It's that time of year again ... just when the Head Gardener and I are both thoroughly sick of summer, and quite certain that nothing could make being outside worthwhile, the roadside fields of Central Texas go wild. All along Highway 237 and Highway 159, they'll be popping up everywhere ... those harbingers of fall that bring joy to even the HG's hardened heart.
I speak, of course, of the antiques and junk dealers who blanket said fields with all manner of rusty stuff. Heat be danged, the HG and I are on a mission! We saddle up FloraBob, the little green truck, and we're off to explore the highways and byways in search of yard art. Sometimes we also find botanical treasures that make our heart sing and so it was today. All along the roads to Round Top and Warrenton, we saw white rain lilies blooming profusely. Happily, we were able to pull over and grab some quick pictures to share with y'all for Wildflower Wednesday.
And, yes, not only did Central Texas get some blessed rain this past week ... so did my corner of Katy!!!!!
