The Bluebonnet
The Bluebonnet is the Texas State flower, known for only growing naturally in Texas and no other location in the world. Funnily enough, there are 5 classified species of Bluebonnets.
These are photos I took of some rare Bluebonnet variants in the wild, which I found this Spring! The White or Albino Bluebonnet and the Light Bluebonnet, respectfully. (The last picture has some extremely dark colored bluebonnets). Finding different color variants of this one flower is so fun! The Bluebonnet is one of my favorite wildflowers :>

We'll Always Have Paris
Last weekend I went to Paris with my parents to see my maternal grandparents. Being unemployed the last couple months has been stressful so it was nice doing something fun to take my mind off it all.
The AirBnb we stayed at was a quaint, very tiny house. The owners left wine and cheese for us. So good! It was a really nice trip. Paris is a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there, so I enjoyed getting back home after being there a few days.
P.S. My granddad gave me an awesome guitar!!! (I might post pics later.) I also enjoyed seeing the iconic Eiffel tower, of course.

Strange that 9 years ago I came to this very place to get away and find myself a little more; look a little deeper. I was wounded and grieving something that wasn’t meant for that time in my life. In that, I found time to be an extra hand and spent time in solitude running outdoors, writing in cafes, listening to music that touched my soul.
Strange that 9 years later, I am here again, grieving for another reason, finding less solitude, but learning that time with those you love is the most important thing on this unkind earthly place. Still finding songs to fill my soul and writing down any lost words that have made themselves known.

Beautiful Carolina Desert Chicory Loves All Dry Sandy Habitats
Sandhill Chicory
There isn’t much blooming yet here in north central Florida, but it won’t be long before it starts. In anticipation of that, I chose one of our common but always beautiful spring flowers. It called Carolina desert chicory (Pyrrhopappus carolinianus), which is really interesting because it’s most common in dry, sandy environments in Texas (hence some other common names; Texas…
