Nice photo, Meerkat! You are a beautiful woman.
Thank you Weedy but that picture is about 26 years old. That kid is now 6'5' tallest in the family and pushing 30 now.
Nice photo, Meerkat! You are a beautiful woman.
It sure can make you sick. My step grand parents, and grandparents on my dads side both had farms, one had the highway widen and took the house and barn. The other was sold off and the buyer has torn down everything and stripped the land of dirt for fill. It now has a massive area that sells mulch and crap. Makes me sick everytime I drive by and see it. My uncle had 80 acres that joined it. Now it has all kinds of shops and small trucking firms on it. Growing up there was well over 100 acres to explore, chase cattle, mow, tend fences, etc. Now just more sprawl. Don't even look like the same places.
Fourth here, Meer
I will second that
I would third it.

Thanks for saying this, it was my thought as well but I try to stay out of trouble, I'm trying to stay PC, but I do appreciate beautiful women and my wife knows this and does give me a break.Nice photo, Meerkat! You are a beautiful woman.
I am glad we could all show our appreciation for our most active member, and all stay our of trouble at the same time!Thanks for saying this, it was my thought as well but I try to stay out of trouble, I'm trying to stay PC, but I do appreciate beautiful women and my wife knows this and does give me a break.
For some reason this reminds me of a character from the old Dick Tracy cartoons, was there ever a guy called Fly Face? Got to ask, what's drawing so many flies? Those look like the little black flies around here that land on eyes and sometimes get under the eye lids, painful, they also like the ears and nose, there are times I've had to do concrete pour after dark to avoid those dang flies and I'm not so sure a hat like yours would have done the trick.I am going to buy me a fly strip.

My dad taught me this gardening trick and it's so great that I just have to share. Yes, this is one of my gardening hats. Yes, that is a fly strip that I've wrapped around the brim. And finally, one more time, yes. Those are all of the bugs that thought that they would be able to torment me. As an added bonus, and this part is especially for all of you that know what I mean when I say that a black fly swarm around your head - the circling and singing that they do to drive ya crazy - well when they land on this strip they scream. It's incredibly loud for such a small bug and I'm not ashamed to say it's also strangely entertaining. Who's having a good time now, black fly? Me. The laughing gardener.

Sirens not working seems (to me) to be a universal problem. Local Government isn't reliable to insure tornado sirens are operational makes me wonder how reliable national healthcare would be.
That's a little close to the water for us in Arkansas right now. But very nice place..

Just finished my bedtime snack!
The first non-store-bought melon of the season. My cousin started a couple of dozen watermelon plants in a small greenhouse she had built in February.
She brought me this one today, my late night snack. For an early melon it’s a tick above average… but a lot better than store bought.
15 years ago dad and I had 200 peach trees. I sold tons of peaches at the farmers market. Back then I knew an old man (80’s) who grew and sold melons, cantaloupes etc.
He had a saying about melons and veggies… “It takes heat to bring the sweet!”. He’d say that over and over again. That old man used to crack me up about a lot of things… But he was right about June heat increasing sugar levels in corn, melons, cantaloupes, peaches and veggies. He knew what he was talking about.
It takes heat to bring the sweet! I can still remember him saying that. I miss seeing that old man! I heard he passed away back in 07 or 08.
Edited to add... a cool wet June and our peaches were just average... Give me a hot dry June and I'd put our peaches up against anyone in the southeast! The sugar would drip down your chin!

We did. Aside from the camping price doubling it was pretty nice. It wasn't hot, nice breeze, polite neighbors. Much better than last year when it hit 117° with loud neighbors till all hrs of the night.Beautiful place Terri. Hope you all enjoy your time there.
Pecos? Elephant Butte?
