The small town of Uhland, Texas is just east of San Marcos Texas, on State Highway 21. I went through Uhland on the way to visit friends in San Marcos and noticed that the old downtown was one block west of SH 21.

Even more interesting was to see a new cedar wood mailbox among the older metal mailboxes on a sunny day with the boxes casting shadows on the brick wall. THE ORIGINAL OF THIS PAINTING IS AVAILABLE FRAMED AT THE PRICE SHOWN ABOVE.
Growing up in the small southwest Texas town of Uvalde gave me a real appreciation for the rural country life in the semi-arid southwest.

Our friends just moved not too far from Uhland in one of those new subdivisions. Oh well, I guess that's life. Eddie

Love the mailboxes, Eddie! The high school where I used to teach, Lehman HS, is not far from Uhland. I used to drive the back roads to Uhland to clear my mind. Lots of great scenery!
