Spring time! It has been a beautiful day here in Texas. The Monarch butterflies have been back for over a week now. I've even seen a June bug. The wildflowers haven't blossomed yet but it shouldn't be too long. Then it will look like lakes of Bluebonnets. One of the best things Lady Bird Johnson did for Texas and the country was the Highway Beautification Act sowing wild flowers in the medians and sides of the Interstates and removing the clutter of billboards. See the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center website for a peak at Texas spring time: https://www.wildflower.org/magazine Enjoy!
Lived in Ft. Worth for 15yrs, and as a Virginian could never have imagined how beautiful bluebonnets are. Good work by the Texas DOT in planting them all along the highways and interstates - truly a blessing!
