Re: Texas bluebonnets

Wow - very cool aunt! 84? It wasn't that warm here?? Stttrrraaange
weather this year. Mmmm mmm mmm. Yes, they are a sight to see - whole
roadsides and fields covered w/ them. Hope they kick in by weekend after
next so Jesse and the girls get to see the show when they come down for
Ya-Ya weekend. I have to be very careful driving home from work or I
spend to much time looking at them and not the road!! :-)
