JIM'S LITTLE BLOG

[picture from Wickopedia, find the article here]

Our prayers now should be for your daughter, that she may become an honorable woman and be able to lead a normal life. The eighty-eight million would be a big help too, I hope she gets it all.

My other hobbies are wanting to come out of the closet, namely:

• getting my Old Ford V-8 going for the season;
• finding a garage for Mom's Mustang II;
• honing up on my golf (I want to be a little presentable in Scotland [jail again!] later in the spring);
• getting my ham radio station back on the air [I'm making another two meter antenna with the Conroe radio club this evening];
• teaching a Bible class on 1, 2, and 3 John;
• getting my office shipshape if I can;
• doing some doctoring [my health is ok, just little things and checkups needed here and there]; and
• just a lot of other things not mentioned need my attention too.

Those are hobby things besides computers, blogging, and YouTube.

I have work to do too. We have the house fairly well painted and updated inside, now the outside and the yard are beckoning. Mrs. Jim can find some things as well.

Adi and I went for a walk this morning. Mrs. Jim is playing golf with her buds.

We met this lady walking her young one in the perambulator (link to find out what one is). That's always a sure sign of spring!

There were bunches of robins too but they wouldn't stay still long enough for us to get their pictures. I'm sure they didn't know how friendly Adi is or they would have stayed for us.

.

Remember Adi saw her shadow on groundhog day. We just weren't where the groundhogs are or we'd have seen his shadow for ourselves.

.

Texans plants trees on Arbor Day. In Houston Arbor Day is January 27. Karen did that in yuppie style (link).

So did our Houston Chronicle newspaper columnist, Leon Hale (link):

"Here in Washington County, we've haven't had more than two or three mornings this winter that were cold enough to make you want to kill a hog.

If I had a hog to kill here at Winedale, I wouldn't wait past the middle of February to do it. Because I have lost all my confidence that the weather will operate on a seasonal schedule the way it once did.

Remember how we used to have spring in the spring, summer in the summer, fall in the fall and winter in the winter? Now we have 90-degree days in December. Who knows what February might bring?"

.

Our pear trees are budding too. I'll get you a picture when they bloom. Once in a rare while they bloom too early, like last year. Well, these little buggers will just bloom again in that case.

.

.

It seems just like the start of winter a couple of months ago when all their leaves turned red (link to my write-up on that).

.

Remember those red berries on the holly tree in front of the pear tree in the picture before this one? What's left of them are on the ground now, waiting for the birds to eat them, as soon as Adi leaves.

Adi thinks we can take the snow tires off Grandma's Mustang II now.
