Silence Is Not Golden Here

Cool. You can have my rain. The rains drowned and killed all of my flowers. At least the volunteer blackberries are thriving.

We would welcome it with open arms. Basically all of North Texas is in a burn ban because of the lack of rain we’ve gotten this year.

Jeeze, I didn't even finish the first page before I bailed. Kind of a guilt trap you're running here. It's like The Post Whore thread on my other board. Just a place where all the random conversation that isn't otherwise post worthy goes. This is a dangerous area for me since I already have over 20,000 posts on at least two other discussion forums.

Happy 4th of July, everyone!!

The Milk Drinker just pointed to your avatar and said "ki-ki". That is how he says kitty. He does this because when I'm calling the cat I'll say "ki-ki-ki-kitty". He calls chickens "Chick-Chick" for the same reason because I call "Chick-chick-chick-chicky" for the chickens to come.

I'd be happy for the rain, as well... especially if it wiped out all the Mormon Crickets! I'm afraid I may need more chickens, just to deal with the swarms that are starting to get down this low...

My dog is fine as well. Doesn’t faze him. Too bad boxers are non-sporting lol. He’d be a great hunting dog if there were any instincts there at all

2/3 of my dogs couldn’t care less about the fireworks. The other is a rescue and gets worried over thunder and loud noises.

Our property is right in the middle of some neighborhoods, cowfields, and similar rural properties like our own. A stray that get spooked and runs down any given road will end up here. When I worked at the vet clinic this was probably the most stressful time of year.

Fireworks are banned here, except for city displays. There are always a few scofflaws setting some off, but hopefully the grass fires we had in the open space a few days ago, will remind folks to knock it off. We hear the booms from the city display clearly here, but my dog is good with it. Since he was a pup, the 4th has been free stuffed frozen kong night, all you can eat. His fav holiday.

Guilt trap it is. Posting you should.

@KikisGirls what sausage is your preferred one? I import mine from Iowa (the city, not pronounced like the state, before y'all start! Right near Lacassine and Ardoin's Cove. Look it up.) since I couldn't find any worthy in Texas. When we run back to Lake Charles, we get Rabideaux's (ice chest FULL) and Market Basket's smoked jalapeno boudin with strawberry milk. Rabideaux's is the ONLY sausage that I cook gumbo with now. Better than the andouille that I tried. I cook the sausage and use the seasoned grease to make the roux with the groullion. Oh, my. Let her cook for 8 hours. Too bad it isn't gumbo weather...

My aunt is the mayor of Iowa. Wait...was.

Nutty. I prefer saugage from home too but this one will work.
And it's almost gumbo weather...that's rain on my shirt. Not sweat. I'm surprised how cool out it is.
