The Gift of Flowers

I just wanted to share, with all of my guests,

 the beautiful flowers that came from a dear friend's garden.

Mary V. is a great gardener, cook, friend that will listen to you, and

 one who will always be there if you need her.

These flowers came from her garden in Beaumont, Texas.

 I placed them on the side board in my dining room to share with all of you!

Sending you hugs Mary V.

Things to Remember when Photographing Texas Bluebonnets

Bluebonnets of Central Texas 2012

The bluebonnets are starting to show up and will continue to fill the pastures.

Just a reminder when photographing these beauties of nature.

 In the fields of bluebonnets there are:

1.  red bugs also known as chiggers

2.  Texas fire ants

3.  Texas snakes

So use your zoom on your camera and that will allow you not to have to step in the flowers!

Also never go onto a property that has been posted!

Remember you are in TEXAS!

Coach Pappy Drennan's Roses

Coach Pappy Drennan

Jimmy's high school coach passed away a few months ago, at 101 years old.  

He was the oldest living A&M University- Aggie, at the time that he passed.

These football players made an effort to get to his birthday parties each year, 

in Beaumont, Texas.

The players and their wives checked on Pappy regularly.

Pappy loved roses and had a glorious rose garden, in his yard.

After his passing, the football players lovingly dug up rose bushes from his yard.

These are the ones Jimmy brought home.  We transplanted them in the winter months.

 We were so happy to see the new growth and the flowers start to bloom!

When the red one starts to bloom I'll let you see!

We will cherish these roses and memories of Coach Pappy Drennan.

Bluebonnets are Beginning to Show Up Around Brenham

It is almost that time of year!

Bluebonnet plants are everywhere!

Can you see the beginning of two blooms?

These are all over our front beds.

It is just the beginning of the beautiful wave of blue to deep indigo and the back to a pale blue as the season of bluebonnets takes place.

Make your plans now to stay with us at The Brenham House Bed and Breakfast!
