Flowering Friday – Purple Sage

May 25, 2012 Austin

What I know about purple (Silverado) sage: It’s native to this area and very drought-tolerant. When other plants withered last summer, our two sages soldiered on. Deer don’t eat it. Yes!

The New Autumn

November 14, 2010 Austin

When we moved to Central Texas, I knew we were giving up the purest experience of the four seasons — intense, icy snowstorms giving way to daffodils, tulips and forsythia, followed by steamy days with leafy green trees lazily swaying overhead. And the fall. It’s easily my favorite of the seasons, and not just because [...]
