Words I wrote several months ago... "But as it always is, my favorite
part of any trip is taking the exit sign marked Waxahachie" ... and the
emotion lingers. |

Wildflowers make springtime special, and there's no place where Texas
bluebonnets thrive more than in Ellis County. This morning as I drove to a
nearby town, I passed along roadsides carpeted by close clusters of blue
petals as our state flower made its spectacular debut. No good Texan is
without a family photo taken amidst bluebonnet fields, and during spring,
traffic slowdowns usually signal that a brilliant blue haze is just over
the horizon. Texas stretches across plateaus, rivers, bayous, beaches,
hills and valleys, but at least for me, none defines her beauty more than
the bluebonnets right here at home.
