As I mentioned yesterday, we took our more-or-less annual pilgrimage to see Bluebonnets yesterday. Unfortunately, the trip was pretty much a bust.
We made our usual loop from Hempstead to Navasota to Brenham with side trips up several of the back roads where we have always seen large fields of flowers. We saw several patches of Bluebonnets along the highway or in the median, but no fields with acres of flowers. They just weren't there.
On the road between Chappell Hill and Washington on the Brazos, I did stop for a couple of photos, including this one of a young couple taking pictures of their kids in the flowers.
That ten acre field on US290 that always had dozens of folks out taking pictures had no Bluebonnets to speak of, and where it used to be open, it now has a barbed wire fence.
The only thing that kept the trip from being a complete bust was a stop at the Waller County Line Barbecue. They still have one of the best sliced brisket sandwiches in the world.
