Good morfnoevight all you happy hump day stoners!

I intend to sow wild flower seeds on the highway embankment this fall just before the rains start. A couple of years ago I seeded it by hand in early spring. The slope of the hill is too steep for me, I damn near did a header last time. Then to add insult to injury we got nearly zero rain after I planted so it was not very successful. I have devised a way to blow injected seed with my leaf blower. I can get the seed widely distributed up to about 20 or more feet up the hill. That is about 1/3 the way up. Then I have some milkweed seed for the Monarch butterflies that I will throw randomly up into the other 2/3 of the hill. I have purchased some dissolvable biodegradable paper to fold "balloons" out of and fill with sand, seed starter soil and seed, so I can launch them with a dog tennis ball thrower.

I put a small piece of the paper in some water and it instantly dissolved into a gooey blob of pulp. I need to do a germination test with some radish seeds to make sure there are no chemical residues that would hinder the germination of my wild flower seed.

Breakfast of fresh chicken sausage scramble, hashbrowns, nectarine and an amazing espresso.

BLT for dinner last night.

I got 8 packages of instant chili beans mix. I shrink wrap them 4 together with a long enough tail on the bag to open and reseal several times. It seems like a lot of work but that is 8 separate dinners that can be prepared with an absolute minimum of effort. The packages are flat and thin so you can run hot water over the outside to loosen the bag, slip it into a no-stick skillet and heat to thaw add a can of beans and heat to boiling and eat. 20 min. for homemade chili. Win Win Win (the last win is for the next day) :haha:

Texas state flower is the Bluebonnet. I had a little over 1/4 mile road frontage on the farm to Market Road that I seeded with Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush, two of my favorite native wild flowers.

That next spring showed that I had a extremely high termination rate and got a very beautiful stand of Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush! Mom really loved it, since the color blue was involved!

Every year for about five years, it got even better looking. The state never touched my easement, since I kept it mowed and maintained. Then instead of sending out mowers, the state instituted spraying a herbicide. The intent was to kill off vegetation about three feet out from the highway. The retards didn't think about drift!:face::grrr1:

First year was devastating! I guess it killed probably about 85%. And they kept up with the practice!:grrr1::grrr1:

They are using the same practice at my new place. I think they are timing it different for the most part. They seem to be spraying after wildflowers have bloomed and went to seed. Well I don't have any bluebonnets out here and I'm not going to spend the money to plant them, I do have a pretty nice stand of Indian paint brushes and this other little weed with very tiny but extremely bright purple flowers. I tried to time my first mowing So that the plants still have time to come back up, but the idiots the state hires are not going to mow it.

I definitely need to mow out there!

This video reminds me of my Brittany Spaniel bird dog, Freddy, that my secretary gave me. He went from a small backyard to full roam of the farm. Freddy was a very intelligent dog, sometimes very strangely intelligent. He was definitely a character!

When it came to bath time, I always started with my Rottweiler that was kept inside the yard around the house. Freddie would see me washing the other dog and by the time I'm finished, Freddie comes up all wet with his stumpy tail wagging like crazy, saying. "Look! I've already taken a bath!" When all he has done is run to the stock tank and taken a quick dip! :funny: :funny: :funny:

The look on his face when I told him he's still gonna have to get a bath, without absolutely priceless! The funny thing about it is he would do this every single time and I'd get the same look on his face!

He was such a good dog!
