Sometimes each one of us in the family who drives, gets in their car and goes for a drive. I did this Saturday. R and I went out together for a drive-through lunch. She likes to do that. We even got ice cream. Later that afternoon I needed to get out by myself, so I drove east to a spot that I knew might have fields of sunflowers. East of I35, the land is more prairie-like as opposed to our area which is rockier and hillier, west of I35. Round Rock straddles the Balcones Escarpment. If you go from one extreme side of the area to the other, the difference is apparent.
I found a pull-off, parked and even got out for awhile. No one was around. I had a mask in case I needed it. I took some pictures, and just took in the sun, the breeze, the sounds of birds and the bright happy sunflowers.
It was what I needed. I went back home refreshed. The next day, Father's Day, we picked up barbecue, and went back to the sunflower fields pull-off, parked and ate dinner. It was nice for all of us.
