You have a very nice looking place Rick.

Thanks Robby! Patricia decided that the front, road facing, side of the ranch would "look like a park" so .... it is as requested.

When we bought this place, in 2006, we had a $1M crop of goat weed, etc. We've pretty much eliminated all the goat weed except along perimeter fence where seed blows in from neighbors.

Did you eliminate the goatweed by annual mowing or spraying?

Mowing multiple times per year. I have one pasture that, other than fence lines, has not had any herbicide applied. It's been an experiment that's worked very well.

That’s pretty. It does look like a park.

I love it! We do not have enough grass to ever get looking that awesome.

Took the wife, daughter, and two grandkids to Santa's Wonderland in College Station Saturday night. I was impressed. We did the horse and carriage ride which was by far the best thing to do. Over 8 million lights. I've driven by that place many times in the daytime during its offseason and never realized the extent of it. Neat place.

One of our traditions is a circle through Johnson City for the Blanco County courthouse lighting, Trail of Lights on Lake LBJ in Marble Falls (pie at Bluebonnet Cafe) and work in a stop at Cooper’s BBQ in Llano.

Thanks robbyr for the suggestion in BCS when we are over that way.

We did the Trail of Lights two years ago, then ate a fine meal overlooking the river.
