texas horse property specialist: Thanksgiving Leftovers Recipe Challenge! - 11/16/07 04:53 AM
With the holidays upon us, we're all sharing recipes for holiday goodies, planning our Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day dinners, and basically immersing ourselves in visions of sugarplums.
However, after that turkey is roasted and hit by the plague of locusts we call our best beloved family, we are faced with the leftovers.  What to do with leftover turkey to make it interesting to those same locusts who now are not all that sure they can look at turkey again in their lifetimes?  I have a couple of solutions that have become traditions in our family (no, not turkey hash), … (3 comments)

texas horse property specialist: Classic and Beautiful Central Texas Ranch - 10/26/07 05:25 AM

Step back into the peaceful days of yesteryear, but with modern conveniences.   Watch your longhorns and horses graze from the rocker on your front porch.  Make a Thanksgiving pecan pie from your homegrown pecans.  Go on a trail ride - this is a perfect horse property!
Charming 1923 home, barn, garage, and outbuildings on 95 +/1 beautiful Central Texas acres.  Secluded, but just a quick jump to a major road.  45 miles from the intersection of IH35 and Hwy 79 in Round Rock, an easy commute for a home in the country or a weekend retreat.

texas horse property specialist: The Ever-Changing Central Texas Landscape - 10/01/07 01:20 AM
One thing I love about Central Texas is that if you don't like a particular topography or climate, you can just drive 50 miles in any given direction and find one of the five or six very different faces of Texas - hill country, blackland prairie, piney woods, Highland Lakes, all within an easy drive.  No need to be stuck with just one! 
However, there's another way the Central Texas landscape is ever-changing - from one day to the next, even one hour to the next, a light morning fog hovering just over our front pasture. 
If you look closely, just … (9 comments)

texas horse property specialist: Shine On, Shine On, Harvest Moon - 09/26/07 01:35 PM
On the way in from tucking in the chickens this evening, this is what I saw.  Well, close - photos can't seem to capture the beauty or the color or the enormous size of the harvest moon rising - just imagine this moon about four times this size and a lovely rose red tinged with gold. 
One more reason to live in the country.  Moons never seem so big in the city.

texas horse property specialist: 75 Years Old and Still Dancing! - 09/25/07 05:27 AM
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the St. Elias Mediterranean Festival, put on every year in downtown Austin by St. Elias Greek Orthodox Church.  The block is closed off to traffic, and for two nights every October, there is Mediterranean food, booths, singing, and dancing, both professional and amateur. 
Traditionally the 2nd weekend in October, this year it will be held on October 5th & 6th, the first weekend, so if you marked your calendar last year, be sure to change it. 
This is one of those Austin traditions you must experience, and if you go once, you'll surely go again.  If you haven't … (2 comments)

texas horse property specialist: Joys of Country Living - 09/22/07 01:51 PM
A couple of days ago, we experienced one of the joys of living on a country property.  This happens once a year or so, and it always reminds me why we moved out here and why we stay - it's just one example of the things we'd never experience living in the city. 
Dot, current herd matriarch and daughter of Roselind, one of our first two Murrey Grey cows, surprised us with a bull calf late one afternoon.  We did not know that she was expecting (cows can be very reticient about disclosing that fact), though we had begun to suspect because … (14 comments)

texas horse property specialist: Riders In The Storm - Emergency Stabling Info - 08/18/07 05:17 AM
For those of you down along the Texas coast who have horses or other livestock, one of the primary concerns during this time of year, particularly when something like Dean is bearing down and it's not yet quite sure where he's going to land or what impact he might have on your area, is, if you have to evacuate, where on earth you're going to take your animals
The Horse Gazette has information on places in various parts of the country that have housing available for situations like this.  You might want to bookmark this for future reference, even if you're not in … (2 comments)
