Our big day has come and gone. The solar eclipse didn’t bring any masses of people to Richland Springs, but San Saba had a bustling day. Mill Pond Park was packed with visitors and the stores had plenty of business. We had a perfect day to watch the eclipse. At one point, I wondered if I should have sunscreen on since I was sitting out in the open. We were fortunate to have wonderful visitors to our beautiful community. I’m glad none of the visitors to Burnet showed up here. I hope everyone enjoyed their day and God’s awesome creation.
