Getting’ Grub in Granbury

Bluestem Grass and Purple Thistle

We’ve actually had rain in Texas this year so the roadsides and meadows were green rather than burnt brown as we trekked to Granbury for lunch on this mild fall day. The rain has also encouraged the profuse growth and blooming of purple thistle. While not a rancher’s dream, the fields of purple are a bright counterpoint to the lacy mesquite and dark green pecan trees that live in the area.

Acton, Texas is just inside the city limits of Granbury; a town within a town. This tiny town lays claim to the smallest state park in Texas. This park is within the Acton Cemetery
