Thanks JB for the pics and music. I don't think I've ever heard those selections. Good stuff.

Ja' ever read Leon Hale in the Hou. Post or Chronicle (after The Post went under)? He and a friend would drive west once a year in search of new growth on old Mesquite trees. Old because, he said the young one's didn't know what they were doing. Ha,ha.They could then predict when spring would come to Houston judging by how far out west they drove. His columns would tell of their adventures as they searched the back roads of west Texas for the elusive green sprouts. Sometimes far, sometimes near. Some of my favorite Hale columns, next to his fortune teller, or talking mule. Ya did it to me again James. Threw me into the "Way Back". Thanks.

The green buds of the bluebonnets have remained dedicated to my Fredericksburg driveway gravel since last year. Never seen that before. They promise quite a blooming and a future halt to my parking convenience.
