Brittany’s 18th Birthday!

It’s 18 years in the making. Brittany is 18. She’s legal and dangerous. We went to a friends house close to South Fork Ranch to have some grub, fun and water…

We had some fun, sang some birthday songs and swam like the indigenous Texas rocks.

Our Garden @ 3 weeks

imageWe’ve had 3 tomatoes come off, but they are only  the size of a golf ball.

The squash, cucumbers and jalapeños are coming in pretty good.

I’m keeping the garden watered and waiting to see how the bell peppers do.

I’ve to admit it’s getting warmer and I’m kinda’ worried about the Texas heat beat’n he heck out’ta my plants.

If it gets too bad, I’ll be building a small green house type cover with holes in it to let the water through, but mostly to block the direct sun…

 

Until next time,

Day at the Duck Pond

Today we had fun at the local duck pond! It is a really pretty pond surrounded by some really old trees. Ethan had a great time chasing the ducks! Brittany & Becca were just trying to keep Ethan from running into the pond!

We even got to see the newest members of the pond, some baby ducks…….

Todo, we didn’t make it to… we’re okay and still here.

This past week we had some excitement. We had a tornado strike down in Frisco TX. Britty told me there was some bad weather comin’ in, but… I didn’t think much of it as it was nice when I drove in from work.. but…

I was out back and really quick the weather got bad and I went to grab the video camera… the skies went from nice and clear to dark and very windy.

I managed to get a few videos.

This is while the tornado was coming.. the winds were pickin’ up and startin’ to throw stuff around the yard and the rain was startin’ to com in sideways.

 

I tried to save the gazebo, but it didn’t make it. The winds picked it up and slammed it to the ground.. gone was the daily shade maker. bye bye.

 

The winds were still kickin around and the signs and trees around the ‘hood were flapping back and forth…

 

This is the weird sunset after the twister was gone. Every thing was clear and the skied were this orange’y glow.. the camera doesn’t do it justice.. but…

 

Everyone is okay, a few things broken, but we are just fine.

 

Until next time,

Ethan shows off new tomatoes

So the garden is growing and Ethan likes watering it any time we are outside. On a random moment he starts talking about tomatoes and that they are growing and that they’re turning colors.

I tried to catch it.

 

Until next time,
