Hi there! – I live at Klement’s Grove located between
Mission and McAllen. Yes, most llamas have brown eyes but she has blue eyes.
Saw the above llamas as this ancient Allis Chalmers
tractor (last ones were manufactured in 1985) pulled our hay rack through
orange and grapefruit orchards. So, so thrilled to see Texas longhorn cattle during our visit.
Growing within Klement’s Grove are: marrs oranges (exclusive to Texas); pineapple oranges (hint of pineapple flavor; also very seedy); and red grapefruit (the official state fruit).
I happily packed a variety into my 10 pound bag to enjoy in 888.
Pygmy goats and donkeys were also present.
The cross-shaped marking present on this donkeys' back and shoulders is said to celebrate the animal bearing Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. A very interesting and informative morning was spent at Klement's Grove.

Vendors lined Jackson Street with a huge variety of
clothing, jewelry, food, hardware, plants, lawn decorations, dishes, etc. Didn’t get a chance to visit some of
Harlingen’s regular shops such as “Hand of Man Stained Glass Studio.” Perhaps
I’ll get a chance if I attend the Harlingen and San Benito “ShopHop” later in
January.
