Wildflower Wednesday

Last weekend - Ray and I headed to his aunt's in San Saba. On Friday, we had a jaunt to Fredericksburg.  Wildflowers galore - bluebonnets out the wazoo.  Thank you Lady Bird Johnson for your Texas beautification plan - the highways and byways were out of this world.

A to Z - Eye on Texas: F

 Our Letter F today travels to Fredericksburg Texas located in the hill country. Founded in 1846, with its large German influence, today it has a population of 10,000 and a large tourist flow.

There's a biergarten on the main street, and winery tours abound.  Peaches, lavender, and wildflower seeds are important agriculture products. Plenty of cutesy shops will keep you poking into corners.

Hungry? I bet the Longhorn Café has a monster chicken fried steak, or Porky's Burgers will offer cholesterol heaven.

Fredericksburg has a lot of bed and breakfast spots - so plan on making it a weekend. And don't forget to stop at the Fat Ass Winery.
