Richland Creek


This is the rock that Erin put on her blog.
Richland Creek is a beautiful area in Newton
County, AR.
The bottom photo was taken several years
ago. I recall the rock was covered with moss
now it looks as if the moss is gone? Wonder
what happened to it?

Nature Trail

Took my little blue bike to this trail
and rode 8 miles yesterday. It took an
hour. I did not have to get off and push
even ONE time. I am so proud, but I
could never walk up Meek hill, Fleta!

Hay for my Ridge Chicks







I wanted Patsy to see that I am taking
care of the Ridge Chickens. My pen gets
muddy and what I call marred. So I went
to the feed store and bought a bail of straw
to strew around in their pen. They were as
proud a I would be with a new rug in my
home!



The white Bantie is not a Ridge Chick. She is
one of my old ones that I have kept. Siggie
loves her and will eat all her egg because she
thinks the white chick laid it. When we gather
the egg and one had poo on it...I showed Siggie
and she yelled, 'Chickens don't poop on the eggs'.

Decoration Day 1950

Someone shared this photo with me this week.
It was taken first Sunday in June 1950. My
husband's father is the man with the white hat
and hands on his hips. His grandfather is the
one with overalls and hands on his hips. His
great grandmother is sitting on the ground near
her husband's grave with a rag tied on her head.
Larry looks like his grandfather.

Another Sky!

Look up, Look up
What do you see
Hope is there
Waiting for thee!

Happy Birthday, Hillary


Hillary has a birthday today--Oct. 26. I
hope she will be such a great President that
we will get to stay home from work someday
because it is her birthday. I hope she will
remember the working people in our country.
I hope she will remember that she is not
queen...only president. I hope she will do
something about health care for all of us.
I hope the word WAR can move to a back
burner on the government stove!

A Friend indeed!

Yesterday on my walk, a friend went along.
It made the 30 minutes just whiz by and I
learned a lot of new stuff. Bats are good
because they eat misquitos. If you catch a
big frog by putting a bucket on top of it...
the entire bucket will jump around your
yard like it is alive. I wanted my friend to
come home with me...but her father said
'supper is ready'.
