About five years ago, Matt, Mariah, my dad, and I went up to Fredericksburg and found this little place called Wildseed Farms. They have fields and fields of wildflowers, herbs, and trees. You can even purchase a pail and some clippers, and clip as many wildflowers that will fit in your pail and take them home with you. That day was so special to me that I wanted to relive it with Chris. Tuesday was really dreary, but we decided to make the trip anyway. We had a great drive up there: talking, singing, dreaming, and laughing together. Despite the lack of sunshine, it was a very scenic drive. When we got to the farm, we walked around looking at different kinds of plants and flowers, and played "Guess that herb" (we would rub the leaves and make each other smell them, and guess what they were...don't judge; it was fun!!). They whole time we were intoxicated by the smell of the mountain laurels (which is the kind of tree we planted in our yard on V-Day). They smelled glorious!! As far as the fields and fields of wildflowers, we were two weeks to early to experience their full splendor, but that was okay, we still walked through the fields. After a couple hours, it started to drizzle so we decided it was a good time to leave. We stopped off in Boerne to have a late lunch, and then went to Mom and Rex's for some family time.
Today Chris and I had a lazy day. We held the sofa hostage and watched some movies. I made pigs in a blanket, and we didn't get up to do anything until about six o'clock.
This has been a fantastic mini-vacay, and I'm kind of sad that I have to go back to work tomorrow. Here are a few pictures from Tuesday: ENJOY!
