Guineas

Sammy went to the sale at Huntsville today and got me a wire cage that will hold my guineas on the porch and the holes are small enough that the cats can't reach in an get the keets. I put a piece of tin over and covered the whole thing with a tarp.

I have one of my golden comet hens setting now this wont happen in one of a million so Sammy bought 12 guineas eggs and the hen has settled down on them .I hope she hatches them cause it will be so unusual if she does. I can post photos on the BYC site and be a instant success. BYC is a poultry site I visit.

cats 4

Neighbors have gone to Oklahoma so the cats are coming over here for food. I am feeding them Sammy's dog food. I think he only has 3 left. the dogs have been killing them I think. I only see the 3 footed white one and the calico that has raised kittens under my porch. The white one that the dog has treed is a male so we will get new white kittens soon.

The old yellow cat that he has had for about 5 years is missing ; she was the mother or grandmother of all of the cats. I guess she died. They took some of the skirting off the front trailer and that was where they ran to get away from the dogs so they are having problems. I take it back he has 4 cats.

jalapeño

I want to go the library today if I get limber enough to go. I could hardly walk when I got up but I feed the chicken and water all my plant so now I am walking some better. Some days I can hardly go.

The chickens got a water melon Rhine that Sammy threw out last night. They enjoy picking on the melon. I caned a quart and a pint of my Jalapeno pepper yesterday. I put vinegar on them and some water a little salt and cook them until they turn color then put them in jars for winter. I put them in soup and if we eat pinto beans the juice is good on them.

I saw Sara Gilbert the star on Rosanne said she was lesbian; Rachel maddow of Msnbc new and Ellen DeGeneres have all came out of the closet. I wonder if all actresses and TV personalities are gay. I have long thought that most of the male actors were homosexuals .

it seems to be a job requirement in the field.

peppers

I picked my pepper crop.
Patty Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,A peck of pickled peppers Patty Piper picked.If Patty Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,How many pickled peppers did Patty Piper pick?But if Patty Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,Were they pickled when he picked them from the vine?Or was Patty Piper pickled when he picked the pickled peppers Peppers picked from the pickled pepper vine?

Zinnias

I am sad, my nurse Nancy is going to be away from work for 6 weeks and I wont be seeing her for awhile. I will miss her. She assured me that the new nurse would provide me with the supplies I need but I told her what a terrible time I had the last 3 years getting the nurses to bring me what I needed. She said she was going to make a list and leave it with my file but some how I don't feel reassured.

fleta said maybe I could get Erin to be my nurse I said no because then I couldn't complain about any thing if I did Betty would cry.

it is not too hot this morning and the chickens are doing fine. I thought they had stopped laying because I only gathered 3 eggs Wednesday but yesterday I discovered they had been laying under the tote I have in the chicken pen. I found 11 eggs under the tote.

The purple zinnias I have in the black tub are blooming and I have several. In the mist of the purple blooms I have one white zinnia.

sad

The trouble in Arizona makes me sad; I have always been on the side of the under dog having been a under dog most of my life but the truth be told they should do something about corporation America that are hiring these poor people for a cheap wage. the people with no papers live from hand to mouth and they are desperate for any work they can find. God have mercy on the poor souls.
I still think if you make them legal there wont be a problem but the rich people in this country want to keep them on their knees begging for the hand out they receive from working in our country. They work in our fields, harvesting our food, they work in our factories making our cloths they take care of our children and they work in our restaurants fixing our food while we complain about the illegal we should look in the mirror.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio Talks About The New Illegal Immigration Law 1070 in A...

