Sure is beautiful to see Spring in Texas with all the bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush blooming. Flowers can smell nice too! I also often find flower petals in our salads, but I couldn't tell you which are the edible ones she uses!
What We’re Doing
At least with bluebonnets, I know you have to plan ahead since the seeds should be planted in the fall for Spring blooms. Shannon has several flower beds around our house, and sometimes she's not sure what's going to pop up where- sometimes they are self-propagating. Here are a few photos of our girls in Texas bluebonnets, and Shannon collecting wild flower seeds. Happy Anniversary Shannon!

Two senior couples are walking along, wives in front, husbands in back.
Herb says to Sam, "Gee, we went to a new restaurant last night and had the best meal ever. Good prices too. "
Sam says, "Well, we like to eat out too. What was the name of the restaurant? "
Herb says, "You'll going to have to help me out here a little. What's the name of that pretty flower, smells sweet, grows on a thorny bush? "
Sam says, "How about rose? "
"Yes, yes, that's it!" cries Herb, then calls ahead to his wife. "Rose. Hey, Rose. What was the name of the restaurant we ate at last night? "

While attending a Marriage Seminar dealing with communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor.
"It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other," he said. Addressing the man, he asked "Can you describe your wife's favourite flower?"
Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently and whispered, "It's self-rising, isn't it?"
The rest of the story gets rather ugly, so I'll stop right here.

A sad-faced Doug walked into a flower shop early one morning. The clerk was ready to take his order for a funeral piece, based on the look on Doug's face, but soon realized his assumption was wrong as Doug asked for a basket of flowers sent to his wife for their anniversary. "And what day will that be? " the clerk asked. Glumly he replied, "Yesterday".
