Western Texas


















Flat horizons that go on forever
Hundreds of roads cross the land
Passing by oil wells, quiet windmills
Ranches, farms and abandoned towns
That tell stories of the oil boom days 
Cowboys and trucks are everywhere



















Live oak trees that don't lose their leaves
Cactus, mesquite and pecan trees, 
Raccoons, opossums, deer and goats
Share the range with long horn steers
An occasional road runner rushes by
This state has it all, only Alaska is bigger



















We are in Texas, the long star state
Birthplace and home of my husband
Welcome back ya all, and stay awhile.
