Road work in the Blackberry Community is looking great! We are all excited for the road construction. The older generation passed on but always said they wouldn’t see better roads in their lifetime. I am glad I get to see it in my lifetime. I’m part of the fifth generation who grew up in this area and I am glad we are finally getting better roads. We praise God for it all.

Oenothera speciosa, evening primrose or buttercups, a Texas native, is seen in Southeast Texas fields, vacant lots and lawns from spring into summer. The Texas Department of Transportation, txdot. gov, sows seeds along highways. The four-petaled white to pink cup-shaped flowers are about 3 inches wide lined with pink or red veins. Their center, with 4-branched stigma, is yellow surrounded by white. The stem is usually 6 to 10 inches tall.
