Bluebonnets!!
I saw my first bluebonnets on Saturday!! Always a great day in Texas when you see your first patch of the spring. Call it a ritual.

These were near Brenham. Of course locals will instantly realize I have hit the daily double since Brenham is home to Blue Bell ice cream.

If there were bluebonnets in Kansas they would be peeking up through a couple of inches of new snow. It should be our last of the season ... but then again this is Kansas! :rolleyes:

Thanks for sharing this early spring precursor Darren. Gives us something to look forward to in a few weeks.

Only a couple of inches ???? We have over 10 inches !!!! This past weekend we were in the upper 50's. 52 inches for the year - 20 some inches over the norm and the second largest snow falls on record. Ya gotta love Missouri... Oh - this Thursday should be 72 degrees..
