Thanks, Phil. The bluebonnets have finished blooming and are now setting seeds. The prairie verbena has put on quite a show this year, but it will decline when the real heat sets in.

Luckily the cowpen daisies will stick around all summer, providing nectar for bees and butterflies.

The cloudy days and cooler temperatures have delayed some of the perennials - but I am NOT complaining about the rain. We needed it! More is in the forecast for this weekend, so even more wildflowers will bloom.

I want the front pasture to look like this again....and it's beginning to happen. Hurray!

The wildflowers have been my labor of love for 23 years. So nice to see the hard work pay off!

My grandson and I spent some time last Saturday in Government Canyon state natural area west of San Antonio. The wildflowers were looking really good due to recent rains! I especially enjoyed seeing the Eve's Necklace blooming, having both flowers and seed on the trees. We spent at least four hours there and he clearly enjoyed that. We were both tired, but it's well worth an outing. I had to laugh at him insisting on being behind me on the uphill climbs, in case I fell. I felt I was the more experienced climber on those rocky uphill (and downhill) trails, but at my age I understood his concerns.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
