Counting the days...

It's Easter Sunday and we are starting to count the days until we HIT THE ROAD!! We have been following the Big E rig and have been to 3 different locations since we started in October. I wrote about the first site on County Road 189 in my previous blog, but I wanted to add a little more. January is calving time in Texas and our herd of cattle grew while we were there. I enjoyed watching the little ones discover the world. Here are a few pics..

 

Our second location was closer to Karnes City on RT 99. Guess what... more cattle. But we also had several other visitors. These are sand hill cranes. The land owner told us they come and eat the oat grass that he plants for his cattle.

This billy goat named Buddy escaped from a nearby farm and spent the day mooching celery. He kept trying to go into the RV.... poor Sydney didn't know what to do. He was finally picked up by his owners. Did you ever try to get a billy goat in the back of a pick up truck? What a treat.

 

While we were at this site John had another birthday. While he was sleeping I put this sign in the window. Everyone coming in wished him a Happy Birthday. It was a few hours before he saw the sign and realized what was going on.

Our third site County Road 341, and where we currently are, is the furthest site from a town yet. We are 20 miles from the nearest town...Jourdanton... but we have neighbors. Our gate is right beside the gate of another oil company. What a treat..another female to talk to!!   AND....MORE CATTLE.

 

And a burro... he's sooooo cute!

 

Our original neighbors Tom and Joanie left yesterday and new ones Ross and Caroline arrived. They are from Idaho. John is anxious to talk to them about places to go and things to see in that area. 

I made an Easter Nest of eggs and candy for the rig guys. We had a catered dinner of rib eye steak and shrimp.....yum.

HAPPY EASTER ALL!!!!
