Pear Tomatoes

I love pear tomatoes. I planted red and yellow ones. The red ones always ripen first, then the yellow ones begin....they are stingy, they take so long to ripen, but the golden pear shaped tomato is worth the wait. I plant them in garden containers. The red ones have been very prolific, they have grown over the top of the tub and grown down to the ground, they are loaded with small pear shaped globes. I find my self going out there several times a day, just to pop one in my mouth, hot from the sun, and so tasty. YUM ! They produce just enough each day for the salad or sandwich, and that is it......I faithfully water them and watch them closely. Today the yellow ones finally gave in, and I had four in my hand to go along with a couple handfuls of the red ones. I know I will itch, and probably break out again in hives, but I love tomatoes. I even love tomato jam. Tomatoes on pizza, a tomato sandwich with a little sugar sprinkled over it, nothing else, scooped out and filled with a macaroni salad, put in soups during the winter....I never tire of them.

There is a Snake in my Bathroom !


Benny went into MY bathroom to wash his hands for supper and

came out laughing....."Hon, now don't flip out, but there is a

snake in your bathroom." He knows I cannot stand them....and

there have been snakeskins found in the attic, plus we have had

a few which met their demise in here if I have seen them. "He is

just a bull snake, so don't hurt him, okay?"

  "I am not making you any promises if I see him, I will probably make a hole in the

wall with my silhouette running out of there if I see it..." "Well,

you could give it a little milk every day......warm milk, like my

grandpa used to do when he milked, he kept them out in the

barn and gave them warm milk."  "Well, if you think I am going

to warm milk up for a dumb snake, you have another thought

coming, buddy boy, no way in Hades will I warm milk up for

that creepy crawler," He now tries to appeal to me to be kind to

the snake...."He will catch mice, and he won't chew up any

clothes. " He keeps laughing, I finally get a flashlight and go

into the bathroom, I hunted everywhere but could not see the

snake. "He just laid up there on the sink, then slithered over the

handles on the sink when I washed my hands, he was about

two feet long"....."Oh dear Lord, sometimes you send me trials I

will really have to pray hard about.......You know I cannot stand

snakes, Lord, even if you made them......and look what that one

did in the Garden, Lord, You even made him crawl on his belly

the rest of his life.....and all of his kin included, and Lord, just

have mercy on me and do not let me close to that creature !" I

have had some good talks with the Lord, and I hope He answers

my prayers, and that snake finds a good exit route out of my

bathroom !

Downsizing the Hard Way

 
This has been a tough week for me....DH found my neutered goat, HoHO, dead inside the barn, as if he was coming out the gate and just was gone.....that was three days ago. This morning I went out to feed JayJay and Cookie Face, and JayJay was laying dead on the ground. I buried her, covered her good with lime, but amid the tears, I had to tell myself, maybe it was old age....they were at least eight years old. However, the oldest and crippled ones, I have two of them yet, are even older. They are just pets now, over the years they provided good milk and beautiful babies, so they are just enjoying the last of life's journey in the pasture now. They hobble around, but seem to be in no pain, and enjoy life. Cookie Face has cried most of the day, she misses JayJay, which was her mother. I figure Cookie is about 6 years of age now. I hate to loose anything, but the day does come when we have to say goodbye. I look for the two old pigs to go anytime, they are REALLY OLD ! I am not going to replace any, I am getting too old myself. I just really feel sad tonight. I lost my pals, they brought me so many laughs. I will just enjoy the stories you write about yours,and keep the memories alive.

Pigs are funny !

I have been busy cleaning out the freezer today....one pile for the pigs, one pile for the cats. I took out a bucket of food to the barnyard where Suzi Pig was waiting for me, and sat the bucket down. I went back out this evening, to make sure I turned the water off the sweet potato plants, and heard her piggy noise, but she sounded different. Sure enough, she had backed herself into a corner, she had the feed bucket stuck on her head, the handle had slipped back behind her ears and she was so mad !  I got her out of her situation, then had to laugh at her as she sashshayed back to the barn.

