Cleaning Up After Hurricane Beryl, July 2024

We found ourselves in the eye of Hurricane Beryl early on the morning of July 8th. Like many in the Houston area, we are cleaning up from flooding, property damage, downed trees, and loss of power. Thankfully, everyone at the ranch is unhurt and healthy (including the four-legged residents)! We pray that all of you are well, too!
