@rothko

Hey! 🥰

I forgot you'd been here for a while. That was my first time to visit. It was quite barren but I don't know... all the oaks, the golden, sleeping brush and grass... just feels like home to me. I liked it a lot.

I'm gonna try to go back in March or April when things start blooming. Hoping there'll be a bunch of bluebonnets.

@WrenArcher omg that's the best time of year in central tx. did you know lady bird johnson is the one who stopped any billboards from being built on mopac so that people could enjoy the landscape? the highway dept keeps the grass along the road seeded with wildflowers.

I like that old Ogden Nash bit:

'I think that I shall never see

A billboard lovely as a tree

Indeed, until the billboards fall

We'll never see the trees at all"

Heh... that's so commercialized.

"See Luray Caverns" - I wonder how many billboards /they/ put up

@tuban_muzuru @WrenArcher omg yeah. love the snarky little sign at sevierville about no billboards allowed in their city limits so you can actually enjoy the natural view for a minute.
