Beyond Barbecue in Llano

When we’re hungry, but not in the mood for ‘cue in our favorite Hill Country town, we find a booth at Stonewall’s Pizza, Wings and Things on Llano’s courthouse square (101 W. Main). While there this past weekend, our group indulged in the fried-chicken salad (with honey-mustard dressing), cheeseburgers (delicious, doughy buns; served with battered fries), and a sausage-and-pepperoni pizza (wonderful crispy-but-chewy crust). We topped it off with Blue Bell Cotton Candy milkshakes! Yes, there are healthier items on the menu, including a turkey sandwich that my cousin swears by.
By the way: On the edge of town on Texas 29, I noticed what must be a new place that sells bottle trees (anyone been there?). The shop was closed when we passed by, but the displays of colorful glass radiating in the late-day sun had me rethinking my backyard landscape on the drive home.

    Thanks for your entry about the bottle tree display on Texas 29 East of Llano. I started making bottle trees about 7 months ago. They are very unique and have a very artistic design that displays colorful glass radiating in the sunshine.I just love the color it adds to the yard. Its so happy! I also make large Tin Lizards!! They’re wonderful on fences or garden areas. I can be reached at 361-553-9482.
