Free Bonus Pics. of the Day

I had a lot of stuff I needed to get done around here today, so I went out and sat under the umbrella on the deck with a beer or twelve and looked through some more picture books.

Found some good pictures, like this one on top of the mountain on rt. 60 at the Blue Ridge Parkway, east of Buena Vista, Va. Hope the statute of limitations has run out...anyway, I "authored" this sign- took a metal marking pen and altered it a little. Pulled over on the way to Covington with a load of pulpwood one time and did it. It has the brakes smoking, driveshaft wrung, and pistons flying out of the bottom of the engine...he's in a heap of trouble.

My best friend, the late David Elder, wanted me to draw a dog on the joe-dog he used to pull. I said "what do you want, like a cartoon dog?..because I can't really draw."

He said "I don't know, just a dog."

So this is what I came up with. Drew it with a metal marking pen, which i'm not allowed to have any more by the way.

The old Pete I used to drive-

My old mud bogger.

First truck I drove for F.L.Moore and Sons.

My cabbage- all looks good except for that one. There's always got to be one screw-up in every crowd. I'm gonna pull it up and plant a pepper or something there.

While I was doing all this work, I spotted this creature looking at where I was going to plant a tomato.

I threw his ass down there in those woods, but he'll be back in 2 or 3 years.

Nice!

Got Mud?

Good planning on the pepper, might need to make some hot sauce come fall.

Planted 8 pepper plants today, 4 cayenne and 4...something else- I never heard of them, but it looks like a banana pepper. They said they'll have jalapenos next week, so 4 of them and i'm done with peppers.

The g/f told me it looks like a mushroom. How did you find that photo?

The snail? I just took it this evening, I pulled the old dirt and roots out of that container and saw it sitting there. Thought I should take it's picture before I threw it in the woods so I can compare it to when he crawls back in a few years.

I also thought it was a mushroom. And I bought 2 pairs of glasses this past year. I told them at my meeting this p.m. That I was blind in one eye and can't see out the other.

Do you put out the small onion sets during this month? I used to during this month of April and put out Tomato plants the first of May. I like early and late tomatoes to plant. Got to have squash and okra to, later. I like planting corn also but, it is a hassle for me, cause I like to keep the garden small as possible. I never thought or considered peppers.

I planted the cabbage, onion sets, and potatoes in March. Frost won't hurt them, I usually wait until May to plant tomatoes too but I did plant a few tomato plants a couple of weeks ago.
