She leavin on a jet plane.....



Well I'm off to California, early in the morning. Wes will drive out the week before Stephanie wedding, on the 22nd and we will head back towards home on Monday around the 24th...

The puppies are gone. Wes really didnt want them and I such a sucker for dogs. They were about 2 to 3 months old...It been real quite around here the past few days. BUT,,, I will get me a pup when I get back.

The storm that passed thru on last Friday night was crazy. They call it straight line winds..85 plus hr winds. Several places around had lots of trees split or down, few roofs damaged and most people in town didnt have electric for like 12 plus hours. Ours was only out about an hour, we didnt have too much but enough.

Elvis is Missing!!!!

That's right...the manikin of Elvis, Santa, Freddie, on the tractor down the road is gone! What will we do for local entertainment now?...

Lost Puppies

Well last week we kept hearing dogs barking during the night. There was signs of something was laying in my daffoldil flower bed, then these 2 puppies started barking at us from under the RV. We ignored them for about 3 days hoping they would just keep on going...until they started coming up to the porch. Danny the dog whisper was out there talking to them and we started feeding the, I check and call the newspaper, Humane Society and the Animal Shelter and I even put out flyers of lost puppies....NO repsonses...grrr I hate it when people dump animals....
OK, now what do we do??? keep them or take them to the shelter????
No! I haven't named them... but I cant let them starve....

Where did the week go?

We worked on the garden most of this week and I dug a spot for Becky sunflowers and the boys pumpkins. Wes mowed the lawns and it wasn't half hour later it turned cloudy and had a nice rain for 20 minutes but muggy... I put in our picture of our burn last week too. Ok, out of no where came 2 white dogs...Wes came asking if the neighbor dogs were out...I went out looking and found them in the garage, the puppy was trying to get into the 50 lb of dog food...tried to shoo them out but they just went to corner coward down...Ahh... I kept garage open and just let them rest and put some food and water about 20 feet in front yard...they finally came out and ate and off they ran out under the RV....

Things to do and places to go

Well this last week was busy with something almost every day. We started off with Wes getting his new shiny bright red lawn mower delivered on Monday. He went to work mowing and trimming all day Tuesday and Wednesday. I got my plane reservation made to fly to California at the end of the this month. Will be there for about month...
Thursday was our church sceduled time to help serve lunch to the college kids at United Christian Fellowship Hall. So I went and helped with that. I picked the month of April for cleaning the church so I headed over there afterwards...
Friday we were finally able to do aour first big trash burn. It has either been rainy or too windy the past 6 months... Wheres the marshmallows Becky ????
We went to town Sat. morning to wait for a historic steam locomotive # 844, to come thru and stop in town. It came from Wyoming, on its way down to Houston. It was part of a 8 state tour to celebrate the railroads history. We hopped in our car and headed out about 15 miles to a little town of Richland, and waited for it to come blasting thru...I didnt get the video on my camera to work to capture the sounds but Wes got some good pictures....too cool.

Cowboy Rustler Dan

I get a phone call this morning from Danny, and all I got was go out front..so I get to the door and look out and there are 4 cows coming down the road and Danny following them in his car.. they started to turning at our gate but went on..Whew!
NO DANNY you cant bring them home or keep them! ...they shoot cattle rustlers...LOL
Actually they have been out, down the road for the last couple of days. someone will count and see they are missing 2 momma and their calf's and come herd them back.

Danny stopped along side the road coming in from work and picked me 3 bluebonnets. They are pretty when they flower..we found a few bluebonnets out back but no Indian paintbrush..they are everywhere out in the pastures down the road.
Hope its not against the law to pick Texas state flower, like they are in Calif. with the Poppy's. We might we singing, "Your in the Jail House Now" if we keep this up.

Well our yards are looking good. Wes has his new lawn mower and has been busy busy busy..if it ever stops being windy or rainy, he'll burn his big pile of limbs and stuff. The front porch swallows are back trying to build their nest but we're not letting them. I put out my hummingbird feeders cause there are some early birds flying around and seeing black and orange butterflies starting to fly around.
I have beautiful tulips blooming..Pink, orange, yellow, purple and one red.
Dad built his 3 garden frames and will fill it up with amended soil this next week...
