Bluebonnet watch...

They're baaaaaaaccccck...... the bluebonnets are starting to pop up here and there, a bit earlier than usual, but with the weather we've had these past couple of months, it's so nice to see those blue and white wildflowers along the sides of the highway and right here in our own pastures.

There's a large patch of them at one of the corners of our property..... that particular corner always seems to have a plush covering of bluebonnets, and this year they all bloomed early. I'm guessing they just keep re-seeding themselves so with each year, that corner will have more and more.

When I look at the pastures from the second floor windows, I can see patches of both bluebonnets and red paintbrushes, with a bit of yellow wildflowers tossed in at certain places.  Everyone is hoping for a wildly successful bluebonnet season..... last year's display was a bit disappointing.  Usually, the properties here have an endless ocean of bluebonnets..... last year, we all had small puddles of bluebonnets.  But Nature is going to do what it's going to do, so we just have to take what we get.