Farewell to an OLd Goat

Benny came in the house to inform  me he had found my goat, Ho Ho, deceased. He was laying inside the barn, right by the gate. Just yesterday, I thought he looked so tired and old as I passed by him to do my barnyard chores. I gently reached down and rubbed his nose as I walked out the barn yard. For us, it would be the last farewell. He was so special to me. He came to us on a cold wintery night, and was totally unexpected. I had a doe due anytime, and had been out checking on her frequently that Christmas Eve night. Sometime after midnight, I woke up and went outside to check on her, but could not see her. The flashlight was being stubborn, and after a few good whacks, I gave up on it ever lighting again. I could hear a baby goat crying so weakly, but could not locate it. I could not find my doe, Ditzy,  I kept walking around in the dark and feeling with my hands .....I think I know every tree, feeder, tub, on the place. I finally gave up, and started out the gate....I heard the sound again, and feeling around my feed barrels, outside our gate, I found him.....his umbilical cord was still attached...how in the world did he come to my place ? He was so cold, I brought him in the house, doctored him as well as I could, yelled for Benny to come help me, and we began rubbing him with warm blankets. Surprisingly, he made it through the night. He was not like my Nubians, he was a Spanish goat, and was pale tan in coloring. He took to the warm bottle I offered him quickl;y, and since it was Christmas Eve, we named him HO HO. The next day, Ditzy had the twins, which we named Jingle Bell and Noel. So we began the season with three babies, and how they grew, what joy they brought into our lives, and now, years later, it was time to say farewell to my dear frind. I tried to get outside the house without Benny seeing me....I would dig his grave myself, he would be buried in the barnyard he loved, but in a few minutes, he was beside me digging as well. HO HO now sleeps forever, he can still be around his friends, Cookie Face and Jay Jay. They have cried more than ususal this week, I know the girls will miss him....he was such a hog at feeding time, demanding they stay back until he had his fill. It is strange how we get attached to some of our critters, they are like family, and I tend to wipe the tears away at times. He had a good life, he was dearly loved, and he will be missed.

We never did find out where he came from that night......we live on a farm to market road and the highway is dangerous to animals.. The barnyard gate is less than fifty feet from the highway. We figure he may have heard our goats and just followed down the fences. It is still a mystery. Benny believes someone just dumped him out, knowing we would take him in as our own.

Practical Joker Time

Today Benny went down to the lake to help out a friend.
His school buddy, Wayne, had a problem with his toilet,
so since Benny does plumbing, he went down to help him.
Wayne took Benny to lunch, and the practical joker that
he is, he ordered, then told the waitress that Benny
could not read, and the waitress READ THE MENU TO
BENNY   !!!   I told him they better have left that
girl a BIG tip ! Benny said he was so surprised, he could
not open his mouth, so he and Wayne sat there like two
teenagers and giggled about it.....I have had to laugh to
myself all day since Benny told me about the joke Wayne
played on him. He assured me the tip was worth the laugh.

Racoon Scare

Last night I decided to try to let Boogie Bear spend the night outside in his dog house, one attempt has been unsuccessful so far, so another try......and again to no avail. About 12:30 AM he was barking up a storm by the gate, so I put on my shoes, got his leash, and went outside to bring him in the house. There is a small entryway between our house and Benny's old shop where he stores plumbing supplies and some equipment. As you go down the entry way to the gate to let the dog out of the yard, there is a big deep freeze on the right. It does not work, but we use it for storage. On top of this is a box with a lid that has been used on the truck, and we store dog food, and birdseed in it. Directly above the deep freeze are two big screened windows, and one has the screen torn almost in half........I turned on a small light as I made my way down this small area, and noticed the lid was up on the dog food box. I quickly closed the box, and then I called Boogie to the gate, leaned down and opened it, and as I was leaning over and snapping on his leash, this HUGE racoon came through the window growling and hissing at me, I almost had a heart attack. I slowly began to back up, still leaning over, and pulling Boogie along with his leash. The racoon began to come after us, and I was dragging that poor dog as fast as I could, I know he must  have road rash on his feet, and the racoon was hissing at us.....YIKES.......I came around the corner so fast, I almost fell, the racoon still in pursuit of us, and thankfully the electronic lights came on, the racoon stopped and ran under the house. We were both out of breath as we came inside the house. I will let Benny go get him tonight. I don't like being scared in the dark !

