If you are from Texas, you can appreciate the beauty of the desolate landscape. It's all about the big sky. Texas is so large it is very diverse. From the coast on the Gulf of Mexico to the mountains along the Rio Grande River on the Mexican boarder, the sky is always big.
This photo was taken at what we call "the farm" even though no one has farmed it for over 60 years. My husband is the 4th generation to own this land and we lease it to a rancher who runs cattle on it sometimes. We used to spend time fishing and picnicking on it but it's very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter.
My husbands great grandfather owned this land and divided it up among all his children. The others sold theirs but John Pike kept his and tried to farm the rocky soil. There are great stories of Indians, Jesse James and oil speculators. They never found any oil. My mother-in-law was born on "the farm." The house was moved to town in the 50"s so the only buildings are the old barn and the new barn. The new barn is about 100 years old.
This is a picture of my husband and youngest daughter. We are all very proud of our ownership of this land. You know what they say - Land, they aren't making any more of it.
