UNIQUE FAMILY SHOT

In mid-July this past year I was driving down near the hardware store in Ennis and spotted the scene below. It was great to see.

MAMA STOPS TO GIVE THEM A SNACK.

Blog Catch-Up.

Well, it is November 23, 08 and I have FINALLY decided to try to get back to the blog. The last entry was June 19, which makes me a tad ashamed. ALSO, I am a bit shamed when I read Melynda's blog, becuase she is so assiduous about maintaining hers. (:>)

The PROJECTS in Ennis mentioned in my June 19 post have been finished and some new ones added.
I hope I can find a few pitures to go show the evolution of the various 'works-in-progress.' The most signigicant changes were;

• Finish the new deck, with seating and steps
• plant about a dozen trees. We bought the biggest we could get becuase we probably won't live long enough to see them grow to maturity
• Installed new sod in front of the house
• and finished unfencing the corrals and replacing the old posts with new ones PLUS electric wire. (the posts appear a bit 'staggered' because I drove them with a post-driving machine and rocks often forced the posts out of line or to slant in order to avoid a large rock.

Almost Finished

FINISHED WITH SEATS

SURE GLADE I DID NOT HAVE TO DIG THOSE HOLES!