May

Here we are into the month of May. I laugh each night as I clean off the blackboards at work, the kids make an entry every day.....18 days of school left........Thank goodness. I hope I last that long. Seems the days are going by so fast....the flowers are all blooming in the yard, I love them. I have had so many surprises. I planted poppies last year, just scattered the seed, and I have the most beautiful orange, red, and pale pink ones, then I had scattered what I thought was Carnations, and the beautiful, willowy plants came up, but they were Batchelor Buttons. Gorgeous, I love them. The squash plants are blooming, the Egyptian Onions I planted last year are growing, and now have scapes on them, with new little onions popping out....I will try to get those replanted. I set one of the Silkie hens, but the eggs were not fertile....a wasted 21 DAYS of work for the hen. I gave her a week rest, and reset her, so she is now happy again. Hopefully, the new eggs will hatch. The stray cats have had kittens, think we have about eleven or so, scattered here and there. I get a look at them, then they are moved to a new location by the Momma .Old Hoppy, the one legged chicken, is still alive and learning to hop around, she just has a nub where her leg was, I wrote about buying them from a neighbor months ago.....she is the only one that is alive. They were really old hens. She is a fighter, and with antibiotics, she made it. The dogs had torn her leg almost off. Everything else is about the same....just work, and more work...can't wait till school is out and I can putter in the garden.

The Midnight Howl

I decided the other night that I would leave Boogie Bear outside all night.....he is big enough to sleep in his igloo doghouse, but refuses to do so. I have his favorite blanket in there, plus have to coax him to go inside by feeding him dinner at times in the doghouse. Usually, I bring him inside about 10 PM or a little later, and get ready to go to bed. He has his own doggie bed by my bed, and will curl up in it. He is quiet until about 5 AM, and then he wants to go outside. One night he tried to get me out of bed three times to go visit the cat, Zero. Okay, now we are going to spend the night outside by ourselves....LOL....or so I thought. I woke up at 12:30 AM to the worst howling of a broken hearted little black fur ball....he just kept adding arias onto his wail...owwww ....wooooooow.....wooooow. I finally gave up, put on my slippers, and went outside and brought him inside. He went to bed and stayed there. I have not attemped to keep him out all night yet, but with summer nights, he will be having to stay outside. I may have to put my blanket in the doghouse !

Buzzzzz at the Hummingbird Feeder

I hung up the feeder several days ago, have not seen any yet, but know they are around. Went out to the garden to water, and kept hearing the bzzzzzz sound, looked up, and the bees were all over the feeder....guess they are hungry, or maybe getting ready to swarm. I did not stay around to ask them what kind they were....LOL....I did not want to make a trip to the Dr. I remember the African Bee attack to the neighbors down the street a couple years ago, and that was terrible. I am very wary of bees, try to leave them alone, or view them from a distance. Many times when I water,they are thirsty,and come to sip. I respect them, however, no bzzzzzzz about it !

The NIghtly Visitors

I smile to myself every morning about 5:30 AM when I take Boggie Bear out and put him in the back yard for the rest of the day. He knows he will get breakfast at that time, and the birds will get food in the feeder. I smile when I walk by the old chest that sits by the freezer. It is open.  The visitors have been here again......has to be racoons....every morning, the lid is up on the box, they rummage through all the empty boxes, sometimes getting into the bird seed. I had to put the dog's food in the freezer to keep them out of it. This morning, they had unscrewed the lids off the plastic jars I keep the cat food in on the porch. They are such smart little critters. No, I am not going to get rid of them, they are not bothering me at all....except when they clean the cat food in the water fountain, that can be a mess. They have a right to live as well. I have caught a look at them once or twice when I shined a light at some noise on the porch long ago. I now have the porch fenced off ....half is now a huge cage for my cats, who are very content and love it out there. Life is simple, and the leaves are showing on the trees. The Iris have bloomed, Spring has finally arrived !

