Beck saw this place selling pumpkins on the side of the road and so we went, picked up the kids and went back to play an around and take some pictures of us and the kids with the pumpkins.
Little Elm has a Fall Festival. You know it’s little carnivals that come through that are ran by the social rejects you wouldn’t normally trust a potato gun with, but some how in the spirits of letting kids be kids and have a bit of fun.
We got Ethan, Beck and Britty riding the bucket spin thingy. They were going round and round. Beck got a bit sick, but the good news; she didn’t ‘burple’.
We’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,

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,
Larry Jr.
