June Road Trip to Texas
/My road trip from Missouri to Texas (and back) in June was harder than usual. It rained for the first two hours on the way down and again when I left Lewisville the next morning!
I was looking forward to the last rest stop on the drive down at the Texas Welcome Center on US 75 – thought I would see the bluebonnet seed pods. It was not to be. They had taken out the non-woody plants to put down fresh mulch! The beautyberry was blooming and there was one clump of cone flowers. There was a large fungus growing on an old stump – an indication that the area was getting some rain.
The stand of red yuccas blooming and forming seed pods at my dad’s memory care center brightened my mood!
On the way home I stopped at a diner in McAlister for lunch – just as the rain began to move out. The piece of pie was a splurge. It looked luscious in the case….but it was frozen! Fortunately, it was a hot day so a frozen piece of pie that tasted great was OK.
