Blooming Bluebonnets

“Guys always think tears are a sign of weakness. They’re a sign of FRUSTRATION. She’s only crying so she won’t cut your throat in your sleep. So make nice and be grateful.” ~Donna Barr
 
I went Bluebonnet hunting last weekend.  They are beginning to bloom, but it was unfortunately a stormy weekend.  I wasn't rained on but the sky was gray and overcast and the light was not great.  Murphy's Law and an amateur mistake, I was so fast out the door early in the morning, I didn't realize I forgot my tripod.  I did manage to get a couple decent shots.  I'm hoping this weekend will be better.

I was rear-ended in February and I finally got my car into the shop.  Dealing with the insurance company of the woman that hit me has been an exercise in frustration.  They refuse to accept the bills from the body shop and insisted on sending me a check based on their appraiser's estimate.  I'm hoping the body shop will have an easier time with them because the actual repair estimate is, so far, twice what they sent me.  What a hassle.

 
So I'm zipping around in a little rental car, thanks to which I almost fell on my face.  Used to my SUV, I was expecting a lot more space between myself and the ground when I stepped out of the car.  Of course, I'll get used to that and then get in my SUV again and fall out when the ground is LOWER than I now expect!  The nature of my life.
