 No, that's not somebody peeing off the bus That is all the rain water coming from the roof I woke up to a Thunder and lightning good morning from Fredericksburg, Texas That's how much rain dropped this morning. I would say that's three quarters of an inch. What do you say? More than a half inch That was just like in an hour. Yeah, it wasn't very long in it. Yeah Right hard though. All right first stop of the day. We are at a place called wild seed farms the largest wildflower seed Farm working seed farm and flower farm in the world apparently so It's not flower season. Yeah over here. They do have a bunch of fields There are no flowers right now. This is not flower season. So We're just gonna mosey around and check it out Find some psychedelic cactus here for $39.95 of Desert kind of plants and succulents and Clared actals over here. There's probably live music or events or something in the summertime This is definitely a spring-summer All kind of place to have a feeling because there's really not much blooming. Here is some kind of flower And that is pretty much the only thing blooming right now. These ones are hummingbird plants cool This place is that you can get a one-pound bag which covers about 2,000 square feet of all these different blends There's like southeastern Southwest Firecracker butterfly hummingbird and like all these different things for whatever region that you are from or that you're gonna grow so This is the next stop on today's journey Magnolia pearl house established 1865 Claire said 1865 was what? Louder, that's right folks This looks like an cool little old. I don't know 50s pickup truck With a chicken coop in the back Yes, Montal and Claire loves it. This is very Texas But yeah, super cool inside. This is actually a I think it's like a boutique But we had to stop because it's just so pretty and they have lots of interesting stuff like this little bench thing Yeah, look at this Yeah, just hang out Have a tea or coffee. It's pretty cool We got some interesting witchcraft. Yeah, get some interesting Things around here. Yeah, this is pretty cool. Oh That's oh my god, that's made out of stone. I thought it was wood. Isn't that crazy? Super cool. This is like the the quintessential Texas farmhouse antique farmhouse look. Oh my god What? This is so cool This is an actual functioning toilet. That's funny. I thought it was like a set up Holy cow Look at how massive this fireplace is. Oh my lord. It's the size of Claire This right here is a working pulley elevator, I'm not even sure what to call this thing But it goes all the way up to the top of the building that is cool Well, what do you think about that place Claire? Vintage very vintage. I don't normally stop in a boutiques, but this place is almost like a museum inside there I would say half museum half Historically accurate over-priced clothes Definitely some pricey stuff in there, but definitely some high quality Vintage everything. This is one of the coolest older buildings. I've ever seen in my life nothing screams Texas like Right in your horse home from church on a Sunday So we parked and we're now at In in Fredericksburg. I think this is the local library and there's some voting going on So that's some kind of city hall thing, but we just stumbled upon some pecans and I happened to step on one asking Claire if they're edible And she's a pecan master Are these edible? I mean this yeah, there you go the Fredericksburg library fresh pecans Damn, those are good Almost as like a hint of Like maple syrup flavor, wouldn't you say I? Just got scolded for almost stepping on the pecans and Claire said uh-uh, and this is a proper way if you step on them You shatter them. Oh, okay. This way see how it's all nice one big piece Yes, because it clearly tastes different when it's smashed up a little If you go through Texas and you don't stop and crack a few pecans fresh off the tree You haven't really experienced Texas Incredible great flavor some of them are just like Oozing with like sweetness and the oil and it's just it's great. These are delicious and it just fall right off the tree All right, so we're gonna stop off at the German little restaurant here Dirlindenbaum We're gonna get a little sausage, but basically this is a very touristy town If you have been to a touristy place before, you know, it's like you can get all kinds of like souvenirs gifts They got wine you can drink beer on the sidewalk and walk down the street popcorn fudge over the top and later But first we're gonna grab some lunch. We're gonna try the place across the street the Oslender beer Garten Hopefully it's a little bit on the cooler side that one was just a little bit warm and kind of stuffy and pretty quiet, huh? No going that place to a little bit too warm for me inside also I think for Claire, huh attempt number five Hopefully it is air-conditioned. We're not so hot inside Claire bird you want to do the honors It looks hot Yeah, so we got an order of a fried okra as an appetizer You can feel the heat rating off but here we go. Here's the main event We got the sausage German sausage plate two different kinds of sausages some kind of potatoes red Cabbage pickled kraut stuff and then we got regular sauerkraut and of course a yellow mustard and one hungry Claire bear What do you think about the potatoes? They're so yummy. I don't know they're they're sweet, huh? So we don't know what kind of we have to look on the menu, but these potatoes and sweet kind of flavor How do you like that red cabbage Yummy, which one's which I don't know. That's a Buckwurst and this is a other I don't know I think that's one that I have Yeah, bratwurst or just a dirt that's a dousel door the red cabbage right here Like a sweet flavor to it Now it's my turn Right Now we're having a sausage fight My gosh, well she was delicious and right across right next to our Um Restaurant place down there is a fudge place, so we're gonna get some fudge or at least sample some Claire what'd you get? Yep It was pretty rich, huh? Yeah So no joke. I just found my pink flamingos So great news finally in Texas discovered the pink flamingos. However, what is a bad news? No, it's clothes. That's so sad Packages of a chopped spinach added some some seasoning to it. There's a you know Southern seasoning the Louisiana seasoning a little pepper Claire bear Isn't it? It's super lean and super healthy So I guess you could substitute turkey for this you could do, you know a little butter Garlic onion mushroom saute a little red wine and then mix item with the the Elk or turkey or any kind of ground something lean because that the spinach makes up for the lack of moisture Anyways, I'm gonna call it a day Had a pretty fun day in Fredericksburg with this Pretty fun little munchkin Claire bear This is our last night together. I know big thumbs down for that one, but I'll see Claire bear at some point somewhere
