Town and Country

When I'm near the water...all of my cares fall away.  This is a private lake in town.  It is a great place to relax.  If you throw a handful of dog food into the water, catfish and turtles will come and eat.   
 
 
Locals refer to our National Forest as Gov'ment land.  There is a lot of Gov'ment land in our county.  Deer are prevalent on that land...and they are protected.  These deer are not on Gov'ment land...they are on private property....I'm not sure if they are protected here or not...
 
 Look Mom ... people!  (This fawn is tiny)
 
 
 Back on the farm...good son is disking up the garden.  We have to get these weeds under control so that we can get a fall garden in.   If things are as usual around here...we will work long and hard to get the soil just right for planting.  We will plant the seeds ever so carefully.  We will wait and wait.  We will wonder....and then we will decide that it was just too hot around here for a fall garden!  At this point one might think that we would be discouraged...but we want.   We will plant a winter garden.  Good things grow in the winter. 
 
 
 Look!  Creepy things crawl around here.....
 
 
 I found these old magazines at a little sale the other day. They are dated in the forties.  Americans had to make do with what they had and according to one advertisement not everyone used sheets on their beds...ewwww!  Note to self....something else to be thankful for....sheets!
 
 
 We are having Cowboy and Cowgirl camp at Bella's and Poppy's this week!  Our two youngest Grands are coming up for this.  Their big Sis and Momma are going to church camp!  Ye haw!!! We are going to have fun!
Blessings from the "ranch" that is out in the pasture!
