I wonder too why people want to build homes on such places. Beachfront, cliffside, riverfront, all are doomed to someday fall to the whims of nature. God designed and put into place the forces of nature. He doesn’t create every storm. Nature and weather patterns create storms. It is up to us to...

There was truly that much rainfall, all at once. Over 20” in some places, in a very short time. The ground in central Texas is very rocky, lime stone, and flash floods are common. The area has been in drought for 4-5 YEARS. Lakes and reservoirs were almost dried up. Central Texas needed rain...

Y’all pray for the families affected by this tragedy. Texas is reeling from this loss. https://www.tpr.org/2025-07-04/kerr-county-residents-urged-not-to-travel-unless-seeking-higher-ground-along-guadalupe-as-severe-flooding-leads-to-fatalities?_amp=true

No produce auctions here, never been to one. We have farmers markets, but not auctions. Farmers markets are geared towards small purchases, 3 tomatoes, 4 potatoes, a few of everything.

That’s GREAT news on your DH check ups! I’m glad he is doing so well. ❤️ Grandkids are the best!

@CrealCritter im so sorry about the lost calves. It’s just one of the things about having livestock. You just have to take the bad with the good. I look at it this way; I’ll take the losses, I’ll take the hits, I’ll take the heartache, because the joys far outweigh the sadness of loss. If I...

What a fun time!

I did chores, loaded Carson in the truck and went to get diesel. I fueled the mule and took him for a ride. Happy dog.

Next time, soak it in the bathtub overnight. Go agitate it a few times. Next morning, drain, add fresh water, agitate, can use hands or baseball bat or broom handle…. Drain. Rinse again. Drain. You can let it drain awhile or get in bathtub and “stomp grapes” LOL Put in laundry basket and drag it...

I’ve lived in hurricane country most of my life. Still do, but a little farther inland now. I’m 177 miles from Galveston, just a short hop for a major hurricane. I’ve gone 3 weeks without power, used a small generator for refrigerator and freezer, a fan and TV. When the whole area has no power...

I used to make lots of jam and jelly. My picky grandkids only like raspberry jam and only 1 particular brand. I don’t eat much because of sugar and carbs. So why bother.

My county sheriff hates “Trashholes” and goes through trash and usually finds mail in it. He also has game cameras all over the place, so gets pictures and posts them on FB. Lots of times people can identify the truck, but he has plate numbers. He makes people clean it up or go to jail.