Another Freeze

We are looking for a freeze tonight and tomorrow night...will Spring ever get here with warmth and new growth ? We rushed out to the garden after church tonight to cover up what few veggies are left...a few peppers, a few tomatoes, and a couple zucchini......the strawberries look good, they enjoy the cold. I covered the cherry tree with a blanket, maybe the blooms will survive the freeze. I had a huge crop last year...one whole red cherry....LOL...I picked collard greens so they will be for dinner tomorrow with smoked pork chops and corn bread.....of course you have to sprinkle jalapeno sauce all over the top of those greens !

The Old Pick-Up is Running !

Will wonders never cease ! Got the old pick-up out of the shop....think every piece in it is new, but it is running and doing pretty good. Took and had it registered today, then off to Cisco to have it inspected for the inspection sticker. The guy here in town that did them said that he doesn't make any money doing inspections so he just stopped doing it...Bummer.....must be nice to pick and choose your work. Called old "Grandpa's" and they were still doing them, so we took it over there, also had new windshield wipers put on...knew they were needed, but decided to let him have the business since he is nice enough to inspect trucks/cars for people. Now I am legal.....drove it to work today...nice change...automatic....no changing the gears ! Helped my old shoulder feel better anyway,. Now, we have to have the wheel bearings packed with grease, that is scheduled for Wednesday....but I am blessed....it RUNS !!! It needs a good washing...the windows are still dusty...the old truck has scratches and dings all over it....I will save up now so I can get a new paint job done on it....It will all work out......hope I get good gas mileage...will have to wait and see, check it out....they even fixed the air conditioner and I needed it ON today...

The Frost is on the Tomato

Well, after two nights of low temps, 27 and 28 degrees, the tomato plants were gone...some of the squash did not make it either, their leaves looked fair, but now are all curled up, so it will be another trip to Taste of Texas to buy some new plants......wish I had time to just start them in my greenhouse myself, but when you work all the time, you don't get much choice. The weather is so strange this year, but we need to be thankful for the blessings we do have, and the warm days make up for the cold ones, and soon we will have only warm, then only HOT...then I will be wishing for Cold again. Seems we are never satisfied. The trees are leafing out...I enjoy looking up and seeing the nests were the squirrels have been, or the birds as well, where they have quietly watched us, and we could not see them. I love the squirrels, they give the birds fits when they land on the branches by the feeders, you see the branch bend down, then up it goes, and you know the squirrel is there, the birds are fussing, and he just eats to his hearts content and doesn't care.The racoons continue to come each night and go through my feed box, but I have stopped putting the dog food in there, so now they only find a piece of bread or some bird seeds. The box lid is up every morning, so I know they have visited. The water fountain in the front of the house was really messy, I could not figure it out at first, then realized the racoons were washing the dry cat food in the fountain, and dropping the feed in there, making a mess, but I got it all cleaned out this week....by accident....I forgot I left the water running in it and it really was nice and clear after hours of running...but the flowers also got a drink, and the rose bushes, so it all works out......

The Radar is Quiet Tonight

Storm clouds began to come in early this morning...dark, hanging low, ominous looking at times. Soon after dinner,the rains began, very heavy, soaking rains, which we need for this dry land. The fires have continued all through the past week, in spite of a few showers, and many acres of grassland has gone up in smoke. Burn bans have been in effect, then lifted, only to be posted again within a 24 hour period. The phone rang, and daughter Debra was talking in her excited tone.."Mom, there is a tornado in your area....be careful !".....the scanner kept reporting tornado warnings all around, the winds were up quite a bit, but nothing was swirling around, Benny went out and checked the cloud formations. Lightening was popping around, and then the sirens in town went off, and the TV kept telling everyone in our area to "go to your safe place"...so I grabbed Boogie and we headed into the bathroom area...the only area in the center of the house, no windows, and I thought to myself, "we went through this years ago and lost most of our big trees and part of the roof was pulled up, I remember looking out the door, seeing electric lines hanging loose all over, and I could see under the roof of our house, the nails were still there, it was like a giant plunger had just gently lifted up part of the roof and left it that way. At that time, rain was pouring all in the house, what a mess, down the walls, down the fireplace...at least today was quiet, just a rain storm.Soon all was calm, just rain running down the streets in torrents, the barnyard was very messy, but no hail. Now they are saying we could have some snow Saturday and a freeze Sunday. I knew we should have waited for the signs to plant...the mesquites (the old ones) are not out yet and I have not seen a scissortail. Many do not plant until April 10th but the weather has been so beautiful and everything is in bloom...yes, Mother Nature is fooling around and flirting with us this year....I could kick myself......listen to the old timers....wait, be patient, wait for the scissortails and old mesquites to leaf out....at least the trees got watered ! I am an old timer...why didn't I listen to myself !

