Up around San Angelo on Hwy 87 they are still harvesting cotton...I managed a few photos as we were leaving...
Texas snow (cotton) spread out in a field...
I stopped at a picnic spot to read the signs...very interesting and very thoughtful. I will always remember this as I drive Hwy 83 through-out Texas...
The sign reads:
In
gratitude to the thousands of Men and Women who served our country during the
Vietnam War, the people of Texas dedicate this highway which runs across our
state from the Southernmost tip to the Northernmost point. It is our hope that
all those who travel US 83 will pause to remember those who gave up their lives
or their youth or their hopes in that long and bitter conflict. We vow not to
forget those who did not return to us and we pledge to remember the sacrifices
of those who have come home.

Some more Autumn colors...
and another marker...I'm learning so much and love it!
Some seven million head of cattle & horses went up the
Great Western Trail from 1874 to 1893 from Mexico through nine U.S. states into
Canada with the major years being 1874 to 1886. This trail lasted more years,
carried more cattle, and was longer than any other cattle trail originating in
Texas...

A beautiful trip home indeed!
Autumn is reaching an end to open up the coldest season in the year, and I hate it!
Glad you enjoyed thanksgiving, always a great family moment!
Cheers Wendy!
I hear you Noushka, I am not too fond of winter either. Everything seems dead too. I love green, green, green and spring, spring, spring when the colors are bursting!
