Where to see bluebonnets and wildflowers in Dallas-Fort Worth while social distancing - culturemap.com

Fort Worth and Arlington city limits, too. For those willing to drive a bit out of town, pretty patches and gorgeous fields have been spotted in Plano. One is near the J.C. Penney headquarters on Legacy Drive. Another is along the Bluebonnet Trail Greenbelt, just east of where the trail crosses Custer Road. Frisco's got some pretty ones just outside Zion Cemetery. For those making it a day-long adventure, farther out of the Metroplex, there are patches at the entrance to Mallard Park in Lavon (about 30 miles north of McKinney) and fields of wildflowers off Highway 75 in Denison and Sherman, spotters say. Practical considerationsBefore you head out on a country drive, remember we are living in a world without pit stops at roadside Whataburgers. Plan snacks, drinks, and potential restroom situations accordingly. Also, remember the "groups" rule. If you approach a pretty patch and another family is taking photos, ride on by. Some regular guidelines to keep in mind, too: Don't trespass on private property. Don't pick the flowers. Step gently so you don't squish them, and don't leave anything behind. Also, beware of snakes, fire ants, and other critters that might be hiding among the flowers. Wildflowers from the comfort of your couchCan’t get outside? Enjoy a virtual tour of what’s blooming around the state on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Flickr page, populated with wildflower sightings from state parks and wildlife management areas, or its Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts, where anyone can share photos of the great outdoors. Proska says the INaturalist app will allow you to see what’s in bloom in different regions around the Metroplex. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin also posts sightings on a curated Instagram account, @texaswildflowerwatch (#txwildflowers2020) and has a narrated virtual tour of the Center. --- Melissa Gaskill contributed to this report.

The Weirdest Things Stolen From Dallas Restaurants

I guess whoever took it liked the look.” — Gabriel DeLeon, Managing Partner and Executive Chef at Mi Dia From Scratch, Plano “We had to chain our Pizza Crack to the wall at one point because the shakers full of it were getting stolen so much. Also, during remodel someone tried to steal a toilet that was sitting out in our hallway.” — Sammy Mandell, Co-Owner of Greenville Avenue Pizza Company “Weirdest thing was 60 pounds of ground beef. Worst thing was personal signed picture from John Travolta.” — Jason Boso, Owner Twisted Root Burger Co. and Truck Yard “At Jasper’s Plano, I had guests stealing river rocks out of the ladies’ room sinks, soap dispensers from the men’s room, and one lady took the entire vase off Table 12 with the flowers. At Abacus, glass rocks out of the display at the circle drive that is illuminated. This guy took three and jumped into his Yukon and drove off after he got his car from the valet. At Blue Plate someone stole two of the seat cushions from the chairs on the front patio.” — Kent Rathbun, Restaurateur “A member of a well-known band in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame once stole a Mexican piggy bank off of a table at Smoke Dallas when they dined there.” — Chris Jeffers, Creative Director/Partner of Turn The Tables Hospitality Group We’ve caught people stealing firewood from inside our smokehouse and even whole briskets right off the pit. “Here in Cook Hall there has only been small things like silverware, salt and pepper grinders, and glassware. But in one of my other properties I had things like décor taken because I wouldn’t sell it.” — Johnny Sanchez, General Manager at Cook Hall “We had a painting stolen out of the men’s room at Bijoux. Who does that? How did they take it out? It happened during service. It was there when we started and gone by 9 p.m., towards the end of the dinner rush. We also had a votive stolen. I called the guest to let them know that unfortunately we did not put the item on their bill. I did not tell them we had the whole thing on video. I gave them two choices: the walk of shame to pay for it or the walk of shame to give it back. Otherwise I would pass it on to the authorities. They tried to purchase a gift certificate for twice the amount so they would not have to come in. I told them that we did not want anything that was not ours, so overpayment was not an option or a gift card, and that I needed a signature on the credit card. They came in and paid for the votive after about 10 phone calls trying to get out of the embarrassment of the whole thing.”— Scott Gottlich, Chef and Restaurant Owner “We had a lady come in and I watched her put two electronic candles, used as décor in the restaurant, in her purse at about $35 a pop. We added the cost to her bill and received a call from her a couple of weeks later complaining about the additional charge. After she threatened to sue for the charge, I mentioned we had taped footage of her stealing the candles. She hung up immediately. We’ve also had people steal the salt and pepper holders right off the table, bottles of wine, and even artwork off the walls of the bathroom.” — Tony Street, Owner and Chef  Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse “I guess the weirdest thing stolen would have to be the framed sign that replaced previously stolen ar... (D Magazine)

Man injured in Garland tornado has died, bringing storm's death count to 12

A spokeswoman for the family said online that Mota “passed away peacefully” at Medical Center of Plano after he was taken off life support Friday night. His wife, Maria, and other relatives were at his side when he died. “That was a painful and hard decision for Maria to make,” wrote the spokeswoman, Teresa Wisdom. “Leo did not suffer, the hospital cared and treated him with compassion and dignity and extended that to the family as well.” Mota’s family and friends could not be reached for comment, but dozens of people posted condolences and shared memories online. “He was just really a special person,” Ball said. “He worked day and night, and when I heard he was leaving Rockwall [that night] … it didn’t surprise me. That’s just how he was, he worked late and every day of the week.” She said all that work was for his family. “He adored his children,” she said. “He was so proud of his family and he loved his kids, and that’s what we admired most. He was just a family man.” She said the flowers in front of her home were beautiful reminders of her friend. “I went out there today and just looked at the flowers,” she said.
