Were you related to Jack Benny? But he made it all the way to 39.

No, Bird. He was before my time!

We used to have those sorry bikers in the west end of Navarro County a couple of times a year. So you could expect to get behind a bunch who very expertly spaced themselves to prevent any motor vehicles from passing for 10 to 15 miles.

Actually had a small sprinkle, didnt amount to anything, but I called mowing the yard anyhoo:laughing: Looks like Jim may get the same one, but It looks bigger now.

Ya know, this mowin' stuff is a goin' 'roun'. It must be one of them vy-ruskies that we all catch in the summer. I spent the better part of the mornin' mowin' my little piece o' heav'n right after I watered my beans, snow peas, and onions. I haven't watered my yard since the last rain and it still looks great. If I don't get a shower today, I'll probably have to sprinkle some tomorrow.

I picked half a big coffee can full of cherry tomatoes this morning and a few just ripening big tomatoes. I hate to take a chance that the critters will get my first ripe fruit, so I brought them into the house to ripen on the window sill. In the next couple of days, I'll have a super fantastic almost the size of my fist, but you just can't beat the flavor of cherry tomatoes. We have so many squash right now that we are in heavy give-away mode to neighbors and relatives. Heck! The real production hasn't even got started.

Tomorrow is Father's Day and bean pickin' day. My wife parboiled and put 12 quarts of beans and snow peas in the freezer yesterday. The heat is hard on the snow peas, but blackeyes love the heat. I saw my first blooms on my blackeyes this morning. They are putting out runners like crazy and growing like gangbusters.

EDIT: I just looked at the radar because I heard rumbling. I'm gonna run out and roll the windows down in car so it will work as a rain magnet. There's a nice little shower coming up from the south that might drop some lawn-water here if it holds its current track.

Jim, I gt exactly 1/2" of rain from that storm and it's bigger now as it heads your way. Get the recliner out on the porch, you'll love it

I don't think it helped my rain chances.

It flattened out and I just got a few hundredths of an inch. It looks like more is on the way, but so far it's west of FG19 and you. It's all good this time of year, but I'm not even remotely close to half an inch.

You have the basic steps, but there is more to it than that. You forgot to add the hip action and the twirl! :laughing:

I don't even know what that means.. someone is going to have to show me..:laughing:Lou

I can do that, Lou! If there's music, I'm probably dancing! (And if there is none, sometimes I just dance to the song in my head!) :laughing: :cool2:

So far, the stuff west of me has too much of a northerly track to get to me. But as long as it is there, there is a chance it could move just a little more easterly. (Come here, little rain shower. Come and see me!)
