spent a little time in the country(update: photos and video)

The past year has been kind of overwhelming and I have been neglecting my cabin project in the country. I have been hauling my horde of junk out there so the place is cluttered inside the cabin and out. I had to make room for my new wife and kids since I got married last may. I started organizing the junk piles. I got a brush pile and a small metal pile. I'll burn the brush and sell the metal eventually. I got the F750 started. It was out of gas and the battery was dead. I hauled two barrels of water for my new trees. They look like they are gonna be ok. Two are crepe myrtles. I also planted a Monterey Oak and a Cedar Elm last fall. My Montezuma Cypress is doing alright. It has been planted since the fall of 2007. And A couple of Texas Sages I planted last fall should be ok. I think they are fairly hearty and we got a little rain over the winter i think. I have a LOT of bluebonnet plants this year. A few have started blooming already! There are a few Indian Paintbrush along the highway and I photographed one when I was leaving. I still haven't finished the roof or the siding on my cabin but hopefully I will make some more progress on that soon.

Neat photos - neat place - but where's the F750?

[dolinick]

I attempted to put up my purple martin house. It's a little crooked. The last time I had it up in San Antonio the starlings took over. I was hoping the martins might have a better chance out there. I made it out of redwood.

Would love to see more pictures of the country side. especially once the Blue Bonnets are in bloom. I sure miss that country. Lived in Live Oak near Randolph a couple of years. Before that a couple in Austin.

I had to make room for my new wife

I know what you mean.
I had my home for "unloved and abused Fords"
I used to buy and sell parts ,then it got to be buy and not get around to selling.
It wasn't until I got married that I realized the error of my ways.
I must admit the place looks A Lot better now.

I still have a small collection of "good stuff "but now it's parked behind some pine trees.

Thank God I'm not married. I'm not big on junk, I try to be fairly neat and organized, but old cars and trucks are important to have around as parts donors for the fleet still on the road!

My wife and I went back out there so this time I took a few more photos.

More blue Bonnets were blooming when I was out there but they seem to need some water. I will probably check on them again this weekend.
