My day started with a cup of cappuccino as usual and I have to admit that I have never managed to drink a single cup without leaving a mushy biscuit residue in the bottom. clumsy me ;) But you can't call me clumsy this time, the wild colorful flowers in my backyard swayed with the breeze, dancing playfully and I was totally engrossed in gazing at them. Remember how Wordsworth mentioned in "I wandered lonely as a cloud" , about the daffodils fluttering and dancing in the breeze, beneath the trees, stretched in an unending line. I could completely picture that with the wild flowers in my backyard. My wandering mind didn't want to spend the Saturday at home, it needs a spring escape too.
Then it occurred to me, mid-March to April is actually the Bluebonnet season so I googled to find the exact place. My husband on the other hand still couldn't figure out what was I up to early morning with all the googling. I asked him if he was interested too, just wanted to make sure before all the searching for bluebonnet locations in the web. I tell you 'no' is never a part of his vocabulary when it comes to visiting places or road-trips. The location was actually half way to Austin, and my over enthusiastic mate suggested we could drive a few more miles after the bluebonnet fields to visit Mt. Bonnell as well. See, I told ya..he added more to the visit and I can't help but love him more.
Wait.. did I mention the best part yet?
I was super excited to drive all of SH-71. He still treats me like a kid when it comes to driving on Highways but he felt kinda lazy to drive today and all of Texas State Highway 71 was mine. My excitement rose to ecstatic to drive at 130 km /hr with the loud music on.
Say hello to an awesome spring escape!!
