It’s wet in Hayes County!!!\u00a0 Well, not really.\u00a0 I’m just so tired of saying “it’s dry” that I decided to change it up a bit.\u00a0 The power of positive thinking?\u00a0 If that actually worked, it would have rained many weeks ago.\u00a0 We’re all in the same boat – so to speak.\u00a0 Except this boat needs waders for dust.<\/p>\n
All summer we have had critters come up and stand under the sprinklers on the lawn.\u00a0 Pheasant, quail, deer.\u00a0 The deer decimated my garden by taking big chunks out of the cucumbers and tomatoes and eating the blooms and tops out of the beans.\u00a0 They could have had better pickens if they hadn’t tromped it all to pieces before the first frost.\u00a0 \u00a0I\u00a0tried yelling and waving\u00a0my arms only to find they were back twenty minutes later.\u00a0 Then we pulled out the pellet gun.\u00a0 It didn’t motivate them to move on either.\u00a0 Now that the garden has frozen they have taken to eating the flowers out of the hanging baskets at my back door and standing on their back legs to reach the berries on the cedar tree.\u00a0 Maybe it’s time to double the hunting permits in Hayes County!<\/p>\n
If you have more time now that the gardening is over and before you think about Christmas shopping you might want to come in and look over all the new books we’ve added since spring.\u00a0 Several nice boxes of donations and a purchase of large print books has the shelves overflowing.\u00a0 I’ve discovered many new and interesting authors if you need a change of pace.\u00a0 Or, we have lots of the old standbys as well.\u00a0 Come on in and CHECK \u00a0IT \u00a0OUT.\u00a0 .\u00a0 .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
