One of the benefits of living in the middle of nowhere!

While the big city (Houston) is only an hour or so away, we still live in the country, y'all!

One of the benefits, aside from being able to walk around the yard in a robe with little chances of anyone seeing you, is that we are surrounded by wildlife! The flower beds around our house always attract butterflies and hummingbirds, the birds are tweeting (they did the whole tweet thing before it was so cool!), and everyone once and a while we get to see something like this!

This deer stood in right by the road for a few minutes while we got to appreciate it. Then it went back in to the brush from where it came. It it always a joy to take a little drive around the ranch just to see what we can find. I am pretty sure that El Chupacabra lurks in the shadows or a white walker (Game of Thrones is almost here!), but until they grab us and take us to their lair, we will keep driving around on little nature drives.
