Daybreak in the Hill Country


I am spending the Labor Day weekend out in the Hill Country near Mountain Home, at my favorite place on earth. I got here yesterday afternoon and had dinner at the fabulous Cowboy Steakhouse in Kerrville. Dinner was great, even though my friend (and restaurant owner) Lorrie Ferris was not there.

I went to sleep last night with a cloudy sky and a milky full moon trying to peek through the haze. This morning dawned slow and sweet, with the air cool and damp and a light haze over the hills in the distance. This was the view from the porch of my cabin.

Today's agenda: a hike with Xena, some reading and relaxing, and an hour or two spent in the swimming hole.
