Nothing Quite Like

 waking up to a gorgeous sunrise over the Chisos Mountains with your wife and daughter sleeping next to you! Except maybe, the fancy talking you did to convince them to sleep outside!

Twenty two years- ago but it seems like this morning!

New Neighbors

 

We have a pair of grey fox we have been seeing in our yard this spring. I think they may have dug a burrow under our woodpile and have a litter of kits in there! Renee' refuses to reach in and try to pull some of them out. I just dont get her sometimes? A few years ago we saw a show on Alaska where a man sent his wife into a bears den to kill one because they had run out of food. His logic was sound, he might get stuck in the hole! Renee' points out we've never eaten a fox. What kind of reasoming is that? 

And yes chickens are that big in Texas! She did take the picture though, I'm not going outside with all that wildlife!

 While the environs on the borders of the BBNP are certainly developed ridicously now ( a stretch limosine rental company, Family Dollar, hundreds of yurts, tents, bubbles- you name it for rent, and even an attempt at a vineyard???? ) the beauty , majesty, and glorious peace still holds!