In the Garden With Boogie

Wow....what an exciting week for me....Dad plowed the garden, and finally, he let me in the gate after he got off the tractor......I ran, and I ran, and I ran....all over the garden...then he decided to plant some tomatoes and peppers....I tried to help...I tried to dig the holes to put them in, but he just didn't think that was such a great idea, so then he decided to water them...I learned to chase the water down the ditch ! Wow...what fun I had, I got muddy, and I splashed water and dirt everywhere..You should have seen my nose...Mom laughed at me, she thinks I am just the greatest dog  there is around here. Dad still lets Maggie Moo and Run-Around- Sue in my area when he cleans their pen. I tried to run and play with them, but they are bigger than me, and not too playful. I love to go in the house with Mom...we have animal crackers ! O how I love them...Mom usually drinks hot cocoa but she won't let me have any of it...I have tried, though, but then she will make me just sit....and of course, I get a cookie...I am really a smart dog ! Cookies...cookies..cookies....I just wish she would let me have the whole bag !

Boogie's First Vet Visit

Today was another busy day, so much going on...it was the day to take Boogie Bear to the Vet, the day to get all the tax information to our CPA, our daughter-in-law came by to visit, and we lost a good friend.
Boogie hesitated about getting into the dog carrier in the old pick-up. He was not a happy camper. He had to be shoved in and the door locked, then he looked at me with such a pathetic look on his face. I pulled the carrier door up close and shut the tail gate on the truck. I opened the window at the back of the pick-up and talked to him....did little good...and down the road we went...almost 35 miles later, we pulled up to the Vet's office. He was ready to get out. He had to stop on the way in, water the grass, and then we were inside the office. He was being very good, he was on his leash, and when I told him to sit, he minded me. He looked up as a family brought in a cat. He is used to them, he did not even bark, but when the cute little dog came in, he let her know he was there...LOL...then it was our turn to go in and set him up on the table...he weighs 25 pounds, estimated he is six months old, maybe some Lab in him. He got his rabies shot, a booster shot ( I had already given him his Parvo one) and next came his nails. His nails were trimmed and he licked the vet's fingers, he laughed at him. We had him checked to see about having him neutered, yep, they were there, he gave the vet a strange look and looked at me like I could not be thinking such a thing....next, he had to swallow a pill to be dewormed which he did without any problem, and lastly, he got his heartworm meds for the next six months. Back into the box he went, while we had to go to the CPA. He was totally unhappy with us, but we were not in there very long, everything was ready, gave our CPA all the paperwork, and he will call when it is ready. Since we are carrying most of the renters, Benny asked if we could use them for dependents this year, but he laughed and said we could not. My little renter was in tears the other night, afraid she would have to move, but we reassured her we are all in this together, rent or no rent, we would not turn them out, we would work with them. We will have a big garden, so we will all make it one way or the other. I love them like they were my own kids. They work so hard, and their work has really shut down the last couple months. I feel times will get even worse in the months ahead. By the time we got home, Boogie Bear was drooling all over the place, just anxious to get out of the carrier. He was so happy to get back to his fenced yard. Then the neighbors came over, they had a loss in their family, they lost a sister, so we told them to not worry about anything, we would pick up the paper, the mail, did they need us to take the dogs, but they already had them placed. The daughter-in-law came by to visit for awhile, we had lost another friend, and she was with the family at the Funeral Home. We offered our house across the street to any of them that needed it, so they could rest up, or stay the night, but they had a place up at Abilene, got in the house and the phone has messages, one asking for prayers for a friend who had a 4-wheeler accident and thought he was okay, but just kept feeling worse, so today he went to the ER and they diagnosed him with a bloodclot in the brain. Yes, it has been a very busy day, and will be another one tomorrow with a funeral to say good-bye to a friend. Our time here is shorter and shorter, the days go so fast, and as it says in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam....The moving finger writes,and having writ moves on...neither piety nor wit can lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all thy tears erase a word or it.....

