Not a problem, the fake snakes do not look real.

Oh yes they do. My grandkids got them in Bible School year before last (don't ask lol) I screamed several times before I finally got them all thrown away.

I never worry about snakes that I can see. It is the ones that I do not know where they are that concern me. In my book snakes are ok as they eat field mice.

I know. I'm going to give it a try. I was really proud of that peach. My husband said I should stick some owls up. What we are talking about guys is birds destroying the fruits on my trees. I really don't want to net my trees if I don't have too. Someone suggested I put plastic snakes on the trees.

I know about the birds and you would not believe what they do
to fig trees. Barn cats will help keep the birds away too.

I have a fig tree too but it isn't doing too well and hasn't produced fruit yet. I'm going to get some miracle sticks.

That's what my horse did. I loved that bit.

My fig tree was a sprout from a tree my Great-grandfather had planted. It has never been fertilized but likes to be sprayed with a water hose during hot summer months........

MY little girl friends and I used to have so much fun hiding under one and throwing figs at the boys when they came by:') This one, I don't know. Just about the time I start to dig it up it will bud. I'm going to give it a few more months.

Any of yall get an offer for horse and rider for 10 dollars for a years subscription? I'm trying to find the catch but don't see it.

Good Morning.

Sun is shining brightly, going to warm up. Ah Spring!

Biscuit is home. My daughter rode her yesterday, but I missed it. It was a little cool, and I was inside. I will get some pictures of her. Jody got grounded for being a fool, when they were turned out together. We still have the palomino pony here to sell, and Jody was trying to protect Biscuit. She (Jody) kicked Biscuit, so it was time to go back in the barn. Bad girls.

Biscuit is a big screamer also. She came in heat, so that didn't help. Once she has been home for awhile, hopefully, she settles down.

Look forward to the pictures :~D

They can tend to be bad when they've been seperated a long time... just like introducing for the first time again.

Good morning:)

I think it's harder on horse owners watching their horses establish the pecking order then it is on the horses:)

How did your daughter say the ride went?

Celia is coming this morning to ride:), Yeah!!!!. Funny how knowing I'm going to ride inspires me to get other things done. This last 5 weeks waiting on this saddle, I've pretty much sat in my chair and done nothing:). I've already, dusted, vacumed, have dishes soaking, trash taken out...:)

Anyway, it looks to be a beautiful day here.

Becky

...I got a speeding ticket too. You think I can turn that in on my cost report?:')

LOL! Don'tcha just HATE getting those! I had a similar problem on a business trip to NJ not too long ago. A co-worker and I were up there for a training class. We had been extra careful to plan our trip so that we arrived long before dark so we could find our hotel, but after a long series of flight delays we ended up at the Newark airport after dark, and after we almost got run over getting out of the rental car place (people in NJ really like their horns!) we ended up driving around lost, not only in the dark, but in the rain in an unfamiliar car. And being a hick from the sticks, I ended up in an "Auto Pay" line at the toll booth with no place to put my money so I had to run the toll booth because people behind me were having a fit. (Have I mentioned that people in NJ really like their horns?!) Hell, we don't HAVE toll roads in Alabama! Well, sure enough, a ticket for $25 (plus the .50 toll) came in the mail shortly after I got back to the office. Who'da thought they'd be so picky about toll jumping?! ;o) I half way thought about filing it on my expense report but thought I'd better not and went ahead and paid it. It was the roadtrip from HELL!

...Frog.... saw reports of bad storms in your area... Are you all in one piece?

Yep, we made it through without a scratch, but others weren't so lucky. There were 10 or 11 more deaths in TN. We stayed in the in-law's basement until about 1am then went home after the worst had passed.

Wow! Those were some really great pictures Hair! And no, there's never too many of them. They're worth the wait. I'd be hard pressed to pick any one of them as my favorite because it's all so beautiful. One of my goals is to see that part of the country (in person) before I die. Thanks!