Sheriff Joe and the new law in Arizonia

On Wednesday a judge blocked the most controversial sections of Arizona's new law and put them on hold. The law will still take effect on Thursday, but without some of the provisions that angered opponents — including sections that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws.Nevertheless there are reports that opponents of the new law plan to block Arpaio’s jail on Thursday in an act of civil disobedience.“There’s a rumor that they’re going to block our jails down the street,” Arpaio says in an exclusive Newsmax interview.“You know what? They’re not going to block our jails. They’re going into the jail if they block our jail. I’m not going to succumb to these demonstrators keeping law enforcement from booking people in our jail. So we may have to take some action.”Arpaio also vows to conduct a “crime suppression operation” on Thursday.“This morning we raided another business and arrested five more illegal aliens with false identification. On Thursday we’re going to do our 17th crime suppression operation and go out with our volunteer posse and deputy sheriffs and catch criminals. We’ve done 16. Just by chance about two-thirds [of those arrested] happen to be here illegally.“People say, why are you doing it on the day that the law may be put in effect? Well, should I wait? We’ve been enforcing the other state immigration laws and we’re still the only ones doing it. We’re going to continue doing our job.”Arpaio was asked about concerns that the federal government will refuse to cooperate with a handoff of illegal aliens to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency after they are apprehended in Arizona.“There’s been some rumbles that maybe ICE will not take the illegal aliens off the hands of law enforcement,” he responds.“So we may have a little problem, but not that big, because most of the time we arrest illegal aliens we have them on another charge and we book them into our jail. “After people do their time and we have them deported, if [ICE doesn’t] accept many of those people who are going to be deported, the only alternative is that they may be released on the street.“So let’s see what the federal government does. I know they’re not happy with this new law. They’re not happy with me, because I had 100 deputies trained by Homeland Security, trained to work on the streets and function as federal officers, but they took that away when the new administration took office.”There have been media reports that with the law taking effect, many Hispanics are moving out of Phoenix this weekend — as evidenced by a recent increase in yard sales to dispose of items before they move. Arpaio calls that “hype” and said “they have garage sales every week. Go into any Hispanic neighborhood and they’re having garage sales.“But a lot of them are moving out. I’d like to take a little credit for that, because they’re accusing me of breaking up families, they’re accusing me because people don’t want to go to church, they don’t want to go to school because they worry about the sheriff coming in and arresting people that are here illegally.“Consequently many people have moved out. Of course they don’t all go to Mexico. They go to the sanctuary state called California and other states where they don’t care about illegal immigration. But many of them are moving out, moving back to their home country. That’s great. Now let [them] get the proper paperwork and come into this country legally.”The sheriff of neighboring Pinal County has invited President Obama to come to Arizona for a first-hand look at the illegal immigration problem.“Why would he go to Pinal County?” Arpaio says.“We’re bigger than all counties put together. We’ve locked up 40,000 people. Why doesn’t he come to Maricopa County to talk to the sheriff that he himself doesn’t like?” Arpaio also scoffs at the notion that Obama should come to the Mexican border to observe the situation there.“What is this, symbolic? He knows where the border is. Of course I spent 14 years at the border as the head of federal drug enforcement [in Arizona]. No one’s invited me, including Republicans, U.S. senators. No one has asked me my opinion as to what I would do if I was president.“But that’s O.K. I’m not concerned about that. I know what we are doing.But to say the president should take a tour of the border — I think he knows. He watches television. He talks to [Homeland Security Secretary] Janet Napolitano. I think he knows where the Mexican-U.S. border is.“So just to say let him come down, for the president [to get] in a Jeep along with a little show of all the politicians and going to the border, that’s not going to solve any problems.“Now I do realize that he did invite the Cambridge police sergeant in Massachusetts who arrested the college professor, and racial profiling was thrown in there. So he invited both of them to the White House [for the so-called beer summit]. They had a little beer.“So why doesn’t he invite me to the White House? I’m accused of racial profiling and I have all those years experience. Why doesn’t he invite me to the White House? We’ll have a little wine and throw a little basketball. I’m from Springfield [Mass., birthplace of basketball] so I think I’ll beat him. But I’m not holding my breath.

roosters and trucks

Janet made it to work and back in the truck. I was awake when she came home so I stood on the porch to see if the light didn't shine to high and shined where it should and it looked OK to me. The bumper is to low on the right side and they said they might be able to take it all apart and hammer it higher and I thought they might hammer it out of line or break something so I said leave it for her to see everyday and perhaps that would remind her to be careful.

