Seeds for the birds

Cost $30 for 50 lbs. Helen says it is worth it, but I doubt I buy more till winter.

I have house finches, yellow finches, and sparrows on the feeders and cardinals, bluejays and doves on the ground. I do enjoy watching them and listening to their songs.

It has rained all day and is almost cold.

Kids are out of school as of today. I am making pork chops, biscuits, potatoes, green beans and gravy to celebrate. Or, maybe just because that's my favorite meal 

New Hobby...

This is an old barn between here and farewell. I think it may have belonged to a Tharp at one time, but I'm not sure.  I have had many hobbies, photography for one. Stalking the dead, genealogy, another. Now my new special past time is playing lost and found, or sometimes, not found.  On our shopping trip yesterday, I bought new socks at a bargain, 10 pairs for $5. I thought I put them on my sock drawer, but no. I looked threw everything on my room, even cleaning under the bed and dresser. No luck. After searching for almost an hour, I looked in the car. Found, finally. 

Then Greg asked about the kids ss cards. Boy's was where it belonged, but no girl card. I knew u had it last, so it did not take nearly as long as the socks. Same place, in the car 

This new hobby is no fun.

Tomato Garden

Really needs rain. It started raining about 7:40 and is still sprinkling a little. Ky3 says 85 percent today. Rain is much better than hose water for plants 

We are going to Branson today to shop for vacation clothes. Robert really needs new t-shirts. We are probably going to get wet.

Big Heart

Sister Helen has a big heart.  This is my boss' mother's grave stone.  She is burried at Gass Cemetery not far from the graves of our Gaddy Grandparents.  I told Helen I wanted to put flowers out for her when we go to Gass.  Well, I did not go to this cemetery, but Helen put beautiful arrangements on this stone and on Kathy's grandparents stone. I told Kathy today and showed her the photos. There is also a stone for Kathy's Aunt Helen, but Sister Helen said Aunt Helen's stone had a metal angle permanently attached to the flower vase.  Kathy says that is becuase her Aunt Helen was always the one to put flowers on the graves and she knew it would end with her.  It did not end this year thanks to another Aunt Helen.

This is Kathy's grandparents grave marker with Johnny Widners flowers.  We put flowers on his grave also, as his children do not live anywhere neer here, but this year Alice Widner, Johnny's wife died so there were flowers already on their graves.

The two Aunt Helens are two of a kind.

George's Memorial Flowers

Helen made beautiful arrangements for all the grave markers. Thanks Sister.
