday in July than spending a Saturday in the Park. Saturday is for celebrating sunsets. Rockledge Park bordering Flower Mound and Grapevine, Texas was the perfect way to spend the day. As the sun dipped before going out of sight the year 1972 came to mind reminding me of the Group Chicago singing the song Saturday in the Park.
When I arrived, the sky was blue, and the sun was hot and bright. As it got closer to sunset, I just knew there was going to be a spectacular sunset. Isn't there something … (19 comments)

flower mound: Ponds & Water Lilies
- 07/09/23 03:01 PM
To photograph ponds and water lilies, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical gardens can't be beat. The purple, pink, and yellow water lilies are all located at the Arboretum. I like my photos of the purple and big pink water lilies the best. What's your favorite?
For local pleasure as seen in the bottom two photos below, pond life is always active. The one with all the lily pads is located in Heritage Park. At Duck Pond in Flower Mound, I don't think a day goes by when you don't see the ducks. At Heritage Park this morning the yellow lilies are just … (21 comments)

Flowers have continued to bloom in my garden and the butterflies are enjoying their gift of nectar. The pink exotic lilies have returned but the other three lilies are new this year.
Working in my garden is cathartic. I think of myself as a co-creature and I give thanks for what I sow and reap with my two hands.
My red roses keep getting better and better each year. I am always surprised whether it is a single rose or a bunch! I love them all!
Whether the weather is hot and sunny, or cloudy and rainy, my flowers continue to thrive and never … (17 comments)

- 04/07/23 10:18 PM
CHEERY SURPRISES!
Springtime in Flower Mound, Texas is always full of cheery surprises. These eye-candy, show stopping wildflowers are blooming along Rocky Point Road. I just had to stop the car to take pictures of the Crimson Clovers or Italian Clovers, also known as Trifolium Incarnatum!
CLOVERS, BEES & LADYBUGS
Crimson Clovers are beneficial for bees because of the abundance of nectar. Plus, they are great for weed control! Ladybugs love them. Also, they add to the soil organic N pool by scavenging mineralized N, and prevent erosion.
