IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Boerne. How about all that rain? We got some great video of the rising creek as well as rain at the lake you won’t want to miss. Okay, let’s talk about today.

Here’s what’s inside:

  • Earth Day fun in town

  • A new UPS Store coming to Lemon Creek

  • A cannon firing happening downtown this afternoon

  • The Boerne Senior Expo is coming May 5th

And a whole lot more. Let’s get into it!

Want more hummingbirds showing up daily? It starts with the right setup. Native, nectar-rich plants like Bee Balm, Cardinal Flower, Coral Honeysuckle, Salvia, and Columbine naturally attract them and keep them coming back. Pair that with a quality feeder, and now your yard becomes their go-to stop.

Not sure what to plant or where to start? Getting it right makes all the difference, and a few small changes can bring way more activity to your space than you’d expect.

A new UPS Store is officially on the way to Lemon Creek Ranch, bringing more convenience to the area near Fair Oaks HEB. Local owner Afarin Edwards, who has been running the Leon Springs location for the past decade, is expanding her presence and continuing to grow within the Boerne community.

This new location is expected to open by the end of 2026 and will offer expanded services like shipping and printing for nearby residents. It’s a solid step forward for the area and a sign of continued growth happening right around Boerne.

Wish you had space for a pool? You might not need one. Master Spas Factory Store Boerne has everything from hot tubs and saunas to powerful swim spas, including the Michael Phelps Signature line. Built in the USA and designed for both relaxation and fitness, these setups turn any backyard into your personal escape.

Even better, you can actually try them before you buy with a wet test, so you know exactly what you’re getting. And if you mention The Boerne Life, you’ll score $500 off a hot tub or $1000 off a swim spa.

THE BOERNE BUZZ

ROAD IMPROVEMENTS ACROSS BOERNE THIS SUMMER 🚧

Road improvements are rolling out across Boerne starting this spring and continuing into summer, with projects like chip-sealing, crack repairs, and patching planned throughout the city. The goal is to extend road life and improve driving conditions without full closures, though you might hit short delays. It’s all about smoother roads ahead, just with a little patience required for now. Get the full details

FIND THE PERFECT MOTHER’S DAY GIFT AT BECHANTS* ❤️

Haven’t figured out what to get Mom yet? Bechants might just save you. Their second floor is packed with handbags, jewelry, and luxury fragrances from high-end designers, making it an easy win for something that feels thoughtful and elevated. Bonus: it’s not just shopping, it’s an experience, especially with unique finds (and even an old bank vault downstairs). Take a look here

TUESDAY LUNCH CHILI SPECIAL AT CYPRESS GRILLE 🌶️

If lunch plans are still up in the air, Cypress Grille is making the decision easy with a special Tuesday feature. They’re serving up buffalo chili with jalapeño cornbread, which honestly sounds like the kind of meal you don’t skip. Same great food, just a new entrance, so don’t get confused when you arrive.

PSA: LIVE CANNON WILL BE FIRED IN DOWNTOWN BOERNE

Yes, it’s real. A cannon will be fired in downtown Boerne as part of a San Jacinto Day event happening right after the noon siren at the Kendall County Courthouse Complex. The event includes a plaque dedication honoring William B. Travis’ historic “Victory or Death” letter, with descendants of the Alamo expected to be there.

It’s not every day you get to witness a moment of Texas history like this, especially one that comes with a literal boom. If you’re nearby, it’s worth stopping by and experiencing it in person.

WHAT IF YOU COULD SAVE ALL THAT RAIN WATER?

Our partners at Aqua-man Water Conditioning specialize in designing and installing custom rainwater systems that fit the needs of your home or business. These systems capture and store hundreds of gallons every time it rains, giving you an extra source of clean water you can use for landscaping, household needs, or even as a full supply system with proper treatment.

Rainwater harvesting puts you in control. One inch of rainfall on a 1,000-square-foot roof produces around 500 gallons of water. Imagine capturing that instead of letting it run off. By supplementing your usage, you can save money on your water bill and save water in the Hill Country.

Give them a call at (830) 816-2290 or visit them at 32545 I-10 West.
