The anticipation is almost too much to bear, but it may not just be the height of the jump that causes your adrenaline to pump. It’s also the knowledge that the 68-degree water is waiting below to shock every sense in your body as the heat of a 100-degree day vanishes from your skin.

One of the easiest plants I have growing in my yard is Thryallis, (Galphimia glauca). Thryallis is a small shrub that grows 5 feet to 9 feet tall. It is a hardy, evergreen shrub that is excellent for its low maintenance and beautiful yellow flowers almost year round. Deer do not eat it. It grows in full sun or limited shade. Very drought resistant. Grows easily from seeds or cuttings. In fact, mine have spread too easily but I just let them keep growing. (I have many small plants if you would like to have one or more. Just call me and come by: 512-847-8774.)
