Bought some flower seeds yesterday to start in the greenhouse. I am so ready for spring to get here and it isn't even "winter" yet here in So. Texas.
Flowers I'm gonna try: Poppies, Larkspur, Delphiniums, Sweet Peas, Cosmos, Hollyhock
Should be fun and interesting to see what makes it.
Get your hands DIRTY!

Another busy day
Moved all 6 of my pointsetteas out to the greenhouse. Sure hope they make it. Would like to replant outside. Haven't ever gotten one to live and grow. I remember at my high school (Bishop, TX) there was a large one right outside the auditorium. Beautiful.
Plans for the end of the week...spread delphinium, larkspur and poppy seeds throughout my flowerbeds and around trees in back yard. I did this years ago and had good luck with them. Even had them come up for several years after that. I let my yard go when I had the gift shop open. Just too many hours involved and I didn't have the proper time for my yard. A fresh start this year! I have big plans, sure hope I can get half of it accomplished.
Did plant seeds in the greenhouse as well.
Watched the grandkids this afternoon until my son got home. Love the smiles and laughter. Brightens my day. However.....the Christmas decorations are still staring me in the face. Have gotten livingroom and kitchen undecorated. Most tubs put in storage. Hope I can get it all done this week.
All the local Livestock Shows are upon us. We sold several lambs throughout the counties. Can't wait to see how they all do. Good Luck Kids! Our local show is the end of January. So excited about that. Baby lambs should be arriving soon.

Skunking
Well...poor Bubbles was as it again. Went out on the back deck by the pool last night. Bubbles usually can chase a cat or 2. The back gate was open going down the ramp. This time it turned out to be a SKUNK! OMGoodness!!!!! She didn't get a direct hit, but enough for a bath and another bath and another bath!!!

Busy Day
My friend came out early this morning and she helped me catch 400 quail.
We loaded my old washer and dryer on her flat trailer to give to her daughter. Muscle girls here!! Then man came to pick up quail and off to the local cafe to eat we went.
We then went to another friends house who had saved me 25 windows from a remodel. All I had to do was pick them up.
Home again and we feed the sheep in the pasture. Long day, but fun. She even had a dirt necklace!
haha Thanks Dorothy!
Now back to taking down my Christmas.

Junking in Devine, TX
Picked up a dear friend and headed to Devine early this morning. Needed to pick up some cardboard quail shipping boxes. Figured we could do some junking, eating and enjoy our friendship the rest of the day. Several places I wanted to stop at were either shut down, closed or something else was in that spot. Really weird today. We did find a few Resale Shops, Salvation Army and a Gift Shop.
My treasures today:
1) Huge old pulley I will use in my garden shed. Want to have a hanging basket hanging from the rafters. Can use a rope and pulley to let it down so I can water. Also purchased some old iron door handles to tie the ropes to on the wall.
2) Several old cooking utensils. I will use during Christmas to decorate in my kitchen.
3) 2 chairs from Salvation Army. $3.99 each. Will paint and sell as planters.
So excited with my finds today!!

Hawsville with my grandson
Funning trying to type the year 2012. Where did the time fly to??
Had fun babysitting my grandsons over New Years. Wyatt, my 2 1/2 year old is really putting the words together for acutal sentences now. He can count, knows his colors and ABCs. Oh course, he is so smart!! Starting to monoplize my computer. Mickey Mouse Club entertains him.
Such a serious look on his face. But when not on the computer, he helps MoMo with her Hawsville chores. Really likes to feed the ducks!
I love deer season. Wyatt has been able to sit with me this year. He is so good. Whispers. Counts birds and rabbits. Notices "red" birds. Hears the feeder go off and knows that the deer will eat the corn. Loves the Momma deer and baby deer and Daddy deer.
What a special life I have.

Happy New Year!!!
Wishing everyone a safe, happy and prosperous new year!
I had a great time to ring in the new year. Got to watch both my grandsons New Year's Eve while the younguns went out to not only celebrate the new year, but also their 3rd Wedding Anniversary. On New Year's Day, the hubby cooked, we all went hunting and then feasted later. The day would of been great if the Cowboys would of pulled off a victory...but it just wasn't in the cards.
Everyone is off work tomorrow in my family....so more good times!
