What a weekend! The weather was awesome and Sally and I got so much done. Here is a run down. First, We got all of the posts set for the picket fence. This is huge to us. In just two weeks we will have half of our fence and a place for the kids to let their dogs run when they come to visit. Speaking of dogs, we got rid of ours! We took her to the vet and a really nice older cowboy came in to buy semen (yes, I said buy semen. Bull semen). He was very big and very friendly and he wanted Gracie. Said he had lost his border collie and would love to have another smart dog. So, Gracie got to go live with a very nice guy on a very cattle ranch. How perfect is that. Sally and I both miss her but she really is better off.
After the fence and the dog errands, we cleaned up and went to the ARE (all of you cool kids know what that means). They were having their fall festival and one of my favorite garden writers was the key note speaker. I got to hear and meet Felder Rushing. He gave a lovely little talk about the difference between horticulture and gardening. Very funny and interesting. His talks are more philosophy than technical knowledge, but that's ok. I really liked the talk and I really like him. He was in his famous truck that now has over 2 MILLION miles on it! He has a garden growing in the back of it and he drives it everywhere. His point is that if he can plants in the back of a truck that he drives 80 MPH all over the country, then you can grow something at home. Here is a pic of me and his truck. He is really cool so you should check out his website:

Sunday was also a busy and productive day eventhough Big Sal was VERY SICK all night Saturday. We taught CCE. Sally had to teach the sacraments class and I taught the Liturgical Calendar to our class. We both had very good classes. After class, we went back to the house to finish setting posts and pick up a cupboard. Sally is reading "The Indian in the Cupboard" and this was a visual aid. After that we went to a very lovely brunch at Ernie's. The we were off to Sally's class room. We did the annual TeePee door. Once we finished the class room we went back home. We chilled for the rest of the day. She graded and I did MDACC work. We cooked okra that we had put up and fresh green beans. Sally also made a ginger bread with fresh whipped cream. All and all it was truly a very lovely weekend.
