April 14, 2013. Canyon Lake, Texas. Interstate 10.

It was a big surprise.   We had thought that the bluebonnets would be over.  The drive from the ranch to San Antonio  today was delightful, all because of the wild flowers.   The bluebonnets were everywhere, on the median strip and on both sides or the road.   In addition, we saw yellow daisies and purple what ever they were, all mixed in together.   Interstate 10 is a favorite of mine for several reasons, not the least being the lack of traffic.  Once you leave Boerne, you leave traffic and you drive through the Hill Country which is full of rocks.  You have to like brown.  It is a lovely drive at any time, but today was extra special.

Suzanne is recovering from her knee surgery.  For the first time since the operation Friday, she showered and spent the afternoon on the couch with all of us.   We turned on the golf tournament so she would be sure to fall asleep, and she did.   She returns to the doctor on Monday morning and she hopes she can begin to put some weight on the leg.  These navigating with crutches gives you great appreciation for the handicapped.  Her friends are taking turns bring dinner each night which is appreciated by the whole family.  What would we do without our friends?
