Time to stop and smell the ... bluebonnets!

Springtime in Texas is a gorgeous thing. There may be parts about living in this state that I am not a fan of (mosquitos the size of horses I am looking at you) but what I do love? Springtime!

While it never gets cold enough here to have the trees die in winter and bloom back to life like much of the east coast does. Washington D.C. (my previous locale) even had a corner on spring with their gorgeous cherry blossom trees and Cherry Blossom Festival (if you live near DC and haven't experienced it you really need to! It's almost over!). But despite all of these lovely spring events, central Texas does have it beat in my opinion.
