After two days of rain, Sunday turned out to be one of the most beautiful days you can imagine. Not a cloud in the sky and the air felt clean and pure out in the country for the family reunion. About forty turned out for the picnic. The crowd was mostly on the older side but there were a few younger ones. The food was really good and there was lots of it. So I guess you could say it was a success.

After we turned off the highway we saw big fields of bluebonnets and primroses plus the occasional Indian blanket. The bluebonnets were starting to fade a little. Last weekend was probably the peak. Close by the side of the road we could see purple winecups which is a favorite of mine. I believe this is one of the best years for wildflowers in Texas that I can recall.
