Fisher Girl

Richland Creek Fishing Hole!!

Clean Fences


One clean fence row in Galla Meadow.
What a job it was. I removed the lowest
barb of the fence so I can get to it
easier with my roll around weeder.

Flowered Border

Flowers rim my Galla Meadow.

Meadow Morning



I took a morning walk in my meadow. I can't
walk fast as there is too much to see and
enjoy and ponder. This is only two of the
scenes this morning. The meadow gives one
strength and a feeling of happiness. Proud
to be alive and able to walk there.

Shucking Corn!


This picture was taken near Falling Water, Ar. It is
some of Larry's relatives shucking corn. I remember
doing this and putting ears in the freezer. Daddy never
blanched his corn, but Larry's mom did. I love it cut
off the cob the best and froze. Candy Corn was always
Larry's Mom favorite type to plant.

Fleta called. George is off the ventalator and has an
oxygen mask on. He is still in the trauma unit. He
is doing better. They are still having to pull stuff
off his lungs. Fleta said next week she will go back
to work. My Erin went to Springfield to see him and
told the nurse...if Fleta needs someone to call her and
she will come there. We are hopeful that he will be
ok.

What's this Patsy?



This flower blooms in the day and closes up at
night. I took this at 6:30 on my morning walk.
It is only partly open. What is it, Sister?
Wonder if I could dig it up and bring it home
as it is so pretty.

My Roses


Patsy, these are my roses--wild ones on
the edge of the meadow...but they are
still pretty.

Patsy's Peonie


Our sermon at church today had one point
that I think is something good. Don't worry
about the past--focus on the future.

Texas Onions


Our friends from Texas sent a photo of
some of their onions. Texas is a good
onion producing state. I wonder if these
are Vidalia?

We may start raising turtles-

With the bad economy...we are thinking of raising
turtles. Maybe the poor will buy them and make
turtle soup...or maybe folks will buy them as
pets. They will be pretty easy to care for and
we will sell them with a hard pen to keep them
in!

Astrid and Siggie will help with the farm, but
Ingrid is not going to be much help. In her
kindergarten memory book there was a picture of
the American flag with the question--why are you
proud to be an American...Ingrid said she loved
America because here you can pick out your own
outfits to wear each day! She is a fashion plate!

Small Pleasures




Eric cooked hamburgers tonight and
we sat in the yard and watched our
girls play. Simple things bring
the greatest pleasure.
