Clayton's Pets

Clayton said these are his wild turkeys in the tree in his field. He said he had about 40 of them.


And he has 13 little turkeys in the brooder.





And he has a pet snake under his house. He is a rich man.

Ther rest of the story

This is me and some stranger with mad cow decease that I met on a hill a couple of days ago.

And the rest of the story for Betty Jean. The bonnet and dress are for Kenzie to wear to pioneer days at school. The red headed grandgirl has not really fallen to wearing my garage sale handmedowns from Aunt Fleta.



This is the Powell homestead taken for the top of Morris Hill. Click to enlarge.




This is the four stooges. We had a great time at Patsy's. Winnie and Mike are just a crazy as the rest of us. You can't tell them from the rest of the hillbillies down here.





This is brother Gilbert and his Possum Dog. He got kicked out of the coon hunt last Saturday because she is such a good possum dog.






This is some crazy stuffed animal that Gilbert bought at a flea market somewhere and brought in here telling us his possum dog treed it then he paid $120 to have it stuffed like this. It does not even have a tail. It is certainly not a coon, but does not even look like a good possum. I think brother Gilbert makes up taller tales than any one else in the family.

For Kenzie Girl

This is the bonnet. Click on it to make it larger and you can see better. The flowers are purple with a tiny bit of orange and lots of green with an off white background.

It is in the mail and guaranteed to be there in 3 days.





Then, I thought, I have this old timey dress. It is gauze like material with a bodice that laces up with a string and a very full 2 layer skirt with tie strings in the back. I think with a little work you could get it to fit Kenzie. Your mother says you can soak it in tea to dye it a muslin color. If you want it we can send it today. It only costs $5 to mail it in 3 days (well, they may not count today since it is afternoon, but you would still get it by Saturday. You can not begin to make anything for less than $5. Call me if you want the dress also.

And I bought the dress for $1 at a junk sale years ago so I have already gotten my money's worth out of it.

The old and the new

The gang. I did not try to take portrait photos because I knew I could get good ones from Erin. I have already downloaded all the ones she posted and the ones Betty linked to.



More gang.





All old people.





The babies. Clayton, just like his name sake, is looking for something to eat.







and a new potato from my garden. Helen has gone to Russellville but will be back here tonight. We will have new potatoes tomorrow. If she want peas with them, she will have to buy frozen peas. We do not eat peas very well and I do not have any in the garden.
