We have fun picking the images for our catalog cover. This image grabbed our attention because it made us think of Texas wildflowers, the joy of reading a good book, taking time to enjoy a quiet moment after all the hustle and bustle of the holidays... all the things that say Spring to us. As we enter into the New Year, we urge you to slow down and take advantage of all the learning opportunities that life presents.
