Wildflowers






I love to see wildflowers grow
Along a country road.
Without fanfare they strive to bloom,
Though humble their abode.
Blue asters and wild daisies,
Goldenrod and Queen Anne's lace -
Flowers grown in country style
With quaint old-fashioned grace.

They ask no special favors -
This hardy little band
Will grow and quickly multiply,
Spread cheer where'er they can.

To a weary traveler's heart,
None could ever be so grand
As wildflowers blooming by the road,
Planted by God's own hand.
Kay Hoffman



Joy is very infectious; 
therefore, be always full of joy.

Our Bluebonnet Run

This has been an amazing year for wildflowers in Texas!  I wasn't sure what to expect with the drought last year but we have had plenty of rain for several months now and we are so thankful for that!!

These pictures were taken between Conroe and Navaota on Highway 105 north of Houston. 








The smell here was so sweet!!


Sadie loves the bluebonnets too :)
