Greetings Les! As I think I said before, that looks like a great place to live. Beautiful scenery and photography! You do a darned good job with your photo work. Getting ready for another Texas Weather Wonder. Tomorrow the high is supposed to be in the low 30's with gusts around 40 mph. Of course today I am running around in cut offs and a t shirt. Go figger.
