Groceries getting low

Monday began with helping Marvin feed the cows then I had a meeting with Eugene Bruner who will be renting a part of the Wyrick farm this year.

Jerry has been telling me for several days that we were running low on groceries and that her list was getting longer so we went to Wal-mart in the afternoon. She gave me half of the list and we loaded two baskets before checking out. I bought some more 22 shells just in case we have any more varmints around the homestead.


Our little car was overloaded even before the baskets were empty. At the time of this shot the basket was still half full!



Cleburne was decorated for Martin Luther King day today. These flags were lining the street by the city hall and greeted us as we came over the overpass on highway 67. There were probably 75 to 100 flags in this one block stretch. The rest of the downtown area had a flag on every parking meter. It was pretty impressive.





I just returned from a grass fire on the Auburn pasture by the cattle guard on E P Dawson road. Fred Smith saw the fire about 10 pm and said there were car lights leaving the scene. The fire started on the north side of the cattle guard and was burning into a strong north wind so did not travel very fast. Also we have had a little light rain today which increased the moisture in the dead grass. It only burned about 150 feet out into the pasture.

Maypearl responded with 4 brush trucks and did a good job staying until all the cow patties were extinquished. Jeff took a picture with his cell phone but had to go to bed so I will send a picture maybe tomorrow night.
