Texas Bluebonnets

The bluebonnets are spectacular! They are not everywhere, but I see scattered patches along the roads.I sat in this patch near Nancy's house for a long time yesterday, marveling at their beauty. I thought of Mom and how much she would have loved them. But it didn't make me cry, and it didn't even make me sad.I simply felt a smile, from deep inside, working its way over my being, like a sunrise that slowly lightens the day.
