There are wildflowers growing all over Texas right now. And, between all the lovely flowers and the weather, I’d like to wrap the entire state of Texas with a great big bow and send it to every one of y’all.
Along with some chips and guacamole.
And maybe some breakfast tacos.

beautiful!!! (well until those cows charge Caroline but whatever…;) )
Fabulous! It’s a little early here, but with warm weather in the 80′s forecast this week, we should have lovely fields soon. Caroline looks charming. I’ll bet those are the cows that make Blue Bell, right?
Lovely!! I especially love the last one.
I miss Texas bluebonnets! Just beautiful!!!
Very pretty!
I’m packing my bags and heading to Texas! Gorgeous!!
Congrats! You already have your 2010 christmas card pics! So pretty!
Christmas with a capital C! It’s too early! Whew!
It is beautiful, but you can keep your Texas size bowl of pollen right there with you
, but keep the pictures coming the flowers are very pretty.
That one of her in front of the cow is HEE-LARIOUS!
Beautiful pics! Our bluebonnets haven’t arrived in Dallas yet! Caroline is adorable–such a poser!
Thanks for sharing!
We don’t have very many here in the Dallas area yet, but I’m definitely ready for them to bloom!! They are absolutely gorgeous. For once, the government did something right when they got involved in spreading wildflower seeds. : )
Oh how I miss blue bonnets! My hearts aches to see them. I’m so jealous. And Caroline could totally take those cows.
Gray and rainy and was 26 degrees here yesterday. Thanks for the loveliness!
Pretty pretty photos!! The third one is my favorite. She looks like such a diva in the one with the cows. “Nobody shares a stage with me!”
Taking a picture of your kids in the middle of a blue bonnet field must be a “must do” in Texas!
I am sure many would love your Texas sized present, but be sure to add Zyrtec, Singulair, or just plain Benadryl. However, I feel like the chips, hot sauce & guac out numbers the allergies!
If you don’t mind my asking. Where are those gorgeous flowers?
I’m stuck in New England where it definitely doesn’t look like that! I love all the flowers, and wow, that girl just gets cuter and cuter
What beautiful flowers and I love the cows in the background! I have hope that perhaps now the negative connotation I’ve had with the phrase you used for your title can be replaced with all things good- do you know how many times I was forced to watch Pee Wee’s Big Adventure with my brothers and hear him sing “the stars at night…?”
Beautiful! I have always wanted to visit Texas when the bluebonnets are in bloom. Maybe someday!
Where did you find the big field of the bluebonnets? I live in the north part of town from you and all I’ve seen is a few small patches off of the highway……
This is what I miss most about living in South Texas! The bluebonnets are just so gorgeous!
LOVE the one with the cows!
So stinking awesome!! At this time last year, we were getting ready to leave cold Ohio to see warm, gorgeous, flowery Texas (and Big Mama) for the first time. That trip was INCREDIBLE. We will never, ever, ever forget it!
I love these! Since moving away from B/CS I really miss those wildflowers. We just don’t see too many in Houston!
I plan a trip to Independence, TX to the Antique Rose Emporium this weekend to see the wildflowers on the drive there. So beautiful!! Maybe you could send some of the pollen to other places too! I’m so sick from all of that yellow-green stuff that is floating down from the oak and pine trees!
Beautiful!!! I can hardly wait to get there!
Love these pictures! Caroline is beautiful! If you’re going to send Texas as a gift, could you please get rid of the extremely high pollen count and send that away too? Thanks!
Beautiful flowers and an adorable kid!

I love the one with the cows. You forgot to mention that it is a law in TX to take pictures of your child in the bluebonnets.
Aw the state flower! Love all those pics, you did good!
.. And as usual, Caroline is a doll!
Love these pictures, they are just darling!!
The 2nd to the last picture makes me think Caroline is singing… “We eat all we can, and we sell the rest!” You probably have to be Texan and love Bluebell to know what I’m talking about.
We lived in Texas for five years. The thing I miss the most are the bluebonnets.
Those cows in the background of that one picture made me laugh! And they actually remind me of another thing I miss about Texas. Bluebell Ice Cream.
Lovely colors!
Please share what a breakfast taco consists of…….sounds yum-o!
I love bluebonnets. Those are great pics!!!
Caroline is too too cute! Love the one with the cows in the back! The expression on her face is priceless!
The stars at night
are big and bright
(clap clap clap clap)
I love it too. Minus the INSANE ALLERGIES.
From a born and raised, it’s my favorite time of year.
Everytime I see those lovely wildflowers I send a little thank you to Lady Bird Johnson and her fab idea. Can you repost this mid-july so we remember what ‘spring’ was like for us and that we did in fact, enjoy living in South Texas?
We just traveled from Amarillo to Houston and back last week and I was so bummed because I didn’t see any bluebonnets! So thanks for sharing your bluebonnets – maybe next time we go to Houston I can keep my eyes open long enough to catch a glimpse of some.
She’s such a fun little spirit! Love the pictures!
Thanks so much for the gift =)
What beautiful photos…all the subjects were lovely. =)
I love the pics! Where did you find so many bluebonnets so early?? We only have a few in The Woodlands.
My mom has pictures of my brother and me in a vast field of bluebells, from our 3 year stay in Texas. Breathtaking.
Love the pictures! Caroline is so adorable. I like it when the wildflowers are in bloom. But my allergies do not! I have to load myself up on Zyrtec and wear a mask if I even want to get close.
From someone who took pictures of their dog (back off…I don’t have kids yet…) in the bluebonnets yesterday and had chips, guacamole and brisket tacos for dinner last night, I would just like to say, “I love you Texas!” Happy spring!
