West Texas Home !

[Red Oak]

Thanks LL - I do too.

I am in the giddy phase right now, when the back breaking labor starts I may not be so giddy !

[millergrovesue]

Nothing like a lot of hard work and sweat to kill giddy.

Hope you have a better retirement than Terry Dorsey.

Nice looking place Red Oak.

How far to the grocery store or liquor store?

[Red Oak]

Small grocery 10 miles away, major store 50 miles; still is about 15 steps back in the shinnery

[Red Oak]

More photos, to bore you with.

It lovely, Red Oak. I know you'll really enjoy it there.

Clouds are really special in that part of the world.

I bet you'll have lightning bugs in the Summer. I haven't seen one in 20 years.

[Red Oak]

I hope so Bill, I have seen a few around the compound, but not many.

In the town ten miles away or so I saw a Jackrabbit hopping across 2nd street in the middle of the afternoon.

Nice picture. Would like to see more in a few more weeks when it starts getting green.

[Red Oak]

I will keep y'all updated.

It is never real green, other than maybe a wheat patch.

Think of all the time and money I will save on yard work !

Would the name of the closest town be too dang nosy? Drove the road from here to turkey and back lots of times, that part of the brazos river bottom is great, a big rain just fills the holes and leaves the land pretty much alone. With a little work, enough river water to grow a heck of a garden.
