A night at the ranch house is good therapy for anybody, especially in the fall of the year. The mornings are crisp and cool the afternoons are hot and windy. And the stars, all the stars, from horizon to horizon, you can spend hours just gazing at the heaven and pondering life. There are no trees, no buildings and no city lights to obscure the beautiful night sky.
From my travels I can tell you that most people don’t really understand how flat and open the Texas Panhandle really is. When Europeans first crossed this country their best description was that it was like being on a sea of grass. Below is a panoramic picture of the ranch. You can see for yourself how it looked before people and the plow came to the high plains. You can click on the picture for a lager view. The dots in the distance are cattle grazing.

It’s been a good year at the ranch for cats. Even with the abundant cat patrol we have had a few rattle snakes found around the ranch house.

A very unusual cat.
