I reckon my neighbors were at the farmers market today. one of my neighbors has a 12 year old boy. my neighbor was telling me that he was asking about pears at the farmers market but they didn't have any. he wanted to try a pear because he's never had a pear before. So I txt his momma and asked if I could come over about 9:30 and that I had something for him.

So I grabbed a sack and put a dozen or so nice ripe and turning pears in the sack. His momma must not said anything to him that I was coming. I went in with the sack and said to him, somebody told me you never had a pear before, is that true? He said he never tried a pear before. then I handed him the sack and said this is for you.

he opened the sack and his face lit up with a big smile. I said let me give you a little hint. the ones that are yellow are ripe and good to eat now. the green ones you can set out on the counter and they will ripen in the next several days. I also said I didn't spray them so you can eat around any bad spots or cut them out.

He grabbed a good yellow one and washed it off. took a little taste bite and he was grinning ear to ear. I said looks like, you like pears hu? he said it's kind of like an apple but softer and juicer and way sweeter. He devoured that pear quick, had pear juice running down his chin 😂

His momma walked me out to the front porch. She said thank you so much. I said I figured it would get a smile and it did, a big one.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

i like pears green too, they're quite different than the ripe and soft ones but they're still good to me.

Morning all! I'm recovering from yesterday, went to bed around 10:30 We still had company so yes I was a bad hostess but everyone knew I had been up since 3 so I was exhausted FH stayed out with them for another 30 minutes then had to practically kick them off the property seeing how he said something then one replied "r u saying you want us to leave?" his answer was yes I would like to go to bed too so they left and yup I was still awake when he came in seeing how NONE of the dogs wanted to settle down for the night. There's still a little bit of cleaning up to do plus tearing down and taking care of tents. Pics of set up and during the BBQ. I think I'm going to need another cup or 2 before I get going. Later on today we have to go over to a close family friends house seeing how her brother is going to be the photographer/ videographer of the wedding and we got to talk to him he lives out of state so he's here visiting for a few days. Everyone had a blast!!!!!

Buford T. Justice?


Buford T. Justice?

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸
Yep, that’s the one. Right at this moment Buford is running circles in the field, chasing insects, probably grasshoppers. Buford chases the cattle egrets, they fly away. Can you imagine what fun a chicken would be?

Wile E. Coyote meets Buford T. Justice. Is @baymule selling tickets?

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸
Buford is growing up, coyote would have to run for his life.
