2011-Sept.22 Our Poor Little "MUD HOLE"

I won't name any names but. . . someone I recently talked to had mentioned that she was sent some pictures of the drought in Texas.  I asked if it was pictures that "this person" took and she said that she thought this person just found pics off the internet.  hehe-that's too funny!

WELL, these are ACTUAL pictures of our "LAKE" now we just call it a "Mud Hole".  In the pic to the right of the pier, the water should be up past the green grass to the trees.

The pictures below: 1st pic is to the left of the pier and the pic on the right is to the right of our pier.

Sad, isn't it!? But at least it is actual pictures of a place that we know and not just random pics off the internet.

 

2011-Sept.18 I've Got A New Toy



My New Toy- Worx 6" 5-Amp Electric Jaw Saw

Yes, Mine- all mine! We had gone to Lowe's last weekend and I saw this and wanted it.  Yes, I can handle this and Yes, I have used it.  Today, actually.  I am going to clear out our woods between the road and our house.  Not all of it, but alot of it.  I was hoping it would get really cooler, but of course, it hasn't.  So I guess I will try to do this just a little each evening.  Why!? you ask, 2 reasons. . . 1) it's so dry here that I don't want it to go up in smoke and take our home with it. 2) The woods is so thick, it is drowning out some of the bigger trees.  We want them to be able to grow and not get smothered.

I want to leave some of the woods for a little friends out there - the deer - we have a momma and 2 babies that we think stay in there and come out to feed in the evening. We put out corn, but we also put out a moist horse and mule feed that they just love.  They don't leave one morsel. 

I mowed some this afternoon, with the mower height on the highest setting and just mostly around the trees that we have been watering daily.

But I mowed only after I washed all the clothes, folded, hung and put away. 

And also while I was making a big juicy moist Pork Roast - YUM! YUM! It was sooooo goooouuuuuddddd!!!!

I'm "pooped" and getting ready for work tomorrow, and Catching up on all of the Football scores.

GO COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
