Springtime in Washington is worth a trip all by itself. The only problem is that the blossoms may not arrive during your visit. The same can be said for Texas wildflowers. It is worth a trip to Texas just to see the wildflowers. Of course, every year the blossoms are at their peak at a different time each year, so planning a trip is difficult. And last year due to the drought, the wildflowers barely made an appearance at all.
This year, for the first time, Ken and I are in Texas at the exact time when the bluebonnets will be at their best. And the rains have fallen so there are lots and lots of wildflowers. Today we drove north from the ranch to Mason, then east to Llano, then back home along back roads all the way to the ranch. We saw more bluebonnets today than we have seen our whole lives. Had we continued further east to Burnett, we would have seen even more but enough is enough. Every here you looked you saw these blossoms.
For the next several weeks we will enjoy the constantly changing colors and types of the Texas wildflowers. They are truly worth the journey to the Hill Country of Texas, especially on a Sunday afternoon.