It doesn't look the best but it holds the road like it should and the motor and transmission are just fine so for my part that is what is important.

It is going to be hot today. I got the electric bill yesterday and it was 212 dollars, the air conditioning has been going great guns.

Only got 3 eggs yesterday. I may have had a visit from a snake or maybe it is just to hot for the hens to lay eggs. I am going to have pullets laying in a month. I have 9 or 10 pullets . the one that I thought might be a rooster hasn't crowed yet so maybe he isn't a male. This is the only time I have hoped one of the new chicks was a rooster usually they are crowing by the time they are 3 months old. The one with the most white on him is the one I think might be a rooster.

life in the Texas compound

I am reading this book when this happen in Texas I was very critical of the state for what they did to these people. So far this woman is siding with the state and sense she lived as the 4th wife of the leader of this group until she fled with her children she has a more of right to form an opinion than I do. I am 1/3 finished so I will see if she remains a friend to the state in this manner.

ABOUT THIS BOOK
The author of The New York Times bestseller Escape returns with a moving and inspirational tale of her life after she heroically fled the cult she’d been raised in, her hard-won new identity and happiness, and her determination to win justice for the crimes committed against her family. In 2003, Carolyn Jessop, 35, a lifelong member of the extremist Mormon sect the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), gathered up her eight children, including her profoundly disabled four-year-old son, and escaped in the middle of the night to freedom. Jessop detailed the story of her harrowing flight and the shocking conditions that sparked it in her 2007 memoir, Escape. Reveling in her newfound identity as a bestselling author, a devoted mom, and a loving companion to the wonderful man in her life, Jessop thought she had put her past firmly behind her. Then, on April 3, 2008, it came roaring back in full view of millions of television viewers across America. On that date, the state of Texas, acting on a tip from a young girl who’d called a hotline alleging abuse, staged a surprise raid on the Yearning for Zion Ranch, a sprawling, 1700-acre compound near Eldorado, Texas, to which the jailed FLDS “prophet” Warren Jeffs had relocated his sect’s most “worthy” members three years earlier. The ranch was being run by Merril Jessop, Carolyn’s ex-husband and one of the cult’s most powerful leaders. As a mesmerized nation watched the crisis unfold, Jessop once more was drawn into the fray, this time as an expert called upon to help authorities understand the customs and beliefs of the extremist religious sect with which they were dealing. In Triumph, Jessop tells the real, and even more harrowing, story behind the raid and sets the public straight on much of the damaging misinformation that flooded the media in its aftermath. She recounts the setbacks (the tragic decision of the Supreme Court of Texas to allow the children in state custody to return to their parents) as well as the successes (the fact that evidence seized in the raid is the basis for the string of criminal trials of FLDS leaders that began in October 2009 and will continue throughout 2010), all while weaving in details of her own life since the publication of her first book.

the sun shines on Janet

My daughter wrecked her truck last January and since she only had liability the repairs were her expense. All of her male relatives has worked on this truck and it is road ready. It doesn't look all new but the front end was missing when the men started to work on this and even tho' it not new looking it is drive able. Brother, uncles and cousins have all contribute to this effort and I am very grateful to all of them for their effort for Janet.


Purple zinnias against a blue sky.around the yard you see more red flowers than any other color. I suppose red is my favorite color.

Old Dogs Children & Watermellon Wine

Some make watermelon wine other make watermelon Jelly.

My brother decided he wanted to make water melon jelly, He called sister in Arizona and ask her how to make water melon Jelly? she didn't know but she said look on your computer for a receipt.

