A Little Blue Monday

Today a little blue and a lot of “ mish mash”.

Blue doesn’t come easy around here, so I just chose a few things

I bought about six of these $2 bird house several years ago and have used the heck out of them. Not sure where they will be this year,probably on the patio.

Bluebonnets on my Texas bird house was given to me by my mother-in-law.

This is my blue tractor.

A very large martin house, made by a gentleman at High Island, which is right on the Texas coast east of Crystal Beach.

Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn..."
by Mother Goose

Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn.
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.
Where is the boy that looks after the sheep?
"He's under the haycock, fast asleep."
Will you wake him? "No, not I;
For if I do, he'll be sure to cry."

I wanted to show you pictures of our pasture and pond, we have not had more than 3/4 of an inch since early fall. Our Governor has ask for aid especially for farmers and ranchers south of us.

When you walk in the pasture, your shoes and pants legs get full of dirt. There should be rye grass about 8 inches high. Our pond is down about 6 feet.

Roy said our pasture looks like a green oasis compared to south of San Antonio.

We pray everyday for rain.

I also have another sad story about a baby goat, this is War Blanket…our up and coming Billy, I heard him screaming in the pasture and found him on his side unable to get up.

I carried him to the barn to die in clean surrounding and the next thing I know he is up and walking around. I put him in pen by himself and medicated him and fed him for three days and then last night I found him down again. I brought him to house and put him in a play pen on the patio and he ate good, but despite my trying to save him, he died last night.

Roy keeps telling me I can’t save them all, but I will never stop trying.

The rest of the herd is fine and there are a lot of nannies out there carrying little ones, so come about June and some earlier, we should have another crop of little ones running and jumping all over the place.

Thanks Smiling Sally for hosting Blue Monday again.

We are still asking for prayers for Roy’s Mom, things are up and down, but the pain is returning and her arm is swelling and we know she can only hold on just so long.

Thanks again.

See Y’all

Hectic Week

 

I think I need a couple of days to just do nothing, so to all my blogging friends, I miss you and will be back in a day or two.

Didn’t Finish….But Stopped for Now

Sharon and I worked until about 2:00 p.m. and finally said enough is enough…at least for now. Linda couldn’t come today, but she called to give some instructions (just like a woman with an attitude).

We finished the living room , guest bath, my bedroom and add some stuff to the kitchen.

we removed the microwave, add the cookbooks and banished the microwave to the pantry.

Add Hear no Evil, See no Evil and Speak on Evil on kitchen counter.

The pictures don’t do justice to all the work Sharon and Linda did. How do you say thank you to such wonderful friends or even think of repaying them. I have not felt so blessed in a long time. Thank you Sharon and Linda.

Today is Bunco…and there is still a mess in this house and on the patio…..but as Miss Scarlet said,” I will think about that tomorrow”.

Still Decorating for Easter!

 

This is how things looked at 10:00 a.m. when Sharon and Linda arrived.   We them preceded to empty every box and sort out things for Goodwill or a garage sale.

 

 

Then the real work began for Sharon and Linda, I was the gofer, tried to help move stuff around and fixed lunch.

This is Linda with her Easter  Boa posing with an attitude, she said you must always have an attitude.

Here are some of the after pictures.

Kitchen Table

 

It is funny how different every thing looks in pictures…they really to not do justice to the overall look of the kitchen.

This is a few of the things we have left over to do in rest of the house.

Hope I haven’t bored you, I just needed to show their work and give them some credit.

Jenny and Miss Cali were so tired, they went to bed early.

Tomorrow is another day and we will finish?

Love to Y’all

Thanks to Everyone who came by!

Thanks to everyone who came by  for Flaunt your Red and Pink Saturday…you made my weekend.

I am taking the day off and Roy and I are going to Church in College Station and then out to lunch.

Thanks again for all the prayers, right now we are just taking it one day at a time.

I hope everyone has a happy, peaceful day.

See Y’all,

Barbara

Pink Saturday

I think I did better for Pink Saturday. I do have lots of pink items in my house.

If you are not participating in these days, please join us….it is fun.

Roy always brings me flowers.

This is one of a small collection of cats I have called Whimsiclay by Amy Lacombe.  Since we have 5 cats, it seemed reasonable to collect a few cat figurines.

Not sure how much pink to display, so I will stop for today.

Hope you have a very Pink Saturday!

See Y’all

Your prayers are needed!

 

Before you read Flaunt your Red, please say a prayer for Roy, his sister and their mother.

The cancer has spread throughout her body, she is in terrible pain and they have changed from morphine, which wasn’t helping, to another drug.  They moved her to the wing of the hospital for those who are terminally ill and only have a short time left. They have removed the feeding tube and if the pain can’t be controlled, they will put her in a coma.

Roy has said his goodbye’s, but his sister is having a hard time.

We are praying for a speedy peaceful death.

Thank you,

Barbara and Roy
