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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



2010-Oct.31 Food, Food, And More Food

Well, I finished my first quilt, titled the "Dragonfly" quilt; and suddenly I got a BURST of energy. And being very hungry by now, I started cooking. I put a pot of water on the stove with onions that I quartered up, and garlic salt and put in chicken quarters. While that was cooking up, I got out some recipes and started cooking.

Chicken Noodle Soup
