You see a lot of strange things in Texas. A house covered in beer cans. Cadillacs buried halfway in the sand. World's largest killer bee statue. Old boots decorating fenceposts.
That last one is in our neck of the woods near the river house. South of Hunt, you'll find boot fence. I have a small painting on my bluebonnet wall that depicts this. Searching for how boot fence got started, I located a Q&A column published several years ago in Texas Monthly magazine that discusses it.
We've got Crider's Rodeo on our to-do list. Maybe not this summer because it's already circle-of-hell hot here. Hopefully next year while the temps are more moderate. Who knows... if we keep the river house for a while, we may be adding a boot or two to the collection.
