Have a great weekend. God Bless
Pinging the list.
Pinging the list.
The fall garden was coming along nicely other than the squirrels digging in it and USING TOOLS! Mr. b had hollered at one about eating the young sprouts coming up and the squirrel blew a raspberry at him. Then I walked out this morning to find they’d eaten the little spinach sprouts. I think it’s time for some squirrel stew.
Speaking of, yesterday, as we were eating lunch I looked up to see a hawk on the fence and then BAM! He got a bird that was at the feeders. It was hours before the other birds came back and they haven’t been here this morning.
There’s one row by the east fence that can’t seem to grow anything. Because it’s along the roadside fence, I’m cautious what is planted there so that had been for cole vegetables that can’t be snitched by passerbys, hungry deer and a few extra inches away from peeing dogs. It gets the morning sun but maybe the tomatoes are shading it too much in the afternoons though in the hot Texas summers a little shade is welcome.
Until just now I’d forgotten that I have a carrot patch somewhere beneath the tangle of weeds that used to be my garden. I should check on those.
Bumping for later...
Thank you, greeneyes, for all that you do. Is JustaDumbBlonde OK?
Pumping up the big tire
THEN, Little Buddy, our lawn tractor, broke a belt on the mower deck Saturday before last. We've been blessed with rain so you can 'hear' the grass growing in the yard and field (we have a couple of acres to mow with Little Buddy). LB had to go to the shop and just came home yesterday. LB and I will be spending a lot of 'quality time' out mowing today - there is so much to mow (5 hours minimum) the sitting part of my anatomy will be numb. Anyway, that's our 'Tractorville' tale - The End. :-)
Little Buddy comes home - yay!
I would like to know WHO stole the beautiful piece of Texas holey rock I had set in my hosta garden, while I was on a 2 week vacation. It had been the “finishing touch” to set off my hostas and heucheras. The perp could have been (1) someone with African cichlids, because Texas holey rock is used to raise the pH level of African cichlid tanks or (2) a local total idiot. That rock cost $20 in a pet shop, and I’m still plenty steamed!
