Yesterday a hard storm that lasted on hour, dumped 1 1/2” of rain, lightning strikes too close for comfort. One knocked power out for a few hours. This morning, foggy and HOT. Read that as a steam bath.

Are you my new neighbor?

Monday night my DD and family came in. They left Tuesday morning for Missouri to visit friends. They left their 3 dogs for me to take care of. Panic ensued as Carson is terrified of the pug, Sammy, and growls menacingly at him. I put the 3 in the fenced front yard and Carson goes out the back...

Your daughter’s art work is amazing!

2024 list #15 go to Waco auction--it shut down, never made it there #20 I finally cleaned all the green alge off the end of the house and it's looking good #21 I partially burned the 5 huge piles and set my field on fire. I think that was in April. With standing water puddles in the field, it...

On my second cup of coffee, been sleeping later than usual lately. Grass is dripping wet with dew. I look at it and think about all the worm larva that's crawling up the leaves of the grass to infect the sheep. Well, that's where MY mind goes........ All the rain is making the grass grow, sheep...

How was Galveston? With all the rain we have been getting, a tour of an insane asylum sounds enticing. I went to the Blueberry Festival in downtown Nacogdoches yesterday. Never been, didn't stay long. Was the typical food vendors, fried oreos, fried pickles, fried everything, funnel cakes...

On my second cup of coffee. Its a foggy day, windows are fogged up too. For whatever reason, my washing machine started working again Friday. I don't know why, but I'll take it.

Maybe take a ride in one of the Ducks, if they still have them. They are land and sea vehicles from WW2

Slept late this morning. With all the rain Ive had lately, I get bored being inside. Oh sure, I have things to do inside, but I have a major case of the DON'TS, As in I don't want to. It's very wet and soggy outside, Foggy too, the sun is up, trying bravely to shine through, but looks like a...

Only one of the reasons I don’t live in west Texas.

It is 10 years old. I think if I start paying to get it fixed, I’d have a pretty good down payment on a new one. I got a new dryer last year. Electronics, the fancy digital stuff, even the simplest , just doesn’t last long. Give old fashioned KNOBS!

That’s a two toned striped kitty with fluid overdrive.

Finished coffee, need to get dressed and get outside before it rains again. Got one inch yesterday and another storm coming in at noon. In other news, my washing machine is on the blink. It doesn't spin all the water out, so it starts the rinse/spin cycle all over again. Clothes are too wet to...

I'm grandfathered in on a passive system. My DD and DSIL bought a place several years ago the septic was 2 culverts sunk in the ground with no bottom. New system cost $15,000

Going for second cup. Yesterday I took tractor over to son’s house and mowed. My dog Carson went too. He got hot and worn out just laying in the shade. Came home, got a good drink, sat down to cool off and took a nap. Carson was tired too. Unloaded tractor, dropped flatbed and took Buford for a...

Coffee is ready. Got 4 1/2” of rain in 3 hours yesterday. Road flooded and is probably washed out in places. Today will be too wet, county crew is off on Fridays, and it starts raining again on Monday. I just hope Central and West Texas is getting rain.

I have the 2004 Ford F250 diesel Lariat I bought for my husband. He wrecked it, hit small stuff, ran it hot and almost blew the engine, cost us $4500 to get it fixed, plus getting it stuck and other mishaps. 212000 miles and it still runs. Miracles happen. Right now it has an oil leak somewhere...

At least Central Texas got some rain.

Loaded up 13 lambs last night. Left out at 4:30 AM. I’ve unloaded, went to cafe, had breakfast and coffee! I’m at the Emory livestock Auction, 3 hours from home. It’s the closest good auction for sheep and goats.
