September 26, 2013. Harper, Texas. Neighbors.

They moved in over a year ago and immediately started bulldozing the cedar trees.   Wow.  What a good idea we said to each other.  These new neighbors must be energetic.

The next time we came to the ranch we went over to say hello and welcome.  Of course, they had already been there several months before we appeared but they were happy to see us.  And they came to tea.   We discovered that they were the perfect folks to buy the adjacent ranch.  He was a retired contractor from Corpus Christie and he brought big equipment.

Their son and daughter in law and their children have moved here too.  The parents made an apartment at the end of the large shed, complete with a covered patio, and gave the house to the kids.

The reason we have noticed recently is that he is digging a big hole.   He told us he was going to build a tank, which would be a pond in Pennsylvania.  Actually, he said he plans to build three tanks.   Again, we were delighted because if he can get the land to hold water, perhaps we will build one too.

We love to see action, right in front of our eyes, at least when you look with the binoculars.
