Beeline for Texas

Ah, Texas. I loved Texas. Getting there was rough. It was flat in some places, and where it wasn't flat, it was flatter. 

Nebraska sunset:

Arrived in Texas to 73 degrees and sunshine, and green, flowy, wavy, soft, cushy grass. 

Ahh what an improvement to the 13 degrees we left behind!

Good morning from Houston, Texas!

We made our delivery to the Port of Galveston, went back to Houston for a little trailer repair, ate some lunch at Whataburger, and after we picked up the trailer, went and picked up a load of very large hay bales in a really beautiful part of Texas, and I failed to get pictures of it. I was too busy looking and trying to decide where I should build my house. It was green fields, lots of green. Fun looking trees everywhere, the kinds that grow in curves and have a little character. There were small ponds/watering holes all around, and creeks every which way. The driveways to the houses had those gates, with the cool rustic archway things, everything you'd picture a Texas ranch to be. I loved it and I was ready to buy a ranch, but my other half is a little less impulsive than me, so I am not pleased to announce that we are not ranch owners in Texas. Back to trucking, the real reason we're here...we picked up our hay to deliver to Stratford, Texas, which is in the panhandle. It was dark for part of the driving time, and another part I slept through..so these were all the pictures I got of NW Texas. 

We were delivering our hay bales to a feed yard in Stratford. Know what a feed yard is? It's where they fatten up all our yummy steaks...,I mean it's a place where they feed cows until they are fat and ready to move on to better things. :)

Smelled like home!

Acres and acres of cows, just getting fat. I felt kinda bad for them, but not bad enough to stop eating beef.

Whoa, Bessie.

I will eat you.

Them's the hay bales we unloaded.

 

That's all for Texas, it was a tearful goodbye, with alot of "I'll be back, I promises."
