"The sage in bloom, is like perfume . . .

. . . deep in the heart of Texas."

I'm not sure if this is the plant the song is referring to, but it is a Texas sage and today it is blooming. I have heard it will bloom before a rainfall, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.

This picture of my handsome husband was taken on Easter of 2007. Look closely by the garage and you can see how small the sage was.

This picture was taken today. As you can see, the Plantzilla is threatening to take over our home.
