This past weekend, I gave my four-year-old the choice of attending the St. Patrick's Day parade in Houston (followed by an afternoon at Discovery Green), or of heading to Washington County (where I grew up) to look for bluebonnets and visit with friends. She opted for the bluebonnets.

It's early yet, but we were able to find some nice patches here and there. They should be in fool bloom in the next week or two, and it looks as if it's going to be a good year (as opposed to last year during the drought...).
