I have been loving the weather lately! THIS is when the drier climate has its perks - 85 degrees feels lovely with the springtime breeze and very little humidity. Sadly, when it creeps up to 105 in the summer months, no amount of dryness can fend off the heat. I never thought I would experience hotter summers than what we get in the swamp, but I was oh so wrong. Oh Texas heat, you are unrelenting.
But summer is not upon us YET! And the Texas bluebonnets have been in full bloom everywhere! I think the drought was so bad last year that they never made an appearance, but we've had way more rain this year (when I say 'way more' I mean from nothing to some...progress!). The bluebonnets are a beautiful sight to see as you drive along the highway or pass by a field. They are most striking I think because they grow in such great quantities in that lovely purple-blue shade. I know I'm not the only admirer because I've seen quite a few people taking photos of and among them with their families. So needless to say Polly B and I had a little photo shoot of our own one afternoon...there's a large patch of the darlings in a park right by our house. Take a look!
