We both drove this route from home to Scarborough’s faire site yesterday, and neither of us ever saw any blooming bluebonnets. But. today, as I drove down around noon for the Costume Parade event, (which was too much fun, by the way!) there they were! Bluebonnets! Beautiful, blooming bluebonnets!
I love bluebonnets! When I first moved to Texas, of course, I’d never even heard of bluebonnets. We don’t have bluebonnets in New York. That first Texas spring was absolutely magical for me. I thought they were about the prettiest things I’d ever seen. Years later, when I was married to Roger, he and I went out and took a bunch of photos in the bluebonnets one spring. To this day, when I see a field of bluebonnets, I picture myself, twenty-something, in that little white short-sleeved, shirtwaist dress, kneeling in the bluebonnets. I think they are an amazing gift. They’re here for us, again! Go out and find some. Take some photos. And enjoy!
