The last day or two have been damp and drizzly, but it is to little to late for the wildflowers. South Texas springtime is normally ushered in by beautiful blankets of wildflowers with Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush and Purple Coneflowers in every free spot of land along roadsides, in open fields and throughout the hill country. This annual event is a part of life here. Displayed on postcards and captured in almost every family's scrapbook. This year a dry March and April meant sparse flowers for only a brief time and I am left longing for the colors and textures I have associated with spring since my childhood. So here I have the flowers I miss and the colors of out current drought manifest in one piece.
