In my front yard, looking southish

My driveway. You can see a little bit of my house roof up left-ish, and the plastic roofs up right-ish is the greenhouse with chicken house behind it. (Nope, can't see the chicken house)

@Alaskan glad you used your computer!! . Have one of the boys fix your phone while they're still home....you know the youngsters know more about them that we do.

No snow here -- thankfully -- but it is a warmer 30 out there this morn. Been mid 20s last couple days. They say weather is warming closer to normal now. Good! . I don't like cold.

Up so early. Couldn't sleep longer, so got up. I'll hate it later but, it is what it is. Waiting for daylight.

The French Taco thing kills me.

I wonder -- does a "french taco" have a wine salsa?

Another morning of white shimmer -- only frost

Big news in my area...mass shooting at a Walmart out 30 miles away.. 7 dead & 5 others in hospital. Seems it began in a break room, about half hr before store closing...night stocking crew in there for instruction. A member of mgmt or targeting mgmt (per witness) began shooting. He is among 7 dead. Unsure at this time who shot him. (Self or another) ??

Just NO reason for these shootings everywhere. There have been a few instances of other unnecessary shootings this week...some gang related, as 3 teens were shot in a car. All totally sad, scary, unnecessary.

Just saw the sad news that @Mini Horses reported. All the outrage by the representatives that we need to get a handle on all the gun problems. We need to get as handle on the total lack of respect of people for others, and that comes with some morals, and learning there are consequences for actions while young. There doesn't seem to be any reverence for life in general... and especially in the 15-35 year old brackets. And no, I have no idea of the sex or age of this shooter... just like the unknown one that killed 4 students just the other day in Idaho in their beds. That was with a knife.... guns are not the problem...knives are not the problem... it is something that is sadly lacking in the fabric of our society today.
I don't have the answer except that so many younger people are not willing to work for what they get; and not willing to start at the bottom and work their way up learning that life is not instant gratification and experience is gained along the way.
There has always been violence in this world... from the beginning of mankind. But it is more of a "disease" in the younger generation than I think it used to be....maybe we have caused some of it by always "wanting our kids to have it better than we did"......

It is a beautiful day here, sun came out and temp jumped 10 degrees. Low of 36 feels like spring compared to the 20s and cold wind. So sad for the families of those that will never see this beautiful day or their loved ones again.

I"m not even going to try to start the tractor at the hayfield until noon or so...

I should've waited. It was 6-8 hrs and a 12 pack later, the trailer was hooked up. Don't ask, just don't. I left Tue instead.

@CLSranch what in sam hill are you doing showering before going outside, when the temps are so low???

A habit from going walking the dog OUTSIDE last thing right before bed. Even in the winter.

I must have updated the wrong update on my phone???? No idea. But it only gives me issues if I try to post! so I have been reading, but not posting.

This post is from my COMPUTER (I almost never online forum from my computer)

Honeslty I do nothing besides text and call with my phone. It has 0 apps and my laptop only has a few that it didn't come with.

Amen.
Many people tell me to let my kids be kids, times have changed, get them a tablet, smart phone, some other da%n smart device. I could rant. My brother used to tell me Chivalry is dead why do you do it. I said just because your an a$$ doesn't mean I need to be.

EXACTLY! They all blame the TOOL,, don't want to accept the fact they didn't raise their children, they let them be feral and this is the result. Excuses abound - working mother, etc - excuses for not taking responsibility.
