Heart Shaped, Shed Chunks, Blockage, You Call Me, Chimes, Fishing, and Oz

Image
Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of heart shaped rocks? Since moving out  to this area, I have found so many. Today, I was at the shed working when I saw this. Also, while at the shed, I looked up and  noticed marks on my  shed. Looking closer I  realized that they were chunks taken out of the  shed, apparently from something being thrown into it via wind. On Friday I got a bunch of little projects done.  I am actually impressed by what I did. I picked out a spot in  the yard, next to the  carport that has issues growing grass so I  went and losened up  dirt in that spot, that is where my wildflowers  are going to grow.  With incoming rain for a couple more days, I  was not planting but I  did want to prepare that  spot. With that done,  I also notice a drainage issues and I knew that my seeds would just wash away when I do plant so I blocked off the area in question. Oops, looking at this pic, I r...

Ruby Slippers, Clear Skies, Looking like a Drowned Rat, and My Stream,

Image
This is what it has felt like for the past two days. But, I don't have ruby slippers. Seriously, I am over these storms, as I am sure a lot of other folks are. We are not done yet  either, not supposed to  let up till Sunday. I know my girls are tired of being put in their carriers and  moving to a safe spot. The pic below was taken on Tuesday night, the  night before the storms  moved in. My thoughts,  the storms will move out and we will have clear skies again.   There was a little time on Thursday morning that it was not raining.  I went out to work on  the weather worn stream  that appears at the tree line when it rains.  I found that my reroute  a couple weeks ago did not take with the amount of rain we have had. So, I went out to reroute the reroute. I widened the sides of the  stream and dug it deeper, banked the mud from what I dug out, on the  sides to prevent the stream from working its way into the yard. I ...

Beach House, Storms

Image
  YES! YES! I would so love this, even without seeing the  inside. Would be the best craft/paint hut. Even the color is great! Wed. evening sitting here  watching the storms moving ./in and flying out. Started earlier than weather folks were prepared for cause the temps got so warm and we started having pop up storms and tornadoes long before the big line comes in. Going to be a long,  long night. The big line is supposed to be here around 2am, Amber is packing, her the boys and the dog will be here to stay the night. Bless her heart, I know she used to be scared to pieces in that trailer before mom moved here. On that note, Braden had a ballgame and hour away today. I was going to take him and I was sitting at the school when Amber called to say, go home. He fell  at school and hurt his wrist, they  had been icing it but it was  swollen. I am sorry about the wrist, but thankful for not going to the game. A tornado was spotted not far from the field an...
