As my grandmother Ruth told me, Texas is a great place to live because it has such a big sky.
A hare-raising (sorry, had to!) storm came through Round Top one day during the Spring Show, and I was lucky enough to be able to watch it from the safety and comfort of the N°3 front porch. What a view.
These last three photos all captured the post-storm rainbow. Look carefully!

Crocheted cigarettes, live bunnies in gilded cages, ladies with antlers and all those kinds of surprises
The Library and Gallery are right along the road. Turn at Clutter & Excess, go about 300 yards and they’ll be on your left behind the gates. See if you can tell where I got my little white Scion stuck in the ditch before the gates were built!
Cross your fingers and hope to be invited to one of N°3’s casual private receptions for new favorite artists.
No one celebrates the arts like Donna.

As long as you’re in the country, why not get right up next to a goat?
It’s great fun to walk through a jolly barnful of noisy chickens and then bring home a colorful dozen of their fresh eggs. Especially if you’re going through a serious Toad-in-a-Hole phase. (questions? click here: recipe)
And it figures I’d meet this one on Valentine’s weekend… what a sweetheart of a face, literally.

Summer concerts, fall picnics, winter walks and springtime poetry.
It’s an absolutely shocking discovery in downtown Round Top, with grounds open to the public 24-7. When you get to the long white picket fence, turn!
The annual Summer Conservatory means that exceptional classical concerts are in season when antiques aren’t. Pop in on a Saturday afternoon for a chamber music performance in the Old Chapel. Or slip into the huge performance hall on a weekday and catch a jeans and t-shirts rehearsal of the full orchestra.
