Sweet Success X2

This week, the hubs and I both accomplished something we wanted to do. He managed to bag a 19 pound turkey. He's on vacation for two weeks and this will allow him to enjoy the rest of the hunting time because the "pressure" will be off. It amazes me that he can tell you exactly where he was 25 years ago, when he brought down a specific turkey, and what the circumstances were that he was able to call Ole Tom up. How many steps he was from the turkey, how many times he had to call....on every...single...turkey...he's....ever...harvested. He can do the same thing with the deer he's harvested over the years. I still find it hard to believe. His father can do that too. And it's not limited to hunting, he can tell you about every football game he ever played in as well. Who made what play, what was said before the play was called...you name it. Funny how he can't remember when I give him specifics on what I want as a Christmas or birthday gift..... hmmmm.
Here is a shot of Thomas T. Turkey.



Congratulations SR!

I also am on my way to accomplishing a specific goal. I've been wanting some decorative rocks to place around my trees in the backyard for almost a year. I've asked for a palette of rocks as I've mentioned in previous posts, but was not gifted with them. While SR was in Russellville (Hunting) last weekend, he picked up about a half a palette of rocks for me (from the ground and sides of the road...shhh, don't tell anyone) and brought them home. Oh Boy! He even helped me place them around one tree and then brought me good rich dirt from our land in Cleveland county to fill it up, and proceeded to help me plant some azaleas in the dirt. I'm not finished, as I want to add some bedding plants for spring and summer, but I'll have that knocked out in no time. I plan to buy some this weekend. I'll have one tree down and one to go. Here are some photos....

In the beginning......


In progress.....


Almost there....


So, aside from being a bit under the weather this weekend with vertigo, and having a weekend church function, I've been busy working on this. That is why I haven't posted lately.

I have another success story that I will share momentarily and will also share photos of my finished tree project as soon as I get it completed.
