Danke, liebe Dina. 🙂 Da muss ich noch oefters hin, zu unterschiedlichen Jahres- und Tageszeiten. Ist ja kein Problem, da die Ranch im Nachbarort [Stonewall] ist. Aber leider ist sie nur von 9 bis 5 fuer Besucher offen. Also ist es nix mit Sonnenauf- bzw. -untergang. 😦
As the saying goes, Texas has four seasons: winter, summer, summer, and … summer! 😀 But seriously: we do have spring and autumn, too, and both can be very nice, But they’re fairly short, because our summers are so long. And hot! The rainy months are, if I remember correctly, April and May. Snow? Not hereabouts, not even in the Texas Hill Country – at least not very much and rarely only. Last winter we had just 2 days of freezing, and a few nights. But that was a tad unusual.
As to „real“ winters: they – with blizzards even – are not uncommon in the Texas Panhandle.
Well, there are big skies in Texas, too. „Everything is bigger in Texas“, isn’t it? 😉
And yes, this was President Johnson’s Ranch [part of it], and now is a National Park. It’s one of my favourite places to go hereabouts.
I love the Lyndon B Johnson National Park and the State Park. I go there every now and then, just to feel LBJ’s spirit. When you’re there, you know why LBJ loved his Texas Hill Country so much. I also do the tours of the „Texas White House“ again and again. It’s always enlightening.
Very nice, dear Pit!

The Ranch is perfect for a day out – in every season.

Does it stay sunny for most of the year there? Or do you have a rainy season? Or snow?

Thanks for that info, Pit. Sounds good most of the year, as long as there’s enough water to keep things (plants and animals) alive.

Well, (lack of) water quite frequently is a problem here. Just now we’re lucky, though, as nearly all of Texas is out of drought conditions.

I know „Big Sky Country“ means Montana, but looks pretty big in Texas, too. Was this President Johnson’s ranch?

I didn’t know it was a park now, that’s great. Looks like beautiful country.
