Another bloody winery?

 We finally crossed over the state line of Texas.  We knew we were in Texas as we passed cattle after cattle, and a sign announcing a wild hog hunt!  Texas is big.  Everything they do is big.  Even the state map is the size of four regular state maps.  We pass massive cattle estates all along the first 3-4 hours and I have never seen so many cattle roaming on land.  Texas has the most cattle of any state in the US, accounting for 14% in 2021.  There were so many types of cattle.....Angus, Brahman, brown ones, cream-colored ones, spotted ones, and even Longhorn.

So, driving down the one lane highways, we can’t believe the speed limit is on the average 75 mph, and even came along an 80 mph on a two lane highway. Yikes!

Today, we pass through Dallas and Fort Worth and the roads are congested.  Later, we head further west and our town for the night is Granbury, Texas. We stay at another Harvest Host, Barking Rocks Winery.  The winery is set out in the countryside and it is beautiful and peaceful here. The owner, Tiberia, a transplanted Italian,  greeted us with his dog. After a tour of the winery tasting room and side room with denijohns filled with wine, we settled on a bottle of his wine and walked around the property. 

Before we left the next morning, Tiberia stopped by and joined us for a cup of coffee and sent us off with where to find an amazing bakery.....

So delicious......
