Frolicing in the Flowers

For Easter weekend, we decided to enjoy the good weather and see the bluebonnet booms which are at their prime. Ennis is only about an hour away and we enjoyed walking, being goofy with posing for pictures and being together. It smelled great!  We packed a picnic lunch. We walked fields on public land and then took the driving tour of roads going by private land filled with blossoms. The star is always the bluebonnets but we liked the indian paint brush, primrose, and several others. 

One of the coolest things was a large ranch along the bluebonnet trail puts out bags of oats for the bluebonnet lovers to feed their horses and donkeys. I thought that was very kind of them. We had a great time feeding and petting them. We were happy to rinse and sanitize our hands afterward the slobbery fun, though.
