Recently our daughter told us that a local grocery store had Blue Bell ice cream on sale. We spent the rest of the day talking about making an ice cream run — but never did. It’s just Too Hot to get out! So I sketched these bluebells instead.
Originally the Brenham Creamery Company, the famous Texas ice cream brand was changed to Blue Bell in 1930, named for this elusive Texas wildflower. A friend of mine sent me photos of blue bells she found growing on her property.
What a lovely sketch of bluebells! We have very dry soil, no rain...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jana. We are also very dry with extreme heat and no rain, so wildflowers are much smaller and fewer than in normal years. My friend took photos of these, knowing they would be gone in only a few days.
