Thanks for taking the time to learn their names. I don't always have the time to research and I appreciate that you make the time. In total agreement, our ground is extremely dry already and I'm so hopeful for more rain.

Not nearly enough. <br />After all the earlier rain, the green growth around here is drooping....needing more.<br />I hope we're not headed for a repeat of last summer.<br /><br />I think I've seen that groundcover around here somewhere, too. Need to take a walk and look again.

Yikes! All of the rain in the fall and winter made me get my hopes up. We're already back to Stage 1 water conservation in San Antonio.

I'm hoping someone can identify it for us. It returns every year, spreading slowly, even after severe droughts. Rain, please!sandy lawrencenoreply@blogger.com
