Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

[Grandmas Porch]

I joined in 2010. It seems so long ago. BJ and I lived just blocks from downtown Livingston. We worked at our jobs, paid bills, like everyone else. I had chickens in the backyard and a garden in the front yard. We retired and moved to 8 acres in Lindale in 2015. Living the dream, we had fun.

No, I never saw myself where I am now. I had the fairy tale. My husband and I were truly one. He’s gone, I sold the 8 acre farm, came to Trinity county and bought 25 acres with a double wide. The fences are run down, grown up with 30 or 40 years of brush, vines and trees. Did I bite off more than I can chew? Probably. Am I crazy? Definitely. Crazy is what I do best.

As our Brother Hank says " I have always been crazy, its kept me from going insane" 🙃

So are you going to plant/seed anything ?

Good morning to everyone,
Coffees is so needed ,
dinner came out great! Oma cant count, there was 15 of us, I forgot to count me & Papa, everyone was stuffed.
The boys, holy cow, doing what boys love, wrestling, running all at high decimal hahahah, They wanted to watch Sandlot and eat their pie.
They are all going to go up a bit east of here and play in the snow today.

I slept past 7 this morning! Had to be the nighttime Musinex. I put on the coffee pot and went outside to do chores. Back inside, on second cup of coffee, going to be a sunny beautiful day and I don’t care. LOL

I have been up since 4:30-stinker cat woke me because she apparently needed to eat. DH is working so it was just me until the kids got up around 7:30-no school today. The sun is out! I have done 3 loads of laundry and dishes. DD8 and I are going to watch holiday movies and paint our toes as she is battling a cough so I don't want to take her anywhere. The library is on our list for Sat, hopefully we can make it. I need to get to the feed store by Monday but not today! Today is just a day. I will need to haul wood and then DD8 and I (if she feels up to it) will go to her fairy garden in the woods to feed them

You probably needed the sleep after being stuffy and all waking up at 3.

no, just get gardens cleaned up for winter so there won't be as much to do in the spring.
