Blanco es bueno

Similar to the way Californians have ties to ski lodges and beach houses, most Texans have a ranch somewhere in the friends and family tree. An untold number are dedicated to hunting, but not this gorgeous stretch of ranch land on the Blanco River. This parcel is for peace and pleasure. The stair-stepped limestone ledges and shelves made for the perfect ascent into the warm, clear water. For shade we had Juniper, Oak, Mesquite, Cedar, Bald Cypress, Oak and Elm trees to thank. There were NO mosquitoes. I repeat NO mosquitoes -- and an actual breeze. I haven't felt a breeze since last May, so just sitting outside without sweating or swatting was a joy. Thanks P for sharing this little slice of heaven.
