Ode to Spring in the Texas Hill Country

It's an amazing time of year in the hills of Central Texas. Wildflowers bloom, tomatoes grow, peppers produce, grape vines stretch towards one another. And all the birds sing their sweet songs.

I am at peace with my hands in the dirt at Love Life Gardens. My fingers and back sore from the labor. The air gives life in these big blue skies. The smells are sweet with innocence and opportunity. Everything is new again.

Hamilton Pool & Grotto near Austin, Texas

Hamilton pool and grotto is an amazing natural recreational spot located just minutes west of Austin, Texas up near Lake Travis. It's a great day trip destination. Be sure to plan your visit well, as they only allow a limited number of visitors at a time. This is wonderful as it keeps the spot from getting overcrowded, but it could mean you'll be waiting in your car for an hour to get in.

Here's a brief video I took of Hamilton pool and grotto:
