Why I Love Spicewood

The things I love about Spicewood are many, ranging from the general friendliness of the people who have either grown up here or made it their home after escaping from "city life." A few things, however, stand out, and prompted me to post this blog.

The vortex of a trail near my house that pulls me in and doesn't let me stop pursuing the end of it.

No sound but the chirp of crickets on my 20 minute walk on a public road at 8 p.m. last night.

Autos picking up children at the only elementary school in this small "post office" town ranging from a new Cadillac Escalade to a Diesel fuel truck. Eighteen wheelers and tall wheeled "show cars" have been seen in the car pick-up line as well.

The star-filled sky every clear night.

There are many more, but family life is calling. I must mention a few I don't like ... the slow internet service next to the lake or the abundance of small rodents for our cat to enjoy, blood and all, on the front porch.
