Drive To Work III

Went to get in the truck,HUGE grasshoppers in the dryed out weeds and grass. Some were 3 t0 4 inches long,brown-some were 5to 6 inches,green. Both can fly.Good thing about them is,they'r eating the ragweed! Really gives one a start when they land on your arm while your out on the mower!(Not that there's anything to mow) The cows are standing in the tanks soaking up a little cool,or under what trees there are..All the animals have white shadows ,cattle egrets snapping up the above grasshoppers..No air in the truck or at home so am glad when my 3 day workweek starts! Other days,I come to the library,stay all day...Ranchers are cutting hay..really smells good..All the animals I see on my drive still look good,in spite of the dry conditions..there's still hay to buy,and byers if you can't feed(My Dad used to say"You can't starve a profit out of anything.")..We haven't had any fires yet,at least none out of control,and our resident firebug hasn't made his/hers apperance yet. All is somewhat well here,hope the same for youall..

This is my ride to work, so when its hot and humid out, the top comes down!

I wish my ride to work would seem as exciting as yours, with driving through the farmlands in the surrounding area. But its not. Its only like a 5 mile drive that takes 20 minutes to drive through all the traffic lights in the city to get home!

The only fresh smell I get are the fresh roadkill

well,the skunks and racoons are kinda smelly,but driveing fast with the windows down works....wish I could put photos up,got a great one of a sunflower growing in the bed of my pickup....

My wifes changing the theme of our Kitchen to Sunflowers, anyway to get that picture to me (if it looks good, I might grayscale it and hang it in the kitchen it really needs some type of good photography of sunflowers!)

Wish I could,it's funny...the explanition is ;had some potting soil left over in the truck bed,and the sprout was so healthy I just gouldn't pull it..(real reason,lazy)-----However,it made lots of people laugh,so was worth it..Anything to brighten someones outlook!! Oh,on the kitchen sunflowers,Wally-world{Wal-Mart} down here has nice fabric w/sunflowers,and Country Magazine has a catalog w/lots of stuff.

LOL, I thought my family was the only ones who called it that!

Thats funny with the potting soil!!

way things work around here--I will admit to watering it some.....it was about 5foot tall and very sturdy..had to be to take 60 mph trips down the road..6 blossems at one time ...was really hard for the bees to keep up..
