Paradise in Texas.

We finally got a house bought so we are now residents of the state of East Texas. I say finally but I guess it only took a month. So any ways, here is a purty pink rose that is blooming next to our driveway welcoming us to our new home:

Our new house looks pretty good on the outside. The interior isn't quite finished and the floor plan is terrible so there will be plenty to keep me busy for a while. I can't wait to bash in a few walls and sling some mud on some new ones.

The other side of the house has a nice big deck and a hot tub. A HOT TUB????????? Don't ask me what that's for. I told Crystal maybe it was for holding bait minnows, complete with a aeration system.

This is the well house where I spent most of the day yesterday trying to revive the well. The water looks likes some nice tasty lemon iced tea, but it sure doesn't smell like it. One guy told me I could have it tested but I don't really think that's necessary. I think I'm about ready to give up and call the public water guys.

Oh, this is another angle of the house that shows the trees a little better. There is about three acres that is open like this and the rest of the property is jungle/marsh. I really like the jungle and Crystal likes the cleared area so I think we both got what we wanted.

This is shot of the spring that has a nice trickle of water running through it. Every time I go over to it there is a frog sitting in the grass in the same spot and he knows just when to squeak and jump in the pond to make me jump.

This is another small beaver dam. Hopefully we can clean them up where you will be able to see them from the house.

Here we are turning off the highway onto our driveway. What a wondiferous feeling that was.

And my beautiful wife finally getting to mow some real grass after living in Laramie. I'm not too sure this tractor is going to be up to all the mowing that needs done around here.

I guess that's all the pictures for this time. We forgot to take a camera with us on our little excursion into the jungle to try and locate the corners of the property so we didn't get a picture of the water moccasin (cottonmouth) that I killed.

Y'all come back now, Ya hear?