Brother did and if you seek you shall fine, he found a receipt 3 cups water melon rind 3 cups water 2 cups sugar. They said to cook to the soft ball stage, all mama's children cook like mama no measuring just guessing. Brother cook the stuff for 2 hours and figured that would be about right. He harvest 2 pints one he sealed and one he put in the fridge for his morning toast.

Morning arrives toast is cooking and he is licking his chops getting his water melon wine no I mean jelly. He put a spoon into the jar and the spoon bent double, the jelly jelled real good! Brother still wants to taste the jell on his toast so in the microwave go the jar and after 2 minutes he puts the bent spoon in again now he has syrup but it doesn't have to be spread on the bread it runs free.

Then comes the taste test. Guess what it had no flavor, just taste like sugar syrup but it was a pretty green color. Brother has two pints of water melon rind Jelly he will sell you cheap.!

Keets, baby guineas

The Guineas Keets are a week old today, young guineas are call keets the adult male is called a cock and the female is called simply a hen. I have been doing research on the keets and if these people are correct it will be 6 weeks before they are fully feathered out. It seems you are more adept to have females than males and they recommend raising 6 keets to assure you will have a cock.

If a flock of guineas are confined you will see the cock mating with more than one hen but if allowed to roam in the wide open spaces the cock mates with only one hen.

Donnie is suppose to come over and work on Janet's pick up today so I need to cook breakfast.

I got 3 quarts of tomatoes in the freezer.

I saw that guy who was head of BP that said he wanted his life back got it they kicked him down a notch and sent him to Russia. note apparently this British petroleum is a global company.

squash

zucchini squash

I grew this type but the squash bug got them.

spaghetti several years ago I grew this type of squash and it was very good baked and seasoned with salt and butter.

goose neck

I had goose neck squash for dinner. I boil it with butter and salt and pepper.

Tony sent me 3 large squash. Delicious.

A book

Louise is married to a preacher named Hap , he beats her, throws her out of the house naked and abuses her 2 children with threats .Hap tells Louise all this is her fault because she isn't a good wife and would you believe this she thinks he is right . She spend her days trying to avoid his hate filled speech and his fist and feet and trying to be a good wife! This is a religious book and I usual don't read this type books they have at the library with little blue crosses on them but I am reading this one.
This woman drinks to cover her pain and has knowledge of a killer in the communities mists without turning him over to the law. I am half finished and so far I can recommend this book to you.

todays head lines!

German business confidence is soaring while U.S. consumer sentiment sinks.
Britain's second-quarter economic growth was almost twice as fast as expected, the strongest in four years.
China economy is growing in leaps and bounds.

The head lines in this day and time seems to be riped from the pages of the Bible prophecy; Bible scholars has long believed that the beast in the Bible with the 10 horns was the coming United Europe or the EE as it is known today. Many my self included have been thinking that since the EE has more that the 10 nations were we wrong? then I happen to read the other day that some of the nations were thinking about withdrawing from the EE. We live in a time when change can happen in the blink of the eye;remember the downing of the Berlin wall? I am thinking 16 today maybe 10 tomorrow.

Everyone in my life time that studied Bible prophecy thought the king from the east was China and now she is fast becoming a world power!

I have always wondered why I couldn't find any nation in the Bible that fit the United States of America in end times prophecy but if we keep on the way we seem to be going we are not going to be a world power much longer.

I read in the Bible where 1/3 of the oceans will be ruined; I had thought maybe some thing was coming down from the sky and would destroy the ocean but after the oil spill and all the trash that is in our oceans I think the ruin of the ocean is well under way.

I believe you can read today's headlines in the Bible.

tomatoes too many

I have a problem; everyone should have this problem. I have more tomatoes than we can eat before they turn bad. I have a pot of water on the stove so I am going to scald them and slip the skin then put them in freezer bags and freeze tomatoes. I know the vines will stop producing and sister will stop bring me tomatoes by like she did yesterday and then I will be thinking Oh, I wish I had some tomatoes.
I buy canned tomatoes every month and never get them for less than a dollar so if I freeze these I will save 5 dollars for something else.

