Gotta get back to the country...

Just kidding of course but we have been working our tails off.

Yesterday morning we power washed the front porch. Now this isn't any front porch. It's the length of the house and has gingerbread railings top and bottom. Thanks to the internal combustion engine that is connected to a pump it made this chore a lot easier. (power washer)

Judy offered to fix lunch but I wanted to try a place I've been hearing about for quite some time in Tomball. I'm sure glad we tried it. Mel's Diner...dang was it good. Honest to goodness fresh veggies. We got there after one and had to wait a while and when we left a little after two they were still coming in. They have peoples names and numbers written on the walls and of course been the inquiring mind that I am I had to ask. Its names of people that have eaten the Mel burger and how long it took them. Now let me tell you about this Mel burger. Its one pound of meat, half pound of bacon, four slices of cheese and the other typical trimmings. Lowest number of minutes we saw was ten. Average of probably 50 but did see some 100 plus minutes. We're thinking of getting a couple of friends and splitting one. Get this, the price, $7.95. We'll certainly go back. Not for the Mel burger.

This morning I borrowed a tractor from down the road and brush hogged the dead wild flowers in Judy's yard. They have long since gone to seed of course lost their beauty. The fun part of this was watching the field mice scurry for cover and the one king snake being upset that I was destroying his hunting grounds. Oh well...progress. Chores completed for the day....yea!!

R&R the rest of the day. Oh boy!

Blessings to all....
