Hi Pam,
Your talk of bluebonnets takes me back.  My Aunt Mab Perryman was an artist
of some (not a lot) note, and one of her favorites is bluebonnets.
While I'm typing this I have about 8 paintings of her's that have
bluebonnets.  I saw them once when I was just a little boy, and was
impressed even then.  They are just lovely.
Rich in Z-5 where it was 84 yesterday and 74 today, and rainshowers forcast
for tonight
