Sprung!

Sunflowers planted by the birds....
Lettuce planted in plastic storage containers.....
Lettuce planted in recycled fencing turned into raised bed....
Potatoes coming up.....
Spring is certainly here...birds are singing, weeds are popping up and my little garden is awakening.
All is well!
Everything's Big in Texas
>> Saturday, March 12, 2011
Well, it's been 13 days since Aaron and Kayla packed up the car and headed west. West to Texas that is. They have a small apartment and life is good.
Ahh, enjoy it my son, these will be the days you remember so fondly.
I often say, Monty and I were our happiest when we had nothing but a small apartment.(What I mean by that is when you own a house.. along with it comes taxes, mortgage, upkeep and responsibility)(Not that we were irresponsible but it was kinda nice not being tied down to anything).
I personally have never been to Texas, but I know my parents went there back in the 50's. I have a picture of my Dad roping a steer. I never ask him much about that trip, wish I had now of course. The only thing I know is they went there to visit my Aunt Vada, my Mom's sister.
Ah, but I digress. Back to Texas, where everything is big. Wonder where that saying came from? It is a pretty big state and they do wear pretty big hats.
Hmmm...probably has something to do from back in the days of the cowboy.
