TEXAS

I'm a Texas ex-pat, made a wrong right turn one day and ended up on South Carolina. Still not sure how that happened 9 years ago....

If I could uproot this little chunk of land I'd plant it west of Austin. :)
 
Hi, just joined up. We live east of Van Alstyne, TX, in an unincorporated township called Cannon. If you do one of the map functions (mapquest, etc.) for Cannon, TX, you get our next door neighbor.

We have chickens, so I joined BYC maybe a year ago. Several months ago, maybe February?, we bought two bucklings (?) at the Bonham Trade Days, and brought them home. We knew nothing, fortunately they were pretty hardy. They are very small. Nubian? Pygmy? Daughter who is responsible for them coming to us (Please, Ma? Please?) named them Matthew and Mark. So they are Maddie and Markie, of course. Cute as they can be and purely pets as we have 12 acres but no does.

Anyway, already having a very nice time here--cannot wait to cough at the boys when they buck at us the next time!

I'm in-between a bunch of y'all. Canton and Corsicana and Alvaredo are all within driving distance and I get by all of them sometimes. Sulphur Springs is where I went to pick up my llamas. My town barely has a name and population of humans is ... Less than that of cows, I'm sure. :)

Enjoying it here, but the weather sure is weird this year. Still windy and coolish at times, and here it is almost June!

Looking for a big feed mill, but I can find most of the supplies I need. Took a lot of calls the other day to find someone with leg bands for geese though, and I sure need some day-old BR pullets for a broody I want to pull off her nest.
 
Evant TX. North of Lampasas, west of Gatesville. Nothing more than a map dot!
 
I'm in Comfort, Texas. West of Kerrville in Kendall County, Slightly North and East of San Antonio.. Lots of rocks here. Quite a few cactus. Not much else. I'm told it's called the "hill country". Yep there are hills here.

When it rains, the hills come running down the hill and march right into the barn.

I moved here from Washington State in September 2011. It's called Washington because that's what happens there a lot. It rains nonstop. (160 days and nights last year.) Washes everything clean and leaves moss in it's place. BTW, Noah had only 40 days and nights of rain and he built an Ark and sailed away. So I got in my pickup and came here.

I brought some rain with me but apparently not enough. I guess I should have built an ark.

I just came on the BYH forum today. I live in Quinlan, TX - northeast of Dallas.
