Lovely as the crickets/frogs/whatever are, they're loud enough to make other bumps in the night hard to pinpoint. Pretty sure I'm hearing more gunfire (but far away). Possibly a car coming down the road. Did I mention wild hogs? Apparently a big problem in Texas.
I stayed up late last night and Chuck was here early this morning to get a bag of dog food out of the feed shed and take some eggs. I'm tired but can't seem to make myself go to bed at night... there's so much going on. Like right now, deer grazing on the lawn by the trampoline.
Today was a trip to town to shop, drop off recycling, and pick up 50# bags of chicken scratch etc. at the feed store (that was fun). So much traffic! I must have passed 20 cars on the ranch roads into town and that's usually more like 5, on a busy day.
Mostly just sitting on the porch watching the sky and thinking. Definitely acclimating to both the heat and the solitude. Definitely also missing someone at home.
If you have an hour and a half to read the New Yorker article "America's Future Is Texas" it's a fascinating look at politics in this state.
Horses grazing under the post oaks (volume up for maximum effect).
