Nature:
Hiking or taking a walk on the property is a must. Attention, you could even get lost (for a while). Many butterflies, owls, turkeys, cardinals and many many more. You’ll see vultures glide above the house in the late mornings, many small birds, raccoons. Depending on the season you can hear coyotes howl or bark at night, whitetail dear, bobcats, armardillos, very cute they’ll come right up to the porch digging for roots. Possums (many visits to the porch lately documented), skunks, ringtails, squirrels and sometimes a fairly tame rabbit. Roadrunners, wild pigs near the westfork river which is fairly close but not on our property, and the hummingbirds. Breathtaking wildflowers in April/May that cover everything and at the same time the cactus bloom.
