Oh yes, I very well know and understand how important trees are. Their shade is far more cooling and refreshing than the shade, say, of a barn or other man made structure.
When I made the offer on this place, the double wide was ringed with oak trees, a shady oasis. Before we closed, they were...
Getting new AC unit, inside and outside Friday or Monday. No parts for old one, compressor is dead plus uses the old Freon. A neighbor brought over a small window AC, it’s in the living room, I’ve been sleeping on the queen sleeper sofa.
And today my truck FINALLY got loaded on a trailer and hauled to the shop. It’s been 3 1/2 weeks. Now I can find out what is wrong and get it fixed. Now THAT has been stressing me! :lol::lol::lol::gig🤪
A friend brought over a small window unit and it’s cooling the living room. I’m sleeping on...
Had a nice weekend, Saturday I picked up thistle heads out of the front pasture. All. Day. Long. Step counter racked up almost 5 miles but couldn’t record how many times I bent over. I packed 9 bags of thistle heads. Sunday morning, church and Sunday afternoon I went to friends for potluck...

Riding mower! :lol: :gig:lol::gig:lol:

Coffee. I will survive now….. out of cream, but I’ll survive that too. Had a lovely afternoon with friends yesterday, got home right before dark and got animals fed. AC was blowing hot air, was 81F in the house. I shut it off, called son to complain. He suggested that I go to his house and sleep...
They were getting close to seed when I chopped them. Then took 2 days for a trip to Corpus Christi to see granddaughters, then a 9 AM to 10 PM chicken processing, then a morning feed run, followed by total exhaustion. Next day, yesterday, picking up thistles and bagging them. Monday start over!
