Frost coming tonight


Talking around 43 here in the morning. Bluebonnets are looking good up around Brenham though.


The Bluebonnets, Indian Paint Brushes and Lavender are in Full Bloom all over Montgomery County and we're Lovin it.
Every year we make the ?Pilgrimage? to Baylor Park to view and photograph the Wild Flowers but we haven't made it yet ??????

YEs Mam, as G'Rail said, the Hill COuntry is well known for it's Wildflower Beauty.
When we lived out there in Nix, we had very large and beautiful BLuebonnets between our front fence and the Road.
I put up a small wire fence so that the Hwy Department couldn't mow them and I took care of them myself.
They got Prettier every year and very tall also !

I love this time of year. Went up to the lake house last week for a few days. Our states beauty is about to enter full springtime regalia.

yes indeed, Brother G'Rail - - - - I really like it when our Purple sage in front blooms but it's too early for that blessing, however, the Red-Tip Fatima is certainly nice !

back in 2007 Sherry and I decided to run up to Arkansas to see some of her Family and we went thru some Piney Woods area the had Wisteria hanging from many of those tall pine trees for several miles but I can't remember where it was?????????????? :dont:
