Finally Friday - A Rant (plus pretty flower pics) About Parking Fees

Yep - I did not sit on any bluebonnets for this picture.  It's a sacred thing in  Texas.  Nothing  was harmed!

 And a wow shot of a field of Indian paintbrush. 

So -the rant.  You do not see me or Ray at the Sugar Ridge Winery and that's a shame. I was ready to sample and  buy some wine,  plus perhaps eat an  overpriced lunch in a pretty setting. BUT - as  we pulled in  it was Valet Parking only for $10.  

NO - that broke my spirit.  They were  taking full advantage of  the Bluebonnet Festival  audience. So they lost a bunch more business. 

It flat out pissed me off.

Parking has become a ridiculous price point in the DFW  area.   I'm curious what you are seeing in your area?

Opening Day baseball  parking  $50.  Regular day of no  consequence - $15.  Weekends  $20

Are you going  to wash our car?  Give us something.........

We are still mad  at Abby's high school graduation at Dickie's Arena in Fort Worth - we were charged money for a freakin' high school graduation............

Enough said. 

That's my rant.   I hope you enjoyed some more pretty flower pics - I'm the thorn in the middle - annoyed at the world! 

Cheers  and have  a super good weekend.   Watch  where  you park.

Whatever Wednesday - Ennis Bluebonnet Trail

Sunday - Ray and I headed southeast  to Ennis - a one hour drive.  Such fun - it's the bluebonnet festival time and we enjoyed a gorgeous adventure.  Kachina Prairie walk - 1/2 mile with a nice bison statue.

OMG - glorious

Bluebonnets

 Paintbrush

Yes, you can  be sick of my flower posts,  but you have to understand - this is a fabulous April event in Texas.  The right amount of rain, sun, and  weather conditions allowed all of this to happen. 

Not too cold. Not too hot. Not too dry. Not  too rainy.  

It's a freakin' miracle and I'm sharing  it with you.    Thanks Ray for driving  me around the countryside. He's awesome.  And Mother Nature it too.
