In search of the elusive bluebonnet...

P1 - Goodbye dust & grime. Hello clean, paint spotted clothes. According to the Texas weatherperson it wasn't even windy enough to be described as "breezy" but any stronger and the line behind my sister's house probably wouldn't have taken the beating.
P2 - An elegant women's luncheon hosted by my sister's church group. Each table was decorated differently and the one in the photo was done by Becky with some flowers from mother's garden.  Mother & I both got to sit at this table since we were arranged by birth month and we both have July birthdays.
P3 - Gerry (from the pool) was just in Charlottesville VA (not Idaho) and visited one of the few remaining "Spudnut" donut shops in the country.  Waiting for us when we got back to camp today was a special delivery of spudnuts.  Wow! Thank you Gerry!!!
The rest of the photos are from one of Mason's bluebonnet trails. The historical marker is where the Todd Mountain graveyard is and the photo next to it is the "mountain". John Wayne's western, "Searcher", was based on this story.  The road was scenic and, yes, we did ford those crossings except for the one in the last photo which was the end of the trail, at least for us.  The cattle tried to hit us up for a little food on the way back but... And one photo has the few bluebonnets we saw. Can you find them?
