The Skies

It was so beautiful yesterday, and then today we wake up to clouds which takes away all the enjoyment we wanted to have on a Saturday.  I only hope that the day evolves into a beautiful afternoon with the sun breaking through and giving us the warmth we have been having the last 2 weeks.

Farming



I found this website and this picture when looking for some farming information.  It's said that this is farming in East Texas, and I believe it because that's what you see, when your out on the farms around our areas.  Now that's a tractor down below...........they sure have changed since I was a kid!

The cotton farmer was something many of us were involved with.........I remember picking many bags of cotton..........not fun.....View Image


Springtime

It's time for the farmer's to make the necessary adjustments in their way of handling the new crops, animals and properties that are about to burst loose.  You know how it is...........just more money if the year works out right.  Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and they will have a good year with their hay & feed crops.  It's nice for the animals to have plenty of fresh grass, along with plenty of good hay,

oats and corn.  The new calves, foals and such will be coming and with it will come added work.  A farmer does not like to see those big black birds flying over their farm, that means one has gone down.  They will need to go out an look for the fallen animal just in case there's a baby to save.

You Know

Well, you know who won the Super Bowl, so now it's on to the time when the players try to negotiate their contracts and money.  I'm not sure how this is all going to come about, but you can be sure that the players want more money, and the owner's want to keep their money.  Damned it, they already make money I'll never see in my lifetime, and they are wanting more?  Where's the end to this crap?

The Sun

It's out in all it's glory and we are so very glad to have it back.  It seemed like forever, during those days of cold, ice and snow.  Now, we can enjoy the warmth it's bringing back to our Texas towns.  We don't like cold weather and we are spoiled to the warm weather that we have here in our fabulous State. There's nothing like Texas!

Soon Enough

They told us that the "groundhog" didn't see his shadow, this year and that we would have an early spring.  Most of us "Texans" are spoiled to warm weather and to us, it can't be soon enough.  Most of our winters have been mild and we are accustomed to having one bad day and then a warm up.  This year has thrown us a curve and we're not happy with it.  I suppose we should be thankful, because there are states that have winter every year and it's not nice.  Deep snows are always expected up in the eastern and northern states........it's just a way of life.  I'm so glad I live here in Texas, because we can get relief for this type of  weather.

We Have Snow!

Here it is in all it's beauty and Texas is full of it.........it's even down in the lower areas of the State.......I'm impressed! 
As you can tell I used the areas close to my apartment doors to get a view of the snow without venturing out into this stuff.  The road crews just got the roads where we could pass on them, now they've got the job to do all over again.........Looks like a short paycheck for many this week..........it's a good thing it's going to warm up in the next 2 days, cause Super Bowl Sunday is in need of plenty of travel time.......

Snow

We got some snow, and sleet during the night and this morning.........I'm sure some of you are laughing at us, because of the lack of accumulation we have.  The temperatures are horrible, with 5 degrees for a wind chill factor........as you can tell there is snow and sleet on the steps and roofs, plus I'm sure it will freeze tonight, if not even today.
What's even worse is now the sun has decided to come out and tease us.

Prostitutes

A two idiot explodes a sphere.  I'm sure you've seen the headlines, about possible human trafficking of females to get men in on the money making scheme with the Super Bowl highlights.  All the parties are supposed to be for the different revelers who come to see the biggest game of the year.  This year the DFW areas claimed the fame to this novel sports event.  There are always some bad apples in every basket and this has made the headlines as well.  I'm sure there will be people who are out there keeping their eyes out for the poor ill treated women.  It's going to be rough walking the streets, in 5 degree chill factor.
