Last week, hubby and I had our first vacation (that didn't involve moving) in two years. We headed to Fredericksburg, TX in the hill country. There are several wineries there & we did a little sampling. Here is the rental we stayed in. The shrub in front of hubby is sage, and to the right of that is a huge rosemary bush. It almost seems to grow wild there.
Fredericksburg is the kind of town where they roll up the sidewalks at 6 p.m. If you happen to be on horseback, you can still hitch your trusty steed to the curb:
Fans of "A Christmas Story" will recognize this beauty:
A lot of the older structures in Fredericksburg are made of limestone. Here is a beautiful barn, too pretty for critters.
We drove about 30 miles to Enchanted Rock, a big chuck of pink granite that's like an iceberg - way more below the surface than above.
Sure, we climbed it. We had a couple of Diet Cokes with us for hydration. That's me in the following pic, holding up that big rock:
Across from our rental there was a little herd of sheep. The first day we were there, they ran to the fence to greet us (after that, they found us boring). Hubby seemed to speak their language so I filmed it for posterity:
