It’s planting season for many and verbenas are high on the list. We had just fallen in love with Superbena Imperial Blue verbena and piled on a bunch of awards then, stop the presses! It has a new name which is now Superbena Cobalt. Not sure if this would be similar to Shakespeare’s ‘What’s in a name?’ scenario but one thing is for certain, it is even better than ‘The Garden Guy’ thought.
This year a cold spell of a few nights had ‘The Garden Guy’ moving containers to the garage for a series of nights in the mid-teens. It was about five nights straight, when they were afforded protection. Several of these containers had Superbena Cobalt verbena. There were three other containers of verbenas on the hillside that I did not move. All of them are now in a stage of riotous bloom.

This month western meets safari with this fun army green jumpsuit. I love a good jumpsuit that is simple but stylish and can be accessorized in so many ways. This one especially caught my eye because of the western yoke detail. See this and more at www.jessesjewelz.com

University of North Texas music students were in awe by Texas Music icon, Lyle Lovett recently during his visit to the Denton campus to share his music and personal secrets on navigating a successful music career.
The four-time Grammy winner has recorded 14 albums and has released 25 singles throughout his illustrious career. He’s also most famous for creating his Large Band consisting of his talented rhythm section and a full horn section.
I too have had the honor of recording with Lyle during my time with Asleep At The Wheel and being a UNT grad, I was pleasantly surprised by this act of good will toward these young musicians.
