Lovely day

Such a pretty day today. We went for a drive in the country, pass our old home and in that general area. Also we went further out to see how the new crops are doing. Saw onions and alfalfa, but that was all. Things are planted, but we couldn't make out what they are. Also, saw a new Pecan field. New Mexico grows more pecans than any other state. It once was Georgia, but Atlanta has grown by leaps and bounds and that whole area was pecans. Texas is second in pecan production.

We have various errands to run tomorrow so we will be out and about. Just now I have a cake in the oven, so I had best be checking on it. It is a chocolate layer cake, and I am going to frost it with white cream cheese frosting. :-)

Have a good Monday!

keyboard messed up.

Yesterday I decided to wash my keyboard. I didn't put it in water, but I did spray it with windex. Apparently my keyboard preferred to be dirty because it would not work after cleaning, so I had to go buy another. I hope my old one works once it is completely dried out. Who knows??

That idiot Bill Richardson says that every day he talks with the Presidente of Mexico and has been promised 100 federales on the border in the town of Palomas, Mx. The Border Agents say that no troops have arrived even though Richardson insists that they had been sent. I think the Border Patrol ought to know if Mexican Troops are there!

What's for dinner?? I have some cajun Boudain Sausage, and, some stir-fry veggies. Also, I think a few french fries would go good, hmmm. Quick and easy stuff! We have ice cream for desert, that's what Floyd likes and I will have some conchas.

I'm going to finish my books by Carolyn Hart and return them to the library tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to find Stuart Wood's latest. Also, I am going to look for Diane Mott Davidson's latest culinary mystery. The books about sleuth Goldy Schultz are very entertaining and contain some really great recipes. My other favorite culinary sleuth, is Faith Fairchild, written by Katherin Hall Page.

Tomorrow

So tomorrow is April 1st. Floyd has an appointment with his eye doc in the morning but that's all we have planned. We are currently experiencing Spring winds. They are out of the west and the southwest, so they are warm and that's what we care about. We have a bunch of junk out front of our house and the city promised to come pick the stuff up but so far they haven't showed. When we need a special pick-up, we call and I called them Friday but so far no show. We just have a bunch of stuff that has accumulated through the years and not worth anything, you know, just taking up space.

About three months ago our deep freeze just quit working, so we have been looking for another and found one at Diamond Furniture here in Deming. Every time I shop, I miss my freezer because when we find good deals, our little freezer in our fridge is just not large enough to shop in bulk. Not only do freezers pay for themselves over time, but it saves many a trip to the store and with gas prices being what they are, that's important. We are putting it in lay-a-way, waiting for our tax rebate. What are you all planning to do with your rebate?? Bush says "spend it", so that's what we are going to do.

Gotta go take care of my laundry since floyd just walked by and said "just so you know, both of your machines have stopped", lol.

New Birdbath

Floyd said this morning, "I'm going somewhere and I will be back soon". I kind of figured he was getting a haircut. He gets haircuts when he has no hair. Anyway, he was back in about 20 minutes and he brought back a nice concrete birdbath! I love it. We have it in our backyard and when our Mulberry tree gets all filled out, it will look great. We have it between our Mulberry Tree and our Plum Tree.

We found pine cones on all but one of our pine trees! Our trees are still babies but are about 12 feet tall. Duke loves to play with and chew on pine cones. :-)

Planting Trees!

Today we went to Walmart and purchased two peach trees. Floyd did all the work and planted them and fertilized them. They are cute. One is an Elberta Peach and one is a California Peach. We planted them back of the Dog Run where our vegetable garden use to be. Maybe next year we will have peaches!

Our next door neighbors have guests. They came in a large Motor Home and Floyd had to help them as the man didn't know how to park the thing, lol.

Nothing else new around here. We love these nice days and we are predicted to have a week of warm weather, yea!

HAPPY EASTER

First Day of Spring

Well, it's official:
