Ma & Pa Goes to Dallas

Well it was actually Mesquite, TX ...I was bored and said I wanted to go somewhere for a ride ... We looked up some stores online and off we went..the directions took us to Town East Mall area...there was Joannn Fabric, Hancock Fabric, Kirkland, Super Target, Hobby Lobby, Michaels Boarders...oh my heart be still....Look Pa!
and we didn't even go to the mall...We only went to Joannes, Boarders and a A-1 plane store...then we went to Soulmans for Bar B Q..yummy that was good...Drove thru downtown Corsicana on the way home to see the Christmas lights since we didnt go to last Thur. nights season celebrations. Enjoyed the outing and traffic was good for a Sat. afternoon and evening. Gotta go head for church little early, its foggy out there.....can hardly see the cows

Amazing things

We are having the most amazing sunsets the past few evenings... Wes still on his lawn mower... and it was like a scene out of the Alfred Hitchcock movie THE BIRDS! The purple martins are mirgrating thru the area towards Mexico and have been around this area for a few days...this picture of the back yard is nothing to what the front yard looked like...I bet there were 500 or 600 if not more, in the front yard yesterday morning...NOISY eating the bugs in the grass and then they are move on.

Fall in the air

Yep the is a little crispness in the mornings but warms up to mid 70s. One of the trees in front yard has lost all of its leaves and you can see just a few trees out in the back pasture,changing to a light yellow color.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Velane! Hope you have a great day...

On Monday morning I went to take trash out to can at gate and I dont know who scared who more...me or the cow...Someones cows were out and on the road and into the Baumgardeners drive....Judy came out and shoo them out of her place.
I called Jennifer, next door for the man phone number who has cattle behind us. We checked his fences but not his cows...Judy called sheriff and they think the cows are from the 800 acres down and around at the end of the road.
I see that this morning there are 4 or 5 of them back in the side pasture of the Baumgaterners.... Just let them get into Judy garden and the neighborhood will be having steaks....

Well we finally got the RV out of the mud again, but just barely... even the big rig tow truck was having problems not sinking... I cant believe its still that wet out there but it is. Suppose to have rain coming but not heavy.

Got all my flower bulbs planted before the big frost...Planted 40 daffodils in area next to garage. Under my bedroom window, I planted 2 iris, 20 tulips, and 15 crocus.. couldn't find any gladiolus so will plant them when I find them.... Now I need to do something with the flower bed next to porch..all that rain killed the Vinnas... Bring on the frost.
