Fredericksburg Outing
Last Saturday I went to Fredericksburg, Texas with a friend and her daughter. Fredericksburg was founded by German immigrants in 1846. Today it's a favorite place for people in the area to go shopping for antiques and other goodies.
Along the sidewalk I noticed this mystery plant...
The flowers reminded me of a penstemon, but as usual I've no idea what it is.Edit: Annie in Austin says it looks like Mexican oregano. Thanks again, Annie! :-)
Just down the street was this sweet horse buggy.
Saturday was a lovely day and the shops weren't too crowded. The plethora of stores on Fredericksburg's Main Street is mind-boggling. I liked this lamp...
And these carved wood panels... 
I may go back and get a couple next week. I'm not much of a spontaneous purchaser.
The drive to and from Fredericksburg is always beautiful. We saw lots of farm animals, a couple buffalo, llama and even an ostrich on the various farms as we drove along. I'm hoping we'll attend the Fredericksburg Oktoberfest next weekend. It should be fun. Oompah!
