MY FIRST RUBY TUESDAY

I've seen this on a number blogs, so thought I would join in. The leaves this year are DAZZLING here in Houston. Usually our Fall colors consist of  brown, dark brown, light brown, and ugly yellow. The dry, cooler weather is probably the reason. Happy Ruby Tuesday. To see the whole collection, visit Mary at http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/






   Pictured Above: 1 Chinese Tallowtree (too invasive, don't plant these in Texas) 2 Chinese Pistache (OK for Houston, can handle poor soils and drought) 3 Nuttall Oak ( native tree that can grow in heavy clay soils) 4 Redbud (native tree that's a fast, understory tree)
Tallow trees have one redeeming quality...fabulous red foliage!

  1. HE WAS NO VARLET

    There once was a guy who wore red,
    He wore it to work and to bed;
    His pj’s were scarlet,
    Though he was no varlet—
    He simply liked everything red.
