Springtime in Texas
A picture or two from warm and sunny Texas:
I have never been here in April to see the fields and fields of
bluebonnets, so I was so pleased to arrive just before they all
faded.
A picture of The Twins (my mother and her sister Wilda, for whom I was
named), standing in a field of bluebonnets just before the entrance to
my parents' new community west of Weatherford, Texas:
A closeup of a bluebonnet (beginning to fade, but I still caught it):
The parents' new home is beginning to grow a lawn, and the live oaks
are flourishing. Here, a picture out the living room windows to
the oaks beyond:
…and a last picture of the rather special geometry of Dad's very
experimental and successful house:
Tomorrow, Dad and I begin to plant Mother's Mother's-Day present:
a full-fledged herb garden. We are planting many Santolinas in the
hopes of keeping the giant Texan grasshoppers from feasting on the crop.
