Navigating Art & Life
We have been trying to experience and explore Texas every chance we get. We hit up the famous First Monday Trade Days in Canton Texas and while that was a whole story in and of itself it was what we saw on the highway that stuck with me most. This is something I can promise you wouldn’t see in the north.
Texas skies are as big and wide as Montana’s without the snow. They never disappoint.
We visited the Fort Worth Stock Yards & Rodeo! Yes, it is touristy, but it is distinctively Texan. Believe it or not there are rodeo’s in Minnesota tucked in between the waterskiing and ice-fishing. But they just can’t compare to the energy and patriotism that is present at the Stockyards rodeo. When Texans stand for the flag, they mean it. It isn’t just something you do because it’s what is done, you can sense the pride and respect for the country and state. I love it here. These are my people.
It’s move in day! Check out the welcome committee.
I’m just not sure what to make of this little discovery. It is the first southern delicacy that we’ve run into. I’m guessing that the chicken paws are the southern answer to the northerner’s pickled herring.
