Life and times on a small ranch in the Norse Historic District, Bosque County Texas.
Twisted Oak Ranch
Zulu
Welcome
This blog is more of a JOURNAL of activities, chores, and observations of life here at the Ranch. As a journal I can compare things from year to year such as rainfall, plants, wildlife and livestock. If it seems that I am making notes to myself, well I guess I am. Although I don't list things of a personal nature, family and friends are welcome to see what we're doing out on the Ranch.
