Very nice. I miss that country down there. I was working on a ranch from 2010-2012. Left in Feb. right before you moved down there. I have driven all across Texas my whole life and really didn't like that area much. You have to live there to really appreciate it. Everything either bites, punctures or stings you down there.

But for every rattler there is an indigo.

Nice! Greener than I expected, too.

Congratulations on your beautiful life!

We are about to build a fire pit like that. Question: why three blocks high instead of two?
