Snow accumulates on an Indian paintbrush (foreground) and bluebonnet wild flowers near the Texas A&M University System Agricultural Research and Extension Center at Stephenville over the Easter weekend.

For many parts of the state, good rains resulted in rapid forage growth and good grazing for livestock.