Attention, sister

I don't know where this information came from but this guy in the state of Oregon posted this and it sounds like a good story. this is his post..if you want to check his blog just click on my title to this post.

Sister wanted me to check out BP and the oil and gas used in the war by our Armies so ask and you shell receive. I believe this is the smoking gun.
No matter how cynical you get, you just can't catch up.
Lily Tomlin
Not that there haven't been enough abortions going on in the debacle in the Gulf of Mexico, but I'll bet you didn't realize that our good corporate friend BP is deeply involved in our war effort in Afghanistan!
But first, I have to give you some intelligence you didn't know about Krygyzstan. It's an important part of the puzzle on our entire war effort in Afghanistan. You may not know that one of the reasons for all of the ethnic violence over there right now is that a group of dissidents deposed the former President of Kyrgyzstan a month or so ago. But did you know that Kyrgyzstan is the major route for heroin from Afghanistan, and that the former President Bakiyev is up to his eyeballs in his involvement with the heroin traffickers?
The ethnic cleansing of the Kyrgyzs against the Uzbeks means that Kyrgyzstan will sooner or later degenerate into the status of being a failed state, and that's where the crown jewel of our logistical efforts to supply Afghanistan is -- Manas Air Force Base. So, while we've been paying baksheesh to the president who was fronting for the drug traffickers, now the US government will have to operate its base in a country that will quickly begin to resemble Somalia. And we all know how successful we were when we tried to maintain a military effort in Somalia.
But wait, it gets even worse for our war efforts in Afghanistan, because the only other supply route for NATO forces is through Pakistan, and there's this continuing problem of Talibanis and others who insist on blowing up our convoys. That's why Kyrgyzstan is the preferred delivery option for military supplies. There's only one problem with all of this.
A defense expert has estimated that the actual cost of supplying our troops with fuel is through Russia and Kazakhstan (corruption squared) before it goes through Kyrgyzstan (corruption cubed) before it finally makes it to the Afghani border. And once the gasoline gets to the Afghani border, we have to pay off the Taliban and the warlords for safe protection so our fuel convoys don't get torched. But then the Talibani and warlords are the same people we're fighting against down the road. So we're paying protection money to the people we're fighting against. And the estimated cost per gallon of gas on the ground in Afghanistan is estimated at $150 a gallon!
And here's where this shaggy dog story ends. Who do you think is the Defense Department's major supplier for gasoline in Afghanistan?
If you guessed BP, congratulations!

Obama's PROMISE To End The Iraq War - Oct. 27, 2007 - "You Can Take That...

We took this promise to the Bank but the bank had failed. Stop The war.

hot July days remembered and a snow July day

On this date my father was born, July 25th ,1915. 95 years ago today. Grandpa told me it snowed in the Ozarks the night dad was born and even tho' Grandpa never told an untruth as I was sure this time he was telling me a fib but a few years ago the weather man mentioned it snowed on July 25, 1915 so Grandpa wasn't telling me a fib .

I went out and worked some more on my guinea pen It reminds me of the old goat shed we had in 1954 remember Clayton? Grandpa was sick and dad was over there before he left he told me and brother to catch the female goats that had a lot of milk and strip them out so their bags wouldn't ruin. That goat shed was built on a slant with the roof going down to the ground and we had to get in there a crawl on our hand and knees to wrestle the goat out of the shed . The goat didn't want to be caught so we had a hard time in the dust and heat. Winnie Jo mentioned how hot it was that year when grandpa died. we waited until the sun went down so that they would go in the pen before we did the chore and I remember how big and bright the harvest moon was that night. I looked at the red moon hanging in the night sky in the direction where grandpa lay on his bed and thought about the fact he would be dead by morning . The date was July 15, 1954.

July 13, 1961 mother gave birth to a son, her last child we named him Gilbert Melton Powell.

coool

The weather report gives a promise of showers today and a high of only 88 degrees.

