What I found about the Bluebonnet is that they grow about 1 to 2 feet tall and are not found naturally anywhere else but in Texas. There are some new colors, red (more of a pinkish) and white now but I haven't seen them yet.

Brain - we will definitely have to work on those high ceilings for Gazelle. I'm thinking no on a Zinc roof, just got some info that those are noisy.

I can't wait for spring to come! Maybe we all need to start posting pictures of flowers and blooming trees and shrubs!

BTW, the rabbits have gone hogwild with my little lilac bush in the backyard. Every time it snows, you can see their fresh trail out there and a well-trodden path surrounding the shrinking shrub. I doubt I'll ever get blooms again if we don't do something about our evergrowing rabbit population out in the yard.

I'm thinking about having the deck removed and replacing with a brick patio since they live underneath. Also, I'm going to trim the bottom branches of all the evergreens they use for shelter. I think this might have some effect on their growth. The blasted wabbits!

Our surrounding neighbors all have dogs, so that might limit their nesting abilities somewhat.
