Thought of the day

Post by Windcatcher530 Dan »

It's been unusually hot and dry up here in NY. I just came up from watering my veggie garden for the second time today just trying to keep everything alive and worrying about my well going dry. Sitting here on my porch I'm watching mamma robin trying to keep her babies fed thinking how hard that must be trying to find worms as dry as this ground is. Then I realized how easy i have it.!!

Sometimes we just need to look around. Or at least I know I do

We all take things for granted. We learn when those things are suddenly gone, or missing. Or at least we should learn.

Had a similar thought with armadillos at my place. I dislike armadillos because they root and dig holes in my yard, but I also thought they must be having a hard time because the black farmland of my place is like concrete since we’ve had something like less than half, maybe a 1/3 of the rain we typically receive in a year.

Amen to the concrete and the black land. Today with no water we call it concrete, if we ever get water again we call it gumbo. The first rotary drilling rig was invented here in Corsicana. They called it the Gumbo Buster.

Wayne - we might have prairie dogs, like around Lubbock and other parts, if not for a soil.

The same can be said for gophers. Had them in Smith County and also grass burrs, don't have either on my place in Navarro County and I don't miss them.
