Wichita Falls to Houston

This weekend I was in Wichita Falls participating in their Home and Garden Show run by the Kemp Center for the Arts. Besides giving my speech too fast (my normal flaw) the weekend went great. The local extension agent offered to watch Fischer (my Weimaraner) while I manned my booth. After picking up Fischer last night, I ran him around at a nearby park, threw the rubber duck about 25 times, and loaded him up in the truck. When I left Wichita Falls, I thought I was heading back to the farm. Then I thought that maybe I would stay in Dallas on the way back. Then I realized I didn't have time to do either. I had to be in Houston early this morning to get this week started on time.

I slept for one hour at a Walmart parking lot in Decatur, two hours at a La Quinta parking lot where the worker didn't answer the intercom I rang, and then made it into Houston about 5AM. Now I am at a Starbucks, close to the business I must take care of this morning. Once they open, I will complete my task and head to Burton, Texas to finalize plans for an event this Wednesday. However, Tuesday I must be in Victoria for a presentation and bulb dig. Once I hit Wednesday afternoon, I think I will crash!

Already dealing with the drivers. I was passed in the parking lot this morning by a car that thought I was going too slow over the speed bumps!

Below is a nice picture of a clump of campernelle blooms, a close up of some jonquils, and a nice close up of a blue Roman hyacinth we have blooming at the farm right now.
