In Washington county Texas, home of the larger city Brenham, Texas, bluebonnets are everywhere. Also, in Brenham is Must Be Heaven https://www.mustbeheaven.com/ my favorite eatery when I head to Washington County. They have the best sandwiches and homemade pies. This time I opted for the Italian Hoagie and a slice of coconut creme pie. There is nothing like wide open country roads, beautiful flowers, wildlife, and great food. In Texas we call that a “ROAD TRIP!” Here a few photos I took along the way. I hope you enjoy them! If you like this post, check out my other bluebonnet post from a few years back highlighting another area. https://albertmoyerjr.com/2018/03/31/spring-bluebonnets-and-more/

It had been a while since I visited the Houston Polish Festival and this year my heart was calling me to it. My brain was imagining the scents and flavors of Bigos and the fresh smell of delectable baked goods. The comradery among the Polish and their welcoming nature always makes for a great time. The festival offered a really nice silent auction with many authentic Polish products direct from Poland. The grounds had many booths with hand-made crafts. The dancing and music created the vibe of joy and happiness. For more information on next year’s fest visit https://www.houstonpolishfestival.com/ And as always here are a few photos from my adventure.

The food and service here were exceptional. The politics fun and humorous. I’ve never in my life had a burger bun branded. Trump Burger exemplifies everything that is great about America. If a person comes to America, works hard, has an idea, contributes to a business employing others, that person makes America great. “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” John F. Kennedy, Democrat. Great food! I’ll be back! If you’re in Bellville, Texas, give it a try.

Salt Lick BBQ 2023

In, Texas, you can stir up quite a scene talking about who’s BBQ is #1. Being a native Texan, I’ve eaten a lot of BBQS over the last 50 years. Many are excellent places because the competition is stiff. You either BBQ excellent or you go out of business eventually. What might be #1 to one person is average to another. Sort of like coffee, beer, or iced tea. With that said, SALT LICK BBQ is my new #1. I loved the environment of the restaurant in Driftwood, Texas in the Texas Hill Country. The service was exceptional and the BBQ over-the-top. I could go on and on about it, but I’ll let you read their history and learn more about them at their website link. https://saltlickbbq.com/driftwood/

Bob Bullock Texas History Museum 2023

Inside this mega-museum there are thousands of Texas treasures that chronicle how the great Lone Star State began and is currently growing. The museum is three stories tall and several thousand square feet. During my visit, I spent over six hours and did not get to read or study every detailed display due to the vast collection of history. The museum boasts the Star Cafe which has great lunch time food choices. It is also located in the heart of downtown Austin close to the Texas Capitol and The University of Texas. I’m no politician, but if I were, I would require all Texas school children to visit. It would be a great use of funding in my opinion. Six Flags over Texas has much more meaning than the name of an amusement park. Thank you for visiting my blog. Here are a few photos from my visit.

When a hot Texas summer is upon us one of the best places to relax and cool off is the San Marcos River. Here you will find refreshingly cool 70-degree water year-round. Floating down the river you will hear the sounds of birds singing and may spot a few you’ve never seen before. You will see wild Texas rice growing in the river where it grows nowhere else. You will see fish swimming and turtles sunning. It’s a peaceful and relaxing place. Let’s care for it so it’s around for many more generations. Here are a few photos from my recent visit. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by my blog.

American Ibis- A Haiku

Probing the shallows

For food makes up our long day

Roosting, preening, rest.

American Alligator – A Haiku

Shy, timid, peaceful

Sprawl, crawl, territorial

We ambush our prey.
