Being that it is Nancy of Nancy's Garden Spot who was our tour guide, gardens and plants figured highly in our tour.
Because Texas is hot and dry, many homes have lovely naturalized plantings featuring cacti and prairie flowers in order to conserve water.
You just don't see Century Plants like this in Chicago.
Our next stop was one of Nancy's favorite garden centers where we found...

... garden...
... kitsch!
They aren't kidding when they say everything is bigger in Texas. These windchimes are taller than I am!
The wind in the live oak trees reminded me of Don Williams singing "Good Old Boys Like Me".
Our lovely tour guide taking a well-deserved break. Doesn't she look happy?
Tomorrow, Part III -- the State Capital and the Trooper who threatened to arrest Livey!
