Perry

I hate to say it, but I do believe that Rick Perry should just step down and stop using our tax money to support his campaign for the Presidency.  He is on the bottom of the polls and hasn't got a chance in the world.  I hope he see's this situation as it is.  He flubbed up during some of the debates, and this left him very doubtful early on. 

Rain

The north Texas areas, got a much needed soaking rain.  It's been raining for 2 days and there's water standing in low places out in the yard.  I planted my onions a few days ago in order to catch this rain.  Now, they will have a good start on all the other vegetables, that I intend to plant.  The 2 peach trees will enjoy this rain as well.  Hopefully there will be peaches this year.

Donald Trump?

Reports say that Trump supporters had filed paperwork in Texas to allow him run as a third-party candidate under the name of the "Make America Great Again Party." Real estate mogul Donald Trump said Monday he might run for president if the Republicans pick the "wrong candidate."

2012

The "New Year" is here and along with it comes the unpopular running of candidates for our next President of the USA.  Our governor is running and this makes him seen in public more than usual.  We know that since he's not carrying a good margin in the poles, he will not make it to the presidency.  It's possible the front runner, could ask him to be their vice-president, which would still place him in White House politics so to speak.  We as Texans wish him luck and that is certainly what he is going to need...........

Christmas Lights

Right after Thanksgiving and on that same day, we noticed a man outside putting up his Christmas decorations, the next evening while driving home, I got a huge surprise.  The house was fully lit, with white Christmas lights, and a sight to behold.  I was almost ready to call my sister and tell her how much that man really had been working, but keep hoping she will drive down the street as I did and see all his efforts.......

Our Weather

This has been an up and down thing.........sometimes you get great warm weather, and then the freezing cold hits.  It's not magic, but the trouble that Texans face yearly.  Not only have we had this horrible drought, now we are looking at another year of this mess.  I frankly wonder if there will be enough water to service our homes this coming year.  I hope the rain is plentiful because I intend on a good spring vegetable garden.  The ground is tilled and if the rain will give us a week, then we can turn it over again, before planting time.

Cold Front

It's morning in Texas and as I look out the window I see clouds that hide the sun's warmth.  It's going to be another cool wet day and we are glad to get these days.  Right now the relief from the triple digit temperatures we had 2 months ago are enough to make us be thankful.  The rain is most needed because of the drought we are in, so that's a plus as well.  I'm certain there aren't many Texans worried about the rain that's coming in the next few days.  They are finding it a welcomed change compared to the days prior.  I wonder what this winter will give us.  We had a rough one last year, but not as bad as some who live up east in the snow bound areas.
