Girls from the south, todays moments by Calista

     Don’t you realize you live in the south when, your mom is painting the front doors  turquoise one second, then washing dishing and jamming out to old classic music people have not heard in twenty years. Growing up in a small town in east Texas has definitely been a blessing. I mean who else would not want to grow up in a small town were there is nothing but a couple of churches, a small country school, and a gas station our two. Unless you want to drive 45min to town.  I have always been able to talk to people, my mom has been sure of that, we have always been involved in something, and i am not talking ballet our gymnastics.  No there idea of a hobby was lets give a five year old a rifle and see what happens. But hay i learned more about life sitting in a  deer stand from sunrise till sunset then i would ever in a room full of little girls learning how to turn in perfect circles. I have patients for a few things and stupid people are not one of them. Even though I live in a small town does not mean by any means spared the people who believe thinking with your head that the lord gave you is such a good idea. Like no I do not go home and ride cows, I have only done that once, for about .5 seconds, and no I don't kill  Bambi, I kill his daddy.

An Afternoon Midweek Ride Inbetween the Rain Showers This Week.

It has been raining on and off all week.  It makes it hard to get the horses exercised, but don't let my husband Billy hear me complain at all!  Rain helps the grass in the hay pastures grow!  Those hay pastures are always on his mind.  

They always seem to be saying secrets, I think they are talking about me.

Love the Spring time in East Texas

We have been keeping a close eye almost daily on our Wild Plum Trees.  We love these tasty little treats.  We some how missed them last year, I guess it is a short window to harvest them.  We wont miss it this year.  We are checking on them almost daily, in between rain showers.  Waiting till the time is just right to pick them.

You don't want to pick them to early because they wont be too tasty then.  They will be horrible actually.  You have to pick them at the right time. 

The Wild Hogs love these Wild Plums too.  They will rub up against the trunks of the trees and shake the plums down to the ground to eat.  You know it is the hogs doing it because the trunk of the trees are full of mud of where they have been rubbing and the ground is all rooted up. They haven't started it yet, I guess they are waiting on the plums to be ripe too.   

We will go for a ride and go check on the progress tomorrow.
