This beautiful, very small, ranch was, at one time, on the edge of town.
It now has housing developments and business all around it.
It is a gorgeous place....
and when you are standing by the fence,
it makes you feel like you are in the country.
We have the added feature of TWO fences here.

I played in PHOTOSCAPE with this photo,
highlighting part of the beautiful PAINT horse
and his BLUE stock tank....
Besides their beautiful horses,
they have a few LONGHORN CATTLE
but this day they must have all been in the barn..
Thanks so much for stopping by...
I'm joining TEX for her
GOOD FENCES THURS.
Have a great weekend....

3 INGREDIENT PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
1 cup creamy OR crunchy peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
Mix all together, drop by teaspoon onto cookie sheet.
Make criss-cross pattern on top of ea cookie with fork dipped in sugar.
Bake 350 for 10 minutes.
Sprawl...glad that it didn't absorb the ranch and that it still exists...a little oasis in suburbia. Enjoy those cookies!
ReplyDeleteI love fences, too. Hmmm...but I'm afraid I love good food a whole lot more. Those cookies look great and I will share them with my niece who has to eat gluten free!
ReplyDeleteBJ, this is a pretty spread. Can you see it from your property?
ReplyDeleteThose cookies look really good. Don't think they are on my diet though. '-)
Eat one for me!
i do love that sweet place! thanks, bj!
ReplyDeleteI love the symmetry of those 4 pretty trees in your first picture ... like 4 little ladies standing in a reception line, almost.
ReplyDeleteGREAT fence pictures, bj. Love them all--xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI like the homemade, rustic look of the fence. The posts are weathered, different heights . . . I Like . . .
ReplyDeleteI like fences - wooden fences, stone walls, wire fences with interesting posts - there are lots of fences at Pondside!
ReplyDeleteI love your photo's! Fences are a favorite of mine too. May need to borrow that cookie recipe!
ReplyDeleteHi bj! I just love that fence with the real tree posts and barbed wire! It looks like a nice place to stroll with a few peanut butter cookies in hand! Linda
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how a simple barbed wire fence can be as enchanting to me as a picket one in the right setting. (It might be the name of the ranch. I'm such a sucker for names. They just make everything better.)
ReplyDeleteHave that same peanut butter cookie recipe and make them quite often using a sugar substitute. The ranch and fence pictures are great. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds for your fence post, the horses are beautiful. Thanks for sharing the cookie recipe, they look yummy! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteNice fence photos! I always like to see a roll of barbed wire on the post. And I think I'll skip the goat project. I'm getting lots of advice against it. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ranch and fences BJ. Do you live near Waco? Have you seen the new show on HGTV called Fixer Upper?
ReplyDeleteGreat fences and I just adore the cookie tie up too!
ReplyDeleteI think I could settle in there.
ReplyDeleteCool fence pics bj and thanks for visiting the Wildlife Watcher.
Cheers ... FAB.
i'm glad at least that little part hasn't been developed yet! yum, peanut butter cookies!
ReplyDeleteThis is how I imagine Texas, BJ. Big open fields with horses and cows and those cool ranch style fences. I'd love to visit one day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your nice comment yesterday. Those Beach Boys were working so fast they would have been a blur if I tried to snap a picture. I'm glad that hubby found a crew like this...they do everything. The following day they came back and cleared out the old ratty landscaping I had in front of the house. I had that planned as a BIG project this summer and was dreading it. How was I going to pull out two big old evergreen bushes? They had it done in an hour and now I'm ready to start planting!! I'm a happy gal!! :)
XO,
Jane
I love all the fences and horses. I took a note of the Cookie recipe as i think my grand children could make these.
ReplyDeletei noticed the fences, i love the rugged look, looks like it has been through some tough times & weather ... but i am wondering if i have all the items to make those cookies? YUM!! ( :
ReplyDeleteawww, for me it is always sad to see so much development around such a beautiful, natural spot!! Those cookies sound interesting and easy!!
ReplyDeleteI like the use of the natural sticks as fence posts. Neat!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! :-) I love ranches with pretty fences and pastures full of horses.
ReplyDeleteReally great photos, bj...looks like a beautiful day at the Lazy Rock Ranch!
ReplyDeleteI love fences too -especially if they are old and rustic! Have a great weekend, bj
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that little ranch is still there even in the midst of the businesses moving into their territory. It's beautiful and I love the fences and especially the Paint!
ReplyDeleteI've made that cookie recipe before and it's good. Very good! Enjoy!
Love, love, love the rural setting for your fencing choice this week bj!!
ReplyDeleteAnd cookies....
PEANUT Butter....
You'd better watch out, I just may be on your doorstep, lurking...and wanting hand outs.
BJ, you did good on your fences today. Love all the scenes. Lubbock is not so bad even with the dust storms.
ReplyDeleteit does look rather small
ReplyDeleteLove your fence photos, bj, and thanks for the easy peasy cookie recipe! xo
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty ranch! An oasis of cool, fresh country... Love the fences. I will have to try those cookies really soon!
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of fences bj ... great pictures.
ReplyDeleteYummy cookies ... need to try those.
Audrey Z. @ Timeless Treasures
Great photos! Love the Texas style!
ReplyDeletePas Those cookies are wonderful and so easy!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a bit of the country right in town like that. Loved the rolled up wire against the fence.
ReplyDeleteSo no flour in the cookies, that's weird. How do they stay together?
Oh how I love it! We have lots of big horse farms here in FL....and lots of houses, too! Enjoy your weekend! Remember....EAT CAKE! heehee! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteevery time I go "home" (NW Lousiana, NE Texas) I am amazed at how much more sprawl there is !
ReplyDeleteLove the rustic fence posts and barbed wire roll - that says 'country' to me! - Karen
ReplyDeleteGreat fences. Brings back memories. And makes me sad. We had a 10 acre little horse property. It's now McMansions. We boarded 10 horses. We were so busy we never had a chance to take any pics. I miss that place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and giving me a few fond memories.
Have a good weekend.
Sherry
