Lupinus texensis, or the Texas Bluebonnet, is our national flower (Yes, we are a nation unto our self. Ask anyone, they'll tell ya). We all love the spring, sadly short it may well be, because we have all these wonderful colors to look forward to. And, as well all know, those of us who live in Texas, the spring doesn't just bring out the Bluebonnets. You also see fields of red poppies, Indian Paintbrush, and pink or yellow buttercups.
And yes, inevitably, unavoidably...
Big, fat-assed women, draggin' their kids into the fields to tromp all over the flowers and get that special picture to send to all their fat-assed, mouth breather relatives. Ahhhhh, springtime!
"Damn it, smile! I needs to go to KFC." I hope she don't fall on the kid. I'm just sayin'... Cheers.

Female Offspring #1 just returned home from traveling across the country and she came through your neck of the woods. She sent me a picture of the Panhandle and i'm like "WHOA! What's with all the FLAT they have going on in Texas?!" Don't look now but someone stole your purple mountains majesty....
Lots of people drive through Texas on I-40 and come away thinking that the panhandle is all there is. Check this out. http://jefflynchdev.wordpress.com/tag/hill-country-state-natural-area/
The look on that kid's face says, "I'm about to be abandoned, again." I love those flowers - I've always admired Mrs. Johnson for her interest in Texas wildflowers.
