Lady Bird Johnson died. I knew practically nothing about her, except that every time I drive along the highway with my family and we come across a patch of wildflowers, my mother always mentions how she was so glad that Lady Bird Johnson did the work she did to have the wildflowers planted along the nation’s highways.
It wasn’t world peace or national literacy, but it was a simple something that brought a lot of beauty and modest happiness to the world.
Thanks, Lady Bird.
… and the featured article on Wikipedia today is “mourning dove”. Go figure.

I love all the wildflowers near the roads here in Texas.

Yes, that we all would be judged by how many flowers we left blooming on the Earth.
I was tagged by Suburbanlife (who was tagged by MariaChristina)to provide 8 facts about myself, and then tag another blogger to do the same. You’re “It”! Please take part? It’s a very small way we can learn who fellow bloggers are. My list is on my blog if you want to read it.
Best wishes.
