It’s funny what happens when you live somewhere your whole life – that place makes up the air you breathe. It seems totally normal, uninteresting, mundane. But when you leave, all of a sudden home becomes fascinating, interesting, worth talking about. During my years in St Louis, I tried to explain the beauty, nay the glory of my beloved Texas. I had a few enthusiastic listeners but they were outnumbered by the eye rollers (“you Texans“). But now that I am back in my home state, I am soaking in those things that seemed so mundane before. Here are just a few of the things that I have loved about Texas over the last couple of weeks…
The storms and views in the Hill Country:
Rodeo clothes:
Rodeo events:
Rodeo food:
And rodeo… miscellaneous:
The beautiful view of the Houston skyline from Buffalo Bayou:
Spring bluebonnets:
The Kite Festival at Hermann Park:
Stay tuned. My love affair with my home state has only just begun…
