Yep. Freezing last week and running the air conditioner this week. Gotta love Texas weather! But I am NOT complaining! And, yeah, I know. I haven’t been on in a few days. I told you it was a sorta daily blog. It’s tax season & I...
Today started out great. I slept in a bit then got a hold of Oncor to have them come repair the downed line then I stepped outside to enjoy the beautiful day. As I made my way to the coop to check on the chickens I noticed some snow had not melted...
More thawing taking place today and tonight is the last night with projected temps below freezing – until Monday. Temps got up to a balmy 47 degrees, AND our water pressure returned to about 70% normal. All seems right with the world again! We...
More thawing taking place today and tonight is last night with projected temps below freezing – until Monday. And my hair appt got rescheduled to today. Water pressure was decent when hubby checked at 8, but by the time of my appt at 10:30 it...
Another below freezing night – but not in the single digits. Daytime temps finally got back above freezing. Have I mentioned we almost froze our catookuses off? We’re projected to get more freezing temps tonight, so we’re not quite...

Another snow day. Who would have thought that we’d have 2 snow events in one winter? Not me. We get snow like once a decade, but within weeks of one another? Never! At least not in my lifetime. And we’ve got good accumulation on the...
Birdhouse gourds were another first in our 20020 garden. I had been planning to plant them in the garden when I ordered the seeds back in 2008(!), but then SQUIRREL! When I planted the seeds last year I was concerned about the germination rate for...
2020 was the first year I grew luffa (loofa/loofah) gourds, and it was a learning experience. I planted my seeds a bit late because I decided to grow them on the spur of the moment. I placed my order on March 14, and as you probably remember the...
