Inspired by . . . red, white and bluebonnets
As I write this, the heavens are rumbling, the sky is flashing and the clouds are sending down their sweet nectar to water our earth. Processing these images to share with you has been a ray of sunshine in an otherwise dreary day.
The sweetest man in the world and I took a quick trip over to Brady, Texas last week and what an adventure it was! My senses are still reeling from the experience. I’m thinking about getting a sign for the back of our truck that reads, “I break for EVERYTHING!”
Seriously, I was like a kid in the candy store, times ten! Texas is really putting on a show this year! {and yes, I am that person laying on her belly in a field of wildflowers!}
All that rain we had {and complained about} this winter - well, we are reaping the blessing, friends!
Bluebonnets
Texas Paintbrush
I wrote about bluebonnets here last year, and if you’re interested in learning about the different varieties of the Texas state flower you can find the post and my pictures here.
This photo isn’t great. The fires burning in Mexico were really affecting our air quality that day. But I wanted to show you what our roadsides look like right now. It’s just a carpet of color.
Breathtaking.
There is a lesson for me here, in the abundance of the wildflowers.
A promise fulfilled.
A blessing given.

Thank you to Wildseed Farms for the beauty you harvest and propagate!
You can read about the maroon bluebonnets here and here.

but they give peace,
like those meadow flowers which
individually seem odorless
but all together perfume the air."
