Everyone knows that all things are bigger and better in Texas. And that Texans are right proud of our state.
But, sometimes it's just true. For instance...
I dare you to show me a prettier spring!

just you wait... I had to resort to cattle to find evidence of spring's arrival here, but pretty soon you'll see that spring hits here big... about one week before summer hits. Hardy har har. (sigh)
I hear we get snow tomorrow... yip-freakin-yippee-yi-yay.
ps.-we're all still dying to know what happened at your place on April Fools Day!!
*GASP*
are those wild lupins?? Gorgeous!!
You win.
Chris: Well, after the build-up, April Fool's day was a bit of a letdown. Perhaps I'll include details of the day in an bulleted-type update post tomorrow.
Berry Girl: I've lived here six years now and I still have my breath taken away by our spring flowers. The blue/purple flowers are bluebonnets - our state flower. I'll see if I can get my hands on some seeds and send up your way for my Canadian blogger friends to try. The orange flowers are indian paintbrushes.
It is very pretty. I'm going miss lots about Texas. I'm sorry we were not able to get together while I was here.
oh man, if you can get some seeds here, I will plant! Really stunning. Flower gardening is one of my favourite things - except I never seem to get it quite right...I'm always moving stuff around year to year.
speechless! well, not quite. Let's just say... spectacular, in the true sense of the word.
Did you take those photos?!? So beautiful! Since our trip to Houston, we haven't seen many bluebonnets. I definitely haven't found a field full like I'd like to! We headed up to Salado last weekend, but no significant bluebonnet sightings. They are so pretty though, I'll be sad when they disappear from the side of the road!
So, we have 4-6 tulips peaking up now. I want to know where the other 94 are! Tons of ranunculus are growing though! How are your bulbs doing?
P.S. We have an air date for our TLC show! Details on my blog!
These photos are beautiful! Love the blue bonnets!
Patricia
That is SO pretty.
I hope that you are doing well! I need to send you an email and get caught up. We are all doing fine and I hope that y'all are too.
Love ya Dawn!
I would love to know it that picture is of "this Spring" cause I have seen very little of the bluebonnets this year. What with no real rain till yesterday. I do love driving along the Texas roads and seeing all the wildflowers each spring..
