Catherine gazed at the watermelon field that grew at the front of her papa’s ranch.
The house sat on a hill about half a mile from the main road into town. The barn, chicken coops, horse stables, and pens for cattle, sheep, and goats were behind the house. The houses of the Mexican workers were near the fields where the vegetable garden and grazing lands were. Deer, jackrabbits, armadillos, rattlesnakes, and coyotes were among the mesquite, oak, and pecan trees and prickly pear cactus that spotted the wilds behind the cultivated land. The grasses mirrored a heat-tempered green. In the early spring, Texas wildflowers sprang forth with an abundance of color.
