A Visit To The Watts Ranch

This past week we drove out to West Texas to Sharon (Linda's sister) and Maxie's ranch near Iraan, TX. The ranch covers about six sections and they are building a hunting cabin that we are helping with. The daily work schedule is:
1. Ease up out of bed and ride the four-wheeler to check on deer and turkey feeders.

2. Work on the cabin a couple of hours, stop and eat breakfast.

3. Work on the cabin until Maxie declares recess and eat lunch.

4. Nap and/or read.

5. Ride the four wheeler to look at birds, deer, javelinas, and let JJ and Grover chase jack rabbits. JJ thought he nearly caught one until the Jack saw him when he got within about three feet away.

6. Happy hour followed by dinner.

Pretty rugged schedule, but we struggle to stick with it. (LOL)

On one of our rides we saw thousands of Monarch butterflies roosting in the trees at the bottom of a draw. It was an amazing sight. Here are a few pics we took.
