Rodeo Days

Saturday was amazing weather wise. A certain change from our constant drizzly cold weather with the frequent torrential downpours we have been having.   A great day to work in the yard or on the farm an even better day to take in the local rodeo.     Those of us here at Vicktory Farm and Gardens aren’t extreme rodeo fans, we don’t … Continue reading »

So There You Have It

Mom was right.  My brother, Uncle Chrissy to my girls, and I used to do silly things.  One of the silly things we used to do was flip our eyelids inside out.  We got so good at it that in a moment’s notice and quick as a flash we could have both lids on both … Continue reading »

Work, Work and More Work

The girls have been weeding garlic and onion beds.  The onion beds are the hardest, they are infested with clover.  But the onions are looking great in spite of the slight encroachment on their space.  The girls have been trying to keep up with the ornamental beds as well.  I do have a tendency to … Continue reading »

Grandboys! and a New Member of the Crew

Thought I’d better get this up before all this is old news too.  We have another game to go to this evening after we go in and help the Stones, Mike and Michelle, with some yard work stuff that is starting to make Chelle feel all defeated like.  I know how that feels.  So before … Continue reading »

Signs That are Signs

All of last week was amazing.  The four days Dirt and I spent in Leavenworth taught me a lot and brought many new things into my life.  Our drive home was filled with deep, good, even, conversation between us.  Usually Dirt drives, Lanny yaps, but this trip was different, it was like having caramel sauce … Continue reading »