New Recipe

Tomorrow is third Sunday at church, and we eat a common meal together, or "Shake salt together" as they used to say. I found a recipe I will make and it sounds so good........and a new use for tortillas as well....one of my favorite things to eat, in fact, we had burritos for breakfast.
Deep Dish Pizza Redux
 or my way....
TORTILLA PIZZA
7 large ten inch flour tortillas
2 1/2 cups of shredded Cheddar Cheese
3 cups of shredded Mozzarella Cheese
2 cups prepared pasta or pizza sauce
3 slices of deli- sliced ham, smoked turkey, or your favorite sandwich meat, chopped fine
1 small yellow onion, very thinly sliced
1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
9 slices of Pepperoni, finely chopped
3.8 oz. can of sliced black olives
3 TBSP of jarrred jalapeno pepper slices
Heat oven to 350 degrees.Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside 1/2 cup of each cheese to use on the last tortilla at the end.
Place one tortilla in the center of the baking sheet. Spoon 2-3 TBSP of the sauce evenly over the tortilla. Spread about a third of the deli-sliced meat over the sauce. Top with a third each of the onion and pepper.Sprinkle a bit of each cheese over the vegetables, then place the second tortilla over the toppings.Gently press the tortilla with your hands  to lightly compress and flatten it. This helps the tortilla and fillings to stack evenly.
Spoon another few TBSP of sauce over the tortilla, then top with a third each of the pepperoni, black olives and jalapeno slices. Top with more cheese, then another tortilla, pressing it gently into place.Repeat with remaining ingredients, alternating the fillings for a total of 6 layers (3  of each), gently pressing the stacked tortillas and fillings before adding each new layer. Top with a final tortilla, a bit more sauce and the reserved cheese.
Bake on the center rack for 35 minutes, check frequently during the final 5 to 10 minutes, to ensure the top does not burn. If the top seems to be browning too quickly, tent it with a piece of aluminum foil.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it stand for five minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut the pizza as you would a pie.

Pick-Up to the Shop

Well, they picked up the old blue pick-up that has been under the shed forever, and I am having a rebuilt engine put in it and getting it fixed up. I miss my Ford so much, it is hard to settle on this old one, but it is still a Ford, so I will have it repaired,and will not have any car payments. I cannot stand payments, I try my best to be debt free, but it is hard to do. I am anxious to see how long it takes...I asked Stacy if he could paint a truck...he laughed and said he might try to do one...so maybe I will have a robin egg blue truck for Spring.
It continues to rain, the trees are budded out, some are blooming, and may get their bloomers frozen off if the temps drop much lower. I want to cast flower seeds out after the rains have stopped, but I am still afraid of frost or a freeze until the mesquites have come out and I see the first scissortail. The purple martins have arrived... I have still not seen a single one in the new bird house we put up last year...will just have to wait and see. I know the sparrows will always take over if they can, so some bird will have a nice condo.
Boogie Bear, the pup, will go to the vet next week for his rabies shot. I am going to ask the vet if she can cut the chicken killer out of him ! He killed one of my favorite hens this morning and he knew he was in deep doo doo. He hid most of the day. I was very upset with him. I figure the hen had tried to eat out of his feed bowl, and he is very selfish, so she got her head lobbed off. Poor chicken. I cannot win at times.
We are on Spring Break from school, so I will have a week to try to get some cleaning done, work on my craft shop, and just sit on my rear.... and maybe read a good book.
