Hot

It's about 90 degrees here in my apartment, but I'm trying my hardest not to turn on the AC.  It will be worth in when the electric bill comes in.  The solution so far has been shorts/tank top and ice water.  It's cooler at night...

Texas spring has been so sweet this year!  We had an abundance of rain, so it was the BEST season for wildflowers.  There were tons of bluebonnets, indian paintbrushes, and indian blanket flowers.  I love the way you'll look out and see fields awash in spectacular pink and yellow.  Everywhere are pastures covered in deep, dark bluebonnets surrounding island-like oak trees.   Even the thistles have their quaint purple spiky charm.

I love Texas highways in spring.  Thank you Ladybird Johnson!

Too bad that can't last.  We're headed into the hot times.  I adore the Texas Folklife Festival in San Antonio.  It's a HUGE event spanning several days on the grounds of the Institute of Texan Cultures in which there are multicultural food booths and performances, as well as pioneer themed crafts and performances.  Last year at the festival it was 105 degrees all day.  This was exceedingly unpleasant and forced me to eat too many snowcones.  I hope it isn't quite that hot this year, because I can't not go. I look forward to it all year.

Okay, so I need to finished this post.  My laptop is blowing hot air on me, and that just isn't gonna fly. 

My BFL came in the mail.  I think I'm in love.
