Looks good. We have a good crop here around Corsicana. I have more this year don't know if I'll live long enough to see my pasture full. Going down to Brenham and College Station the 21st so see some.

What is the beautiful rusty thing in the first picture? Looks like a tractor and maybe a cultivator?

Looks to be a old tractor pulling some kind of implement.

From the looks of the rear steel it is a Fordson tractor built by Henry Ford Motor car Co. and a grain Drill. Doesn't have its box for holding the grain while planting.

Pretty sure behind the tractor is a grain drill. Take better pics next time...

The nicest I have seen in my travels

Here are the gps coordinates 63.4377° N, 20.2673° W. Haha. Non native there but like the moisture, humidity and long hours of sun when blooming too much. They are taking steps to eradicate. Outside of TX, they are correctly called lupine. There is enough other cool stuff to do there I would make it a repeat vacation despite getting an almost $500 speeding ticket in the mail upon my return.

Wow1 That would certainly take the fun out of a vacation. Yes if everything is good they will really grow. There are a whole lot more Bluebonnets around me this year than last. We had rain at the right time.

No Bluebonnets but found this 3 legged Aermotor on my trip to Brenham close to Independence Tx. :)
