Old Truck in the Bonnets

I have talked before about living in the country, rural America, and the South's propensity to leave old vehicles just sitting outside until they rust. This old truck has not been totally abandoned;however, it is being overtaken by weeds and lucky for me, bluebonnets! The "birthplace" of Texas history is Independence, Texas. It is small, kind of run-down, but it is historically huge in our state's history. Bluebonnets surround every part of this little town. If you are ever off Highway 105 between Navasota and Brenham, Texas turn off on Hwy. 50. Go in late March or very early April. For our Lutheran friends, there are four historical Lutheran churches within two miles of one another. Wind your way around the beautiful hills, slow down, and see where the road takes you. You won't be disappointed.
