Life in the country

Well this was a very fast week...Have noticed that the hummingbirds are starting the migrating south for the winter...but we have Eastern bluebirds and Cardinals in the yard and 2 squirrels. Saw 3 flocks of geese fly over this week.
We had our first visitors last Sat.,,, Lori Lee and Soupie came over from Kigore. We went to a gun and guitar show in Hillsboro. Had a nice day and visit.
On Monday we had more visitors..Wayne and Ruth from Pittsburg TX came by. They were in Dawson and was heading back home and stopped by for a visit. Wayne was over at Granny Moores house alot when he was a young boy. I think we're related by marriage thru Mr Moore family somehow. Anyways he told stories of her. She was a character. Now I know how the Mitchells side of the family get their humor....
Hmm cant remember Tues...oh yeah,, we worked on weed whacking out by the shop area. Its getting cool enough to burn trash...we don't have much..bush and cardboard boxes.
Wed. Wes and I went into Dallas and went to the State Fair. It wasn't anything like I thought it would be. Its midway is all the way thru the middle like it use to be at our fair and they have a sky ride. and hugh Ferris wheel. We went thru the butterfly exhibit and 4 or 5 buildings..Right smack in the middle of it is the Cotton Bowl...they have Musical Hall,Museum and trains
We ate our way thru it..deep fried Peaches and Cream... fried bacon...fried butter, which was a donut hole type thing with melted butter in it....I'm not even going to try to count those calories. We walked around for almost 6 hrs and then decided to head back home...
Thurs... suppose to have storm front come thru tonight..Wes went and got 2 new tires on Miata and its TX check...The big storm front came thru about 8p.m with wind thunder and lighting and only a little bit of rain..30 minutes it was gone.
Now its Friday..I didn't get up til 8:30...WoW! It is just beautiful today..Slight breeze and in the 70s and the bluest sky I think I've ever seen.
We had to go to the court house to register the Miata and get his new TX license plates. Decided to go eat Mexican for lunch. Went by Sears and bought a new GAS Powered weed whacker and then went to Walmart and bought groceries.
Dad bought a used riding lawn mower from our neighbor Tom, and will do the lawn tomorrow. Its suppose to be at least 40 to 50% chance of rain all week and so tomorrow is the clear day.
Monday we'll be cleaning the RV and packing it up before heading for AL.
Well thats it from out in the country...
