The Dudley Files

The Daily Dudley - Texas Hill Country

Dudley loves spending his time in the Texas Hill Country with his human. This is where he gets all the inspiration to write The Dudley Files novels. Most of the time he sits out by the river with his human where they figure out ways not to get anything done. But when they do venture out, they’ll tell you all about it.

WHICH ROAD ARE YOU ON?

THIS IS MY ROAD. ARE YOU ON YOURS?

How many roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man. How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed to the sea. How many times must a man look up before he can see the sky. The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind, the answer is blowin' in the wind. This Bob Dylan … [Read more...]

YOU THINK YOU’RE OLD?

SO, YOU THINK YOU'RE OLD?

So, you think you're old? Well, you're probably not as old as a Century Plant. I like to think of it as the seasoned citizen of naturally growing plants in the Texas Hill Country. Also called the Flowering Aloe, the Spiked Aloe, the American Aloe, and Maguey (not to be confused with Mr. Maguey). It … [Read more...]
