Green Room...

 

I liked my little green end table so much, I wanted green bedding. The bottom blanket is one I already had. The top quilt is a baby quilt Helen made. No one wanted it. It was always my favorite.

Saturday, home from Sister's

 I went to see Betty Thursday, one year since Sister Helen passed. We had a good visit.  Betty gave me a jar of apple butter. It is surprisingly good.  When I went to put it up,  I decided I had to clean the fridge. It was a chore, but looks much better.

Then, I had to move my many house plants inside because cold weather is coming,  some unknown day.

I neded more tables for the plants. This old typewriter table has been my nightstand.

Now it is a plant table.

This chair is my new place to set my coffee by my recliner. The green table that was here is now my nightstand. I will have to straighten up the rest of my bedroom before I take a picture of it.

This is the rest of the plants in the spare room. Most of these plants are for Christmas presents for the people I work with.

This is Helen's green pitcher with vining sweet potato plants in my bathroom.

I am tired. No more cleaning or planting today.

Sunday blessings

 

Tractor is running and starts with the key, I think.  At least it starts. Yard ornament no more.

Lights

 

I love the little solar outdoor lights. I ordered some from wally world. I sorta over did it. I ordered 8. I have put 3 out and I think that is enough.  I am going to give some to Ada.

I went to see Linda Terherst today. We had a good visit.

Spider day in Carroll County

 

Saturday doings

 

I cut back the rose bushes by my front steps this morning. It looks much better now. Don't plant rose bushes next to a walkway. They reach out and touch you.

This is one of my hummingbird lights.

Lots of lights.

 

God's lights outshines them all.

I have been working on plant starting to give to friends at work for Christmas. My boss will not want a plant to take of so this is her plant. It is glass, very pretty, and easy to maintain.

Friday almost done

 

This was on my plant yesterday. I tossed him out on the yard.

And, Daisy and I saw this on our walk yesterday. We both just side eyed him and passed on by.

This is my new green outfit. Since I only work 4 hours on Fridays now, I decided to dress up. Then., I went to Harrison and got my car serviced. Went to the junk store, stopped at Barry's and got a pizza. Still made it home by 4.

Saturday

 

I walked to Dan's gate and back early.

Then I worked on repotting plants and starting some cuttings. Last year I gave plants to our work group. They were a hit, so I am doing a repeat.

I have been having trouble with my dish network satellite.  It mostly has not worked right for over a month. So, instead of satellite I had dish streaming. And, I can't stream the local channels. I decided to try to reset the satellite today. I got it working right in the bedrooms, but the main TV in the living room would not work at all. Greg got it to working again. So far so good.

Then my watch quit getting notifications from my phone last week. I opened the watch app and got it to work again. I am sure I had accidentally touched something on the watch. Anyway now watch and satellite are working the way I want. Hopefully things will be fine 

Found a horseshoe

 

I have childrens books

 

Huck Fin, 1955.

Gordo, 1955

I am going to give them to Ada.

Much cooler

 It is 82 here now and just a little warmer than that yesterday. I am loving it.

Bought a coffee cup at the thrift store today. It has John 10:10 on it.

I think I will take it to work as long with my pumpkin coaster.

Bobo, Carroll County Arkansas

 

 

James G. Maples homestead record recorded 3 Aug 1882 as Certifiate 3376, application 2751 is described as South fractional half of North East fractional quarter Section 1, Township 18, Range 23 containing 77.44 acres. James G. Maples land marked with blue arrow.  

On September 22 1863, A. B. Maples sold to James G. Maples 37.44 acres described as the South East fractional quarter of the South East fractional quarter of Section 1 Twp 18 range 23 containing 37.44 acres for $420.  On August 17 1870 James G. Maples sold this same 37.44 acres to Nathan Briles for $175. Nathan Briles daughter Martha married Jessie Tom Maples, son of J. G. Maples. The Nathan Briles land is marked in red above as is the Bobo Cemeterey.  If you click on the image to enlarge it, all this is much clearer. 

Bobo Cemetery is located at the Junction of County Road 905 and 920 in Carroll County.  It is just to the North of 920 and to the East of 905 in a field.  Bobo Creek runs just a few yards south of County Road 920 from Carrollton to about 1.5 miles past the junction of 905 and 920.  So, now you know.

A current google map of the Bobo area with approcimate location of J G Maples in blue and the land A B Maples sold to J G Maples marked in red.

Sometime after I graduated high school in 1965 and when she died in 1972, I took Grandma Gertrude Maples Powell up Bobo Mountain to the place her grandfather James Gunter Maples homesteaded land via the 1862 homestead act.  I have land records of that land describing it as the South fractional half of the North East fractional quarter of Section 1, Township 18, Range 23 West.

This is what I wrote on the back of the above photo many years ago.

Kirk Powell's Place

 I went to Harrison Saturday. I saw this.

It looks like he built it himself, rusty tin and all.

Greg's tomatoes.

Alittle rain, a lot cooler

 

I walked at dawn this morning. It sprinkled on me a little, but I persisted and did not melt.

It was much cooler today. I sat in the swing in comfort.

I transplanted my silver falls plant into a smaller pot hoping to make a house plant of it this winter. Not sure it will make it. There was very little root left after I got it out of the big pot. Worth a try anyway. 

And repotted the creeping Jennie. Got more root with this. We will see.

Back to work tomorrow. Our 4 day weeks are over. Two lines even ran Saturday. I am only working 4 hours on Fridays from now on. And, I am no working Saturdays at all. So there.
