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

I met up with my hiking group at St. Edward’s Park. Bull Creek runs through the area and has this nice waterfall.

The honeysuckle in Grandmother’s Flower Garden was about to burst into bloom when I was there. This garden is next to the Texas Quilt Museum in La Grange, Texas.
