The Most Beautiful Time of the Year in Central Texas

Happy Spring! Spring has graced us here in Central Texas and the bluebonnets are just spectacular with all of the rain that we have been getting.

According to historian Jack Maguire, "The Bluebonnet is to Texas what the Shamrock is to Ireland". We can certainly attest to this. Most of the countryside is covered in bluebonnets, or other wild flowers. Texans owe a special thank you to Lady Bird Johnson for her diligence and efforts in spreading wild flower seeds across the state.

Please take a look at these wonderful photos taken by the "Texas National Press" to see what we mean:

We'll be back in touch shortly with some of the wonderful inventory that has been arriving at Beacon's Glow Collectibles.
