Years ago I had a 106 year old tell me about coming to deep south Texas as a young woman. She said among other things, “Everything had thorns.” It is true many of the plants here have thorns and some land is still brush country.

Being here reminds me of my book George Weaver Recollections of an Old Cowboy. In that work of fiction, when George was young he left home in Oregon to find work as a cowboy on a Texas ranch in the late 1800’s. The entertaining stories he tells…! Find George on Amazon.
