I’ve been visiting the Arnosky blue barn since 2006 when my Aunt Bren first took us there while visiting Wimberley. She had moved to Wimberley to open up Kiss The Cook on the Wimberley square and has always been my connection to the fun things to do in that town. The blue barn quickly became...
If you aren’t a local then you would say Pedernales correctly. “Ped-er-nah-less” But the locals say it “Perd-nah-less”. I’m not quite sure why, but to blend in when we first moved to Dripping I struggled to say it the way the locals did. It just didn’t quite make any sense to me! Nonetheless, it is...
A few weeks ago I was invited to an event where we got to step back in time at the Buggy Barn Museum in Blanco, Texas, just a short 30 minute drive southwest from Dripping Springs. It’s located right off the road on HWY 281 north of Blanco, Texas. I’ve never even noticed it before,...
If you’ve ever driven through Fredericksburg, Texas in the Spring or Fall then you’ve probably seen Wildseed Farms on the north side of 290. It’s America’s largest working wildflower farm with over 200 acres of growing area in Fredericksburg and 1000 acres across Texas! Wildseed is open 7 days a week, year round and is...

This preserve is 76 acres right off of the Pedernales River and has been restored to its natural beauty since it was purchased in 1974. I had always heard of this beautiful place, but...
My husband and I are suckers for zoos and aquariums. Give us up close and personal nature and animals and we are sold!!! We were so delighted to have found the Johnson City Exotic Resort Zoo and Safari when we moved to this area a few years ago. You can hand feed over 500 different...
It’s supposed to be high 90s for the next week and that’s got me thinking about planning trips to all of my favorite TEXAS SWIMMING HOLES!!! I wanted to show you one of the best kept secrets in the Texas Hill Country… Krause Springs in Spicewood, Texas. Just a short 45 minute drive north of...
If you are visiting the Texas Hill Country or planning to move here then there are so many Texas State Parks within an hour radius to visit! Enchanted Rock has been on my list for the last two years, but it was always booked out when we checked into reserving it. It looked like we...
It’s no secret that Dripping Springs is known for its’ craft alcohol, wedding venues, small town feel and beautiful NATURE!!