PS…my checker at HEB did stop and talk to me for 2 minutes about my great avacado selection. I told him there are 2 things I do well and picking good avacados is one of them! Making good queso is the other….
What BEAUTIFUL pictures!! Makes me want to purchase a plane ticket!
My oldest daughter has a wildflower project due in three weeks. Wondering if we identified all in your beautiful pics that would count. Wish you could send them this way!
Spectacular.
I miss Texas soooo much! Please please box up some sunshine, wildflowers, Pappasitos, and Chick Fil A for me. I’m sure that would even fit in a flat rate
Love the wildflowers! And I must agree with Casey about the missing Texas. I could really go for some Chipotle RIGHT. NOW. Man, their guacamole is the best and I miss it
How beautiful!!! I want that in my front yard!!
Oh those pictures are so sweet! I love the last one.
I’d take a bit of that right now – our grass is still brown in Michigan and we are JUST starting to creep into the 50s and 60s. We were 70 one day a couple weeks ago. The next day it snowed.
OK, that is seriously the most gorgeous field of bluebonnets I have ever seen and I’ve never seen a field of bluebonnets. That huge tree in the background, gorgeous!
I need to go find me a field of bluebonnets. Some country girl needs to make a country music video in those fields, it would seem appropriate.
Absolutely gorgeous! I adore wildflowers. When I was little I was convinced that heaven was a place of endless wildlower meadows. Thanks for sharing!
I miss the Texas Wildflowers! We don’t have them like that in Oklahoma, even though we are neighbors.
Love the pic with the cows in the background.
GOD BLESS TEXAS!! I love our state for those very reasons u stated above- and HEB and queso and margaritas!!
Heading down from Houston to the San Marcus area to see the in laws this weekend and I cannot wait to see the blue bonnets on I-10.
The pics of Caroline were so cute!!
Spring has sprung here in Virginia too. The daffodils and the tulips are beautiful. Great pix of Caroline. Very Sound of Music. I expect her to start singing “The hills are alive…” LOL
I love the bluebonnet pics! I always miss TX this time of year. My Mom lives in Brenham–bluebonnet central! Thanks for sharing your pics!
Love the pics. Things are just now starting to pop around here. I am just hoping the Dogwoods make it out before Sunday. I love it when they bloom just for Easter.
We plan to go to Independence in the next week and get some bluebonnet shots. They’re all over B/CS right now and I just love it. This definitely tops my list of the reasons why I LOVE being a Texan…spring in the Hill Country!!! But while you’re packing up the lovely sights of a Texas spring, you better go ahead and throw in a bottle or two of Zyrtec while you’re at it. Around our house it’s a staple this time of year
What wonderful pictures! Thanks for sharing!
so jealous of these seeing how I just spent 45 mins driving around looking for some that weren’t in someone’s front yard!
I live in Michigan and have never personally seen the blue bonnets! Our daughter and her young family just moved to Austin and we will be there in late April… I sure hope I get to see them then!
Your daughter is just too stinkin’ adorable! ~?~
I accept your wonderful present, and as soon as my daughters are over their gunk, I promise to send you something in return. Hmm, now what would make a good gift? I’ll have to think on that.
Your pictures make me want to go to Texas. I think some of our plants are just starting to bud here in Indiana. It looks like SPRING where you are. {sigh}
btw, it’s lovely that every cow is looking at the camera in that one picture. And yes, I am back looking at how beautiful these pics are 4 hours later after a previous comment.
Boy would I love to pic some of those flowers for my centerpiece. Lovely.
Ginger
absolutely precious!
Oh, the pain in my heart when I see bluebonnets…I can’t believe my children are growing up without annual Easter pictures in the bluebonnets!!
Oh, how I wish you really could send that up this way. We *might* have some blooms by mid-May.
There’s no place like home….(heels clicking)
Enjoy those beautiful blessings this Easter week!
Those flowers are stunning! Spring is here!
P U R T Y !!!
Oh, those pics so remind me of home. I’m a Texas girl, too, but have lived in AZ for a long time. I had almost forgotten that particular bit of Beautiful Texas!! Thanks.
Oh!!!!!!! I grew up in Texas. And I MISS bluebonnets.
Great Pictures! It is a MUST that you take your young’uns photo by bluebonnets if you live in Texas! Are these photos anywhere near Willow City Loop? That’s just about the best place for them.
Love My Texas!!!
Can you just wrap Caroline up in a great big bow and send her to me?!
(Did you take these pictures,or did AJ?)
LOVE the pictures. I can’t decide if the third or fourth is my favorite (like it matters!) but I just love the pictures.
Thanks for the Texas sized greeting…made me smile.
I LOVE when the bluebonnets come out. I love it even more when it’s close to Easter when they come out because we always travel at Easter. It makes the drive happier. : )
I’ve never seen you in person, but I’m pretty sure you – unknowingly (or knowingly?) – dress C like yourself. Or maybe she strives to dress herself like her big mama. Either way, it’s a good thing…and I don’t even like Martha Stewart. I can’t help it but when I buy clothes for my 2 1/2 year old daughter, I tend to buy things I would wear. I’m sure she’ll cure me right up either when she’s 5 or 13.
I just drove across the state and witnessed nary a bluebonnet. Very disappointing. I did smell WAY too many cow farms (you know the ones where they intend to just slaughter them, so they pack 400 too many cows into a small area where they live in their own poo until they become hamburger. Made me want to become a vegetarian.)
I did, however, see a camel farm, which was interesting. And Madisonville now has a Bucee’s. Life is complete. And as I drove past the World’s Cleanest Restrooms, I listed to Aggie96, and a guy was on there that was from the class of 2002. I spent some time calculating his age, and then my age, and then decided that I didn’t mind just listening to the kids bicker in the backseat!