I worked on what will be my brooder pen for my 7 guineas when they go out side yesterday and I have plans on doing more today I am putting more ten on the roof and sides so they wont be in the damp grass .

I planted turnips and cucumbers yesterday so no more planting this year.

One of my sex-link birds is trying to set; if I had a a fertile egg I would try her just because this type of chicken is not known to go broody.

egg bound chicken and seed sowing

I went to feed this morning with cucumber seeds and turnip seeds to plant. I will have some fall turnips maybe not many but I am the only one here that will eat them so it wont take many. Fleta needs to go to Bontoms hardware and buy a pound of seed, have George plow up a spot about 14 times 14 or so and sow it in turnip seed now this need to be done in the next week so get busy ,George. George could sell them at the farmers market after all his relatives and neighbor get finished grazing on them.

I lost a red hen this last week she just died. The sex-links are prone to get egg bound and I had noticed one hen had spent 2 or 3 hours on the nest some days so I think she was egg bound. If you are wondering what is egg bound? The hens track for laying eggs get ruptured by a especially large egg and then the eggs get rerouted into the poor things body cavity sort of like my abscess , huh? I have read where some chicken owners do all sorts of processes to stop the hen from dying but I prefer to let the hen die and get out of her misery sort of like me and my miseries.

Obama's war

Stop the war. I am including a link in the title so you can see the war dead spread across our country. take a look ; the news media has just stopped reporting on the war a great deal and it has fell by the Way side but we need to be remember that families are loosing love one in Iraq and Afghanistan every day this war is allowed to continue, We need to raise our voices in a shout that can be heard in Washington.

Don't be afraid of being called unpatriotic because it is not patriotic to sat and let this country destroy the lives of our young men and women and the many lives of the people in those war torn countries. Shout it out. STOP THE WAR NOW!

KABUL, Afghanistan — Four American service members were killed Saturday in a bombing in southern Afghanistan, where international forces are stepping up the fight against the Taliban, officials said.
A NATO announcement did not give the nationalities of the victims of Saturday's blast, nor specify where in the south they died.
However, U.S. officials confirmed they were Americans. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity under rules regarding casualty identification.
The latest deaths bring to 69 the number of international service members killed in Afghanistan this month, including 52 Americans

Daniel Schorr is dead

Daniel Schorr is dead the news men that believed that it is their job to report the truth at any cost are going to the grave and no one is stepping up to bat to take their place. Dan was a giant among reports and we have lost a good reporter.
"Nobody else in broadcast journalism – or perhaps any field – had as much experience and wisdom," Simon said yesterday. "He was playful, funny and kind. In a business that's known for burning out people, Dan Schorr shined for nearly a century." Born in the Bronx to Jewish immigrant parents, Schorr broke into the news business at the age of 12. He saw an injured woman on the sidewalk near his home in the Bronx and after summoning help phoned in a tip to the Bronx Home News. He later recalled that he was paid $5. He joined CBS as one of the last new members of the legendary Edward R. Murrow's news team. He opened CBS's Moscow bureau in 1955, but was not allowed to return to Russia after he scored an exclusive interview with Soviet Prime Minister Nikita Khruschev and complained about Soviet censorship. He subsequently clashed with American Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Nixon as well, and was accused of self-serving behavior by CBS in the leak of the CIA/FBI report. None of this led him to soften his approach or his views. After the Supreme Court ruled against continuing the Florida Presidential count schorr referred to the judges as the Gang Of 5.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

