Death’s bleached mask peeks through
Flowers that ignore its claim
Life laughs last, again

The Mountain Laurel trees are in bloom. They smell so good, very sweet.

The first bluebonnets are blooming. We’ve had good spring rains and are expecting photo opportunities galore. There are always plenty of people who stop and park right on Interstate 35 in Austin for their photos. My plan is to look for bluebonnets on country roads and in parks.
