OK, for those Grandkids that might be reading this, Lady Bird Johnson was the wife of one of our Presidents, Lyndon Johnson. She is responsible for those small signs on Interstates that tell you what services are coming up at the next exit. There would have normally been an ugly billboard advertising what was coming up. She liked wildflowers and had them planted along our Interstates. She and her husband were responsible for a lot of things that most young people are unaware of. A high-school report might be worth doing. Today's drive took us through Eden, Texas. The welcome sign at the edge of town claimed that Eden was the center of Texas. I'm somewhat skeptical. Could someone confirm that? We drove through a virtual forest of wind turbines near Roscoe. It is supposedly the 3rd largest wind farm on earth. Over 100,000 acres, 627 turbines that can power 234,000 homes. Put that in your trivia library, you might be able to use it some day. We are here for 2 nights.
The road going toward Shelly has several spots that different flowers are planted on each year. Cars are always stop with people out and taking pictures. That's alot of turbines!