.I wondered what sort of books Winnie Jo reads so I looked on the web to see about the book she said she liked and this is what I found. Sound like a good book ,Winnie.
Set in rural Mississippi during the 1960s, the book mentions Martin Luther King Jr.’s march, the death of Medgar Evers, the Freedom Riders, the integration of the University of Mississippi by James Meredith, the sit-ins at lunch counters, Rosa Parks and other major events only in passing.
Instead, The Help focuses on the daily lives of three women- Aibileen (an African American maid raising her seventeenth white child), Minny (Aibileen’s best friend who has lost many jobs for ”sassing” her white employers) and Skeeter (a recent college graduate torn between her old friends in the Junior League and her desire to be a journalist).
I’ve read numerous books on the Civil Rights Movement, but The Help is to be praised for the way it personalizes the Jim Crow Laws and the culture of the time. African American nannies/maids - most notably Mammy in Gone With the Wind – have played a major role in Southern Literature. But The Help tells how those maids might have felt about their situation.
The hypocrisy of white women who trust maids to take care of their children- arguably the most precious thing in their lives- while insisting that the maids use a separate toilet in the garage or backyard because they fear catching ”colored diseases” is exposed. For their part, the maids are torn between their love for the children they care for and their recognition that the children they love will turn out just like their parents. Aibileen has raised seventeen white children since she switches jobs when the children get older and lose their color blindness.
Despite the injustice it exposes, The Help is a hopeful rather than an angry novel. As aspiring-journalist Skeeter searches for Constantine, the maid who raised her, she forms a friendship with Aibileen and Minny that could change their town forever. As a novel and as a work of social history, The Help deserves praise.

Chicken Lays Green Eggs

Warren book delayed, he can't see

Rick Warren just tweeted: My eyes were severely burned by a toxic poison.Hospitalized Mon.Excruciating pain.Now home.Pray my sight loss is restored
Update (11 a.m. Central):
Warren was pruning a firestick plant in his yard on Monday when he got some of the sap from the plant on his hands, according to his publicist, A. Larry Ross. "He went to wipe his brow and immediately experienced excruciating pain in both eyes," Ross said. "His wife came running out, and it was so painful, he couldn't articulate what happened."
His wife Kay called 911, and an emergency vehicle transferred him to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo where he saw an eye specialist. Warren was kept overnight and released Tuesday.
He is wearing protective contact lenses and using ointment, and doctors expect a full recovery, Ross said. Ross said that Warren did not lose his eyesight, but was unable to open his eyes. "Thankfully, he’s seeing well enough to be able to tweet," he said.
After his initial tweet, Warren tweeted: Thank you for prayers for my eyes. Another doctor visit this PM. May God use this pain for His Glory. Rom.8:28
Last year, Warren was working on a book called The Hope You Need (Zondervan), delayed it so he could write the curriculum for his church membership program. Amazon lists the release date for The Hope You Need on November 16, but Ross was unsure when it will be released. perhaps he can dictate his book if he is blind.

working in the yard

cooler out side than it has been when I went to feed the chickens. I used the weed eater to cut some grass that Sammy doesn't get with the lawn mower. The flies are really swarming around so I got some more fly bate and resupplied my containers hanging on the chicken pen. something must have died around here close.

I cut the grass around the tires I grew onions in and I am going to plant a few turnips seed in them. I read a few years ago that turnips should be planted here on July 25 and that is my fathers birth date so I always remember that is turnip day.

The Democrat government is in trouble again seems this fox news guy took a tape of this negro woman who worked in the USDA in the south edited it to sound like she said something she didn't of a racist nature and the man in charge called her that night and demanded she resign so now they have mud on their faces for being pigs and not taking time to look into the matter just BAM! YOU ARE DEAD.They told her she could have her job back she said no! maybe Obama has offered her the job of the fellow who fired her .

Billy Boy

Fleta wants to know when is Billy coming? Helen told me but I forgot. I guess it will be like when he gets here he is here. I am a lot more anxious for him to come cause sister is sending me all sorts of things. I hope he doesn't get fired or quite before he makes the trip.
I sort of pulled a dirty trick on him a few weeks ago, I hope he doesn't find out what I did and throw my fur coat and new dresses out beside the road.
Where have you been Billy boy, Billy boy?
Where have you been charmin Billy?
When will you be here Billy boy, Billy boy?
