Anyone remember that 1972 song by 3 Dog Night? This slice of TX April was found in an empty lot next to a local convenience store. April in TX finds every vacant lot, every nook and cranny alive with wildflowers...thanks in part to Lady Bird Johnson...her vision and legacy lives on and endures spectacularly here in TX each Spring.">
