Dark clouds covered the expansive Texas sky. I could smell and taste rain in the air. It was coming, but I was sure it was still a day away.
The day started with a trip to the food pantry. We were looking for a few food items at the Stripes gas station. Our fresh fruit and vegetable donations were beginning to run dry; my high calorie intake was probably the culprit. Crystal informed a lady named Michelle that the store had run out of eggs. They got to talking and she happened to be a county commissioner. She said the judge would probably give her the key to the food pantry so that we could get some items to tie us over. The next real city with a selection was still 120 miles away. Thank goodness for small town hospitality.

The warm temperature struck me as odd...

Changing time zones, changing temperature, set the clock back for fall daylight savings. Which way is up? Adaptation has been the key to staying sane. We adjusted to the heat. Apparently we will have to adjust to the cold and the wind.

The breakfast must have taken all morning to prepare. My lazy body crawled into the dining room. I had slept a good nine hours and my body wanted more. It wasn’t until the food appeared that my body decided to wake from a zombie like state. Two egg frittatas were available for breakfast. One was made with portabella mushroom and spinach, the other was made with potatoes and cheese. We had a wonderful focaccia bread to go with the eggs...

The festivities of Halloween kept me up a little later than I had planned. A hot bonfire, in the center of the patio at the Burro, toasted my body while Noble and Alaine introduced us to some of the locals. Crystal made some new friends by giving away some of our stickers. We moved from conversation to conversation until Crystal reminded me I still had to run the next day. And just like that we were strolling back to Eve’s Garden B&B under the moon and stars. The king size bed in the Saphire room was so comfortable. It cradled me like a baby. The sheets were the softest we had slept on yet. With the tiny heater providing us warmth, we were out within minutes.

We woke up to the scent of pecans...
