Spring has Sprung
in the Bend
I
t’s March in Fort Bend County – Spring has sprung! There’s new life, renewed vibrancy and a
push to get out of the house! Here are some of the things Nancy and I enjoy every March. We love flowers blooming, especially our official state flower – the stunning Texas Bluebonnet. There’s a myth that you have to drive to the Texas Hill Country or central Texas to see true Texas bluebonnets. If you feel compelled to leave Fort Bend, enjoy paying $3.50 for a gallon of gasoline and driving for three hours, please be my guest. But, if you prefer loading up your car with a picnic lunch and the family dog(s) for a fifteen-minute drive that features Texas Hill Country caliber bluebonnets, they are waiting for you right here in Fort Bend! The best local spot Nancy and I have found in Fort Bend is in New Territory/Telfair around the lakes by Cornerstone Elementary School and the Museum of Natural Science. There are wide trails suitable for baby strollers and easy access around all the lakes. Feel free to take photographs among our bluebonnets but never pick them – it’s against Texas law. Bluebonnets are Fort Bend Strong! I have always promised to keep politics out of this column, especially if bluebonnets are involved. I will never break that promise, but I am going to share an “observation” that may seem like politics because it involves the Aggies and the Longhorns.
