You know how when they're like that you can smell 'em on the breeze? Well, from the back of a motorcycle you can multiply that bluebonnet fragrance by a factor of 10! It's the most incredible thing to ride through the country in spring when they're blooming and smell that!
At the old house I could look out back and many years the bluebonnets would cover the fields over to the next hill. It was a sea of blue blowing in the breeze. Nothing like it! This is what Texas is all about! :-)
Our #2 son will be in Austin weekend after next to interview for Grad School. He's thinking he'd like to go to UT Austin rather than UMass Amherst simply because it will be warmer in the winter! LOL! He's tired of the cold; I can relate!
