Thank you quiltykitty!! It gives me hope that spring is coming. I still have piles of snow 4 feet high in my yard and not a hint of a flower anywhere!! They don't call Canada the "frozen North" for nothing!!

See the beautiful blue sky with those puffy white clouds? My idea of a perfect Texas day.

Our Young @ Heart Bunch from church is going on a day trip this Sat thru the Hill country from Liberty Hill to the Llano area, so looking forward to seeing some good fields on the way.
You obviously found some great spots & LOVE the pics.
Have a blessed day

Also there is the Antique Rose Emporium in Independence, TX. Lots of antique roses. I've never been there.
