Texas has had a drought since fall of 2007. This is a sad thing because the Texas state flower is the bluebonnet, which requires adequate rainfall to bloom. So for the last 2 years there have been absolutely no flowers. Anywhere.
Last fall and this spring, the drought broke and we have had rain nearly every month since October or November. Because of this, the wild flowers have been incredible this year. So incredible that whole families pull off the side of the road to plop their children into them for family photos.
So, yeah. Amazing.

Oh gorgeous! We're drought prone up here, too - actually in the middle of one now, but there's some promising weather around at the moment. It's such a joy and a relief when it breaks, isn't it?
