I roofed my house 2 years ago in July. On Saturdays I had help until noon. During the week I did prep work, replacing plywood decking, underlayment, radiant heat barrier, 2x4 lath strips for the metal, had to quit by noon or have a heat/humidity stroke. I had text buddies that I checked in with...

That’s East Texas too! People think all of Texas is rocks and desert, not true! East Texas is HOT and dripping with humidity. My joke is, Texas is good practice if you’ve been bad in life and expect to go to He// when you die!

Welcome from East Texas! I’m glad you found us and joined the party.

I love your turkeys! And they are raising poults for you! Thanksgiving dinner? Your garden is so neat and free of weeds. I moved 3 years ago and haven’t planted a garden here. But I do have……..(drumroll) TWO, yes! Count them! TWO tomato plants! And a few cucumber plants! Hahaha!

I don’t mind getting old until I look in the mirror. Then I wonder Just who is THAT?

Using that analogy, I guess gardening season covers all 4 seasons at my house. And I only have 2 tomato plants and a few cucumber plants! Not enough, so I expanded my seasons to cover the sheep. Maybe I should count them…….Nah

Breakfast. Went to the movies. I highly recommend y'all going to see The Last Rodeo. Good, clean show with no cuss words. LILO and Stitch was a good kid show.

Practically nothing. Diesel. A oil and filter change every 300 hours. This check up was $380. Grease it, fuel it up and go! It’s a 23 HP Kubota, got a 4’ bush hog, box blade, disc, clamp on forks and front end loader. I love my little tractor! Her name is Marigold. But Marigold is too little for...

On my second cup of coffee. Picking up my granddaughters today, for a week. We’re gonna have some fun!

For starting seeds indoors in the spring, 1. Need a big black dog. The way this works is let dog outside. Dog comes in, lays in floor and dirt falls out of his coat in the floor. 2. Sweep up dirt. Black hair aerates the dirt, an extra bonus provided by the dog. 3. Place dirt and hair...

I picked up my tractor yesterday and mowed my yard! It was getting shaggy. Picking up my granddaughters today, they are spending the week. There’s a Gospel Bluegrass Festival in Grapeland, yesterday, today and tomorrow. Hey that sounds like that flowering shrub I used to have! Anyway we are...

I loaded my tractor on the flatbed trailer, strapped it down, took it to son’s house and mowed last week. I’m getting better at loading it on the trailer, wratchet straps still confound me, but I’m getting better at using those too. I was using tractor first of this week when it just wouldn’t...

Everclear for spraying the garden? Does it kill insects or make them so drunk that they fall off the plants and forget to eat them?

Coffee is ready! I need to work outside, but the heat and humidity is making me love my new air conditioner! LOL

My daughter and I had a car game we played, Barbie’s Mattel never heard of. Plumber’s Butt Barbie Homeless Barbie False Teeth Barbie Jailbird Barbie And so on……

I planted my 2 tomato plants and cucumbers. Amazing how satisfying that was. ❤️
