On Good Friday we went for a long drive (4 hrs) to look at Texas wildflowers. In Burnet we found the largest bluebonnet we've ever seen.
Overall the drive was something of a disappointment. We saw a lot of flowers on the side of the road around Llano and between Llano and Burnet, but there were not as many as we expected, and the second half of the drive was pretty much barren.
When we got home, Rosebud wanted to go to a park, so she and I went to Brushy Creek Park and discovered the field of bluebonnets that we had looked for everywhere else that morning. It was beautiful, and you could smell the bluebonnets. Next year we will just visit the park and save ourselves the drive!
Here is Rosebud on top of the dam in the park. The flowers are in the meadow on the shore of the lake in the distance. She and I walked across the dam to check on another wild patch on the other side and see if there were more wildflowers there. Alas, nothing.
Another cookout- the weather has been wonderfully mild for late April, and we have taken advantage of it. Mr. Brown got the grill rack out of the garage and we have made hamburgers as well as hot dogs. I love having fires in the back yard.
