random mosses
Apropos nothing, some of the moss that grows under the trees at the fence line.
cure in the shade
My dad mentioned that I probably want to move my bamboo poles out of the sunny spot on the lumber rack. He says with too much sun, they can split. Not only do they become useless, but insects move in.
repair and reuse
One thing we really believe in out here is repairing things that still have use in them. Or even repurposing. Sometimes we get hilarious results. Sometimes we have to try a few times.
macaroni
One pot meals are the ticket here. Featured is a pot of whole wheat macaroni along with summer squash and field peas from my uncle's garden. There's also summer sausage that has been peeled and diced. The sauce is based on tomato soup. This went over rather well.
charming
I'm probably prejudiced but I think this place is cute as hell at night.
windy
It's another hot day, but it's not oppressive. The humidity is a bit lower, but the big factor is wind. There is a beautiful wind coming alternately from the south and the east that is cool and refreshing. We don't even have fans running today.
outdoor kitchen update
The outdoor kitchen is coming along slowly.
not salvageable
This thing was never meant to live outside, and it shows.
equine home theater
One relaxing activity is to sit in the screen tent enjoying the breeze and watching the horses in the pasture.
Pecan Tree Problems
Two limbs came down out of the pecan tree this past week, and now there's one on the roof of the house.
