Ah, yes . . . it must be spring!
The bluebonnets in my front flowerbed are up with a vengence this year . . . perky, full, reaching toward the sun, and the most beautiful steel blue color . . .
Our nearby local park . . . you turn a corner on the walking path, and "bam" . . . the bluebonnets just surprise you . . . they are popping up everywhere.
And, we are seeing them on the sides of the highway throughout the DFW area. This time of year, it is often a wise idea to drive on the service roads, so you can see the flowers better . . . and not cause an accident on the highway because you are driving too slow!!!
Where is my camera??
To a Texan . . . bluebonnets mean spring is here. I am a happy Texan!
Ever forward . . . ><>

I will be waiting for a bluebonnet picture.
Love those bluebonnets! My mailbox clematis is about to burst into bloom and I planted flowers today. I also plan to put in some basil and tomatoes, but I'm afraid we'll get some more frost or snow the way this season's been going.
Another sign of spring: a mourning dove is nesting in one of my empty hanging pots on the front porch. Wonder if it's the baby dove I blogged about last year?
