Greetings @Ashley Marshall from the front range in Colorado. Welcome to BYH. Glad you joined us. We have a good group of TX folks here. I'm sure you'll meet a few more of them over time. Good luck with your soon to have goats and pigs. Share some pics when you get them if you will... We all live for pics here.

East Texas - Near Sulphur Springs
I'm near Sulphur Springs, only way out in the country. 'Bout 3 miles, as the crow flies, from Pickton.

We got almost 5 inches in the past 2 days, a total of over 18" for the year, so far. But, our 5" is probably not even half of what y'all got down your way, @frustratedearthmother! :ep our news is saying anywhere between 16-20" in the Houston area. How much did you get?

We were pretty lucky too... We're 'only' at 8 inches for the month - almost 18 for the year. Monday we got almost 6 inches at work, but where I live about 10 miles south, we only got a bit over 3...and another inch today. S'posed to get more tomorrow - Yay - NOT!

I spent a little bit of time today looking into how to build a retaining pond and/or a rain garden, lol.

Im new to the site, but it's a great site. I am not in Texas, but in South East OK only about 45 miles north of the Texas border, so our closest big town in Sherman.

We run commercial beef cattle, meat sheep, raise & train & show QHs, train & trial working border collies and raise and show some little pot licker dogs too. ;)

Anyone close by??
How close are you to Paris? I'll be there the end of the month. I'd love to have some help working with my BC, and get another to go with her.

My mother-in-law lives North of Paris, near Tigertown.

Familiar with the area too. M-I-L lives out 79 between Sumner and Direct--NW of Paris about 18 -20 miles. Little community called Georgia--down the Tigertown turnoff.

Where are you now? Why are you moving to Paris? I am north of Tyler in Lindale. I love east Texas! Welcome to Texas! We will have to meet up, along with @Devonviolet, she lives about 45 minutes from us.
