Hi everyone: Sorry to say that the Spring Wildflower Scramble in Texas will not happen this year.
I am cancelling this get together because of the continuing drought, expected to carry through the winter, plus the ravages of wild fires across the state. No telling how many additional fires will happen yet this autumn. We are losing many old trees just from the drought alone. We just set another couple of new records. 70 days over 100 and 107 degrees two days ago, which is the hottest day this late in the year on record.
I suggest some one else in the group schedule something in an area more likely to have some nice scenery and wildflowers this next spring.
