Cuero, Texas

We recently visited Cuero, the largest town in DeWitt County on the Gulf Coast Plain in South Central Texas. DeWitt County boasts the title of Wildflower Capital of Texas, boasting over 1,000 species of wildflowers. As you can see from the photos, the wildflowers are incredible!! Cuero pioneered the turkey raising industry in south central Texas for years and during the annual turkeyfest, flocks of turkeys were driven on foot through the streets to market. The town also hosts the Great Gobbler Gallop which is an annual race between two prize turkeys, one from Minnesota and one from Cuero.

New Edition

We've now made our third rescue of one of God's creatures (hopefully this will be the last) ... Abby was our first in Mexico; next is a puppy for my friend Chris and finally this 15 week old puppy, Coda, just home from some surgery to drain fluid from his elbows - the result of 7 weeks in a crate. He looks pretty happy to have a home, Abby's not so sure!!

Muddy Rain

When we heard the forecast for "muddy rain" overnight we laughed. We weren't laughing in the morning when everything, and I mean everything looked like it had been sprayed with chocolate milk!!! It took us 4 hours to wash truck, chairs, patio mat, bbq and mostly the entire 5th wheel!!

Babies, Babies Everywhere!!

Spring has definitely sprung in Texas, everywhere you look there are babies - calves, lambs, foals, kids, puppies, kittens, armadillos. This little guy was born right here at River Bend Park and we're expecting another anytime!! The grass is green, blossoms on the trees and lots of little green leaves. The first batch of wildflowers have finished and the next wave getting ready.

Can't believe we'll be on the road again in less than a month and it's still snowing at home !!!!! We have to be in Indianna in early April, hope they have an early spring.

San Antonio Botanical Gardens

Our latest excursion was to the botanical gardens. The rose garden and wisteria arbor were not in bloom, but for February, it was still impressive. The orchid display was awesome!!

The old carriage house has been converted to a cafe and used the old stalls to make the entrance and booths, neat!!

Pictures say it all ....

Can you remember doing this????

Our granddaughter, Sienna, is certainly flexible. For those of who can hardly reach past our knees ...
