We call it bull thistle.

Doing chores yesterday evening, I opened the doors to the shed to find two copperheads nestled on the alfalfa crumbs. Uhhh…., Nope! NOT reaching for a flake of alfalfa! I went and got a square point shovel and a machete. I slammed the shovel on both, whacked the bigger snake with the machete...

I made a quick trip to Corpus Christi Tuesday to see a school play my middle granddaughter was in, came back Wednesday. I took them 65 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast, leg quarters, ground chicken, chicken pan sausage and a couple packages of buffalo wings. They were delighted. The...

As long as you don’t use the litter box, it’s ok to hide under the bed.

Sunny, windy and beautiful yesterday. I machete chopped thistles until 2:30. Got 3 fields cleared. Practically none in the back field. They are blooming and I don’t need ten million more. I had to get them down! I’ll pick them up in a couple of days, bagged and set out for the trash. Otherwise...

Coffee is ready! It’s cold here at 42F, but warming up this week. I think I’ll go chop and drop thistles this morning. They are getting ahead of me, they are monstrous huge. Time to sharpen up the machete. Will be sunny this week, maybe that will dry them up and I can gather and put them in a...

That is wonderful.

I got back about an hour ago. We met at Woody’s Smokehouse. It’s a destination kind of place. Right on the interstate, there’s tons of traffic. It’s on the southbound side. They built a new one on the northbound side and both stay busy. When I left, I went to the northbound side and bought...

I have to meet a customer this morning 1 1/2 hours away. Just getting daylight and it started raining. Got to do animal chores, then put cooler in back seat and load it with chicken. Can’t pick it up when full. I’ll pack chicken in plastic grocery bags, makes for faster transfer, put in laundry...

Coffee is ready. I woke up at 4:00. @CrealCritter I'm glad y’all are safe. I thought about you last night when Carson, my half Labrador and half Great Dane was playing and wanting attention. Tummy rub? Anatolians are barking! What’s out there? I’m baaack! You can pet me some more...

On my second cup of coffee. I didn’t get the front field sheep run across the driveway yesterday to the working chute. But I did get the middle field sheep run through and the lambs wormed. I thought I had a barrel of feed, but I didn’t and was totally out. Had to take car, could only haul 8...

I haven’t seen a chick at TSC or Atwoods yet. People must show up when the truck arrives. Chick tubs stay so clean! Here we go with toilet paper again. My grandmother kept corn cobs hanging on the bathroom wall with a hand lettered sign that said, For Company Use Only. :lol: My Daddy said...

Coffee is ready, on my second cup. I need to run sheep across driveway, sort out a ram lamb for weaning. Chaos is inevitable.

March 10, no wind. Low winds predicted at 3 MPH for 2 days. I lit burn piles. They lied. The wind came up, blew embers and the grass fire merrily caught and outran me. I had company over, she and I battled the flames, a neighbor came over and helped. From no wind to blowing a gale, it sure...
