This and That

As I have said before, we arrive every weekend with a list of routine chores we need to do and some we've decided we want to do.  This week we did the routine and ran out of time for most of what we wanted to do.

First we headed to fill the deer feeder.  Although we haven't had any good pictures lately because of hunting season and the building noises, we still have the feeder running and there are lots of hoof prints around.  I think the last weekend of hunting season was at the end of December but some of the landowners who are working with the Texas Wildlife folks have extended hunting thru January.  As hunting season ends and more of the building noises are inside, I am hopeful of seeing more deer activity soon.

As we drove out through the Oak Grove, we saw some of yesterday's lingering snow fall.  I am well aware of the small amount of snow pictured.  All the Northerners who are reading are probably laughing their heads off.  But even the smallest amount of snow and ice can send Texans into both cries of "Yeah!" and those who drive, into turtles or crazed fiends.

We met with Emily who has agreed to help us with some decorating dilemmas.  Maybe with a third person involved, it will be easier for Peg and I to make decisions.

Progress continues on the house.

We are beginning to think about the logistics of moving in the next few months.  As I am the one who drives the U-Haul truck, my tummy is in a tailspin...
