I put Ringo 2.0 ALA Little Ringo, in with Rocky this morning. They have been penned next to each other for a week. They are getting reacquainted, circling and butting each other. Front foot forward kicks, football players could learn a thing or two from rams.

Little Ringo and Rocky are so funny. They back up like they are gaining momentum to Nash each others brains out, walk forward and touch foreheads. Softly.

It’s been a fun week. I picked up the little granddaughters on Sunday, October 27, took them to meet my son in law yesterday November 2. So o had them for Halloween. Mom forgot to pack their costumes! So we went to Lufkin to Walmart. They spent an hour agonizing over their choices. No more Disney princesses, no more fairies, no more super heroes, that left nothing. FINALLY #3 chose a Moana costume and #2 chose a Snow White, so much for Disney princesses. Then we went to go pay for them. Sitting in the middle of the aisle were these things called Squish Mallows. Wearable animal characters that looked like an oblong soft squishy stuffed animal. Price went from $10 each to $39 each. No problem—I had their Mom’s credit card!

The next day, #2 told me that’s what they wanted in Walmart in Corpus Christi, but Mom said they cost too much money!
BWA HA HA HA HA!!!

But let me back up. On Monday I had a doctor appointment in Tyler so we were up early and gone. We stopped at Loves Lookout in Jacksonville where I took their picture sitting on a giant concrete tomato.

Next day we constructed a new hoop cover for round bales in the front field, in preparation for dry lotting the ewes in the front field. My son set the hay bales, letting the girls sit in his lap and drive the tractor.

Halloween morning we went to the Forestry Museum in Lufkin for the I Spy trail. They were given a card with a list of what to look for and how many of each. The trees were decorated with skeletons, spiders, a bumblebee, super heroes, fairies and vampires. We found all but one skeleton. Then we went home.

A friend on TEG that lives in Iowa, saw a Texas adult coloring book and sent it to me. Perfect for spending time with granddaughters! It was a bleary, drizzling day, so we colored.

#2 picked an intricate detailed picture, and did really good. She wants to be an artist.

#3 picked a picture of a horse and she did good too!

Then we took care of animals, had tacos for supper and went trick or treating.

I love this.

Son is in off a job. He starts another one December 1. It’s in Iraan, Texas. It’s on a wind farm out in West Texas about 500 miles from here. He’ll be gone 4 months.

Yesterday afternoon he came over and started cleaning up my back field. He’s got that 100 HP Kubota tractor and had it plumbed for a grapple. That grapple is amazing! Then he bought a 16’ bush hog. He started mowing and picking up dead tree litter. A tree fell over in the field last spring during a rain and wind storm so he’s piling stuff up on it. He’s going to clean up the back field and I’ll be working on the fence row this winter.

Grapple and a brush hog at the same time (yeah I know counter-weight and all - but still looks impressive)
