WOW! What a surprise!!!


Hello everyone,
Made a trip down to Rockport this Saturday afternoon to check on the property at Sunset Bay and I am happy to say we have received some decent rain this past week. The area is now greening up and the pond in the common area is almost full.

Me and the family got out and were walking around our lot and had the biggest SURPRISE. We found a Texas Horned Lizard or what we usually call a "Horny Toad" here in Texas I could not believe it...I have not seen any of these critters since I was a kid in the first grade in Fort Stockton, Texas. Boy...I got pretty excited and told my daughter Tara that I know many adults that have never seen one of these in the wild. I ran and got my camera and took a few pictures of the guy before he ran off into a nearby bush. See the picture at top of this post.

We also saw a lot more jackrabbits out browsing around. We really enjoy watching them.

We are making progress on acquiring the community pier permit. The Corps of Engineers have approved the resolution from the developer on correcting the front drainage ditch easement and we are in the process of lining up some contractors to bid out the work on the drainage easement. Once the restoration work is complete on the drainage easement, it is to be inspected by the Corps of Engineers (COE). Once approved the COE will issue a letter of approval for the community pier permit. I will be posting updates on the blog regarding this item to keep everyone informed.
