The trees are in full bloom, the weeds and what little grass Mom has seems to grow in uncontrollable increments with each passing day. I need to do something about it while I still can. With that in mind I got up early so I could go check out the local stores to see if the weedeaters and/or electric lawn mowers were on sale.
Why electric? Because in my estimation they are lighter and easier to use than gas powered ones. One thing I wish I could find is a light weight gas weedeater but they are all very heavy and with my bad back it would put me out for several days and NO, I am not calling Mata Gatos.
Remember that shed that I liked at Home Depot the last time I was there but was closed? It was open today. I really liked it but when I looked at the price the first thing that came to mind was “I could buy ten acres in Terlingua”. Maybe I should get rid of all of my stuff and then I would not have anything to store or transport from Houston to Del Rio.

The flowers at the garden shop in Home Depot and Wal-Mart were absolutely gorgeous and at a good price, but I was strong and decided to pass up on them. Billy Bob I did buy me a folding table like you have but in black so I can go down to the local park and try to see if I can get a better reception when I use my Magicjack, if not I am not going to renew my service. Of course the table will also be used at the next chili cook-off !!
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
I'm think'n Mata Gatos, mom's gardener, would appreciate a brand new mower and weed eater. I'm also think'n there ain't no way to get rid of weeds....even with fire. They always come back.
ReplyDeleteThat shed sure would make a nice starter cabin in Terlingua, but would probably only last a couple years. And like you say, over priced.
Mata Gatos will NEVER get his hands on my future lawn mower or weed eater!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo years ago when you tried salt I tried burning them (before the burn ban) and nope it did not work, they came back and meaner than ever :-(
Was looking for my Hulla Hoe and could not find it. Then I remembered that the last time I saw it was when I went to visit you at the San Pedro Campground and how I forgot to ask you how to properly use it. It has been in the back on dad's now non- working car since then.
