Karma

After the break in down the road
we've been trying to
better secure the property.
Steve had been buying T posts here and there in preparation for the fence,
 but it's time to step things up a bit!! 
SO... 
Today after work I was in my local Home Depot
purchasing a few more T posts.
I was in the line waiting my turn when the man behind me said,
"I have about six of those in the back of my truck if you want them".
"No way I say", "way" he says. "Awesome" I say.
"Funny how Karma works out" I say.
He just laughed.
I purchased three and got nine total.
At $3.89 per post  I was in the positive at
$23.34!!!
How cool is that?

Turns out he's a rancher from Avalon who raises Black Angus.
Thank you Randall, I'll be talking about you for quite some time!!!

People can be, and, are generous.
I wasn't even going to stop at the Depot because of time issues,
I wanted to check out at the complete opposite end of the store,
Karma had other ideas!!!

Got to go,
Steve got the new lawn tractor stuck and I have to
try and pull him out!!!

Till next time,
Bonjour

Our trip to The Dallas farmers Market

Sooooooooo.
Today I left my safe & secure comfort zone & ventured out into the world. We, as in Steve, Nate & I drove into Dallas (YIKES)  to visit the farmers market. (No, not on the tractor.)
I wanted to can some tomatoes & our garden just wasn't producing the amount needed for this project. (About 25 lbs). We found the wholesalers shed & went to town, well sort of.
VIOLA


We also bought a case of pineapples. (Steve cut them up before I could get a picture.)
Canning to commence on Sunday, Stay tuned.

Well after we took care of business we just kinda wandered around taking in the sights & posing for photos.


                        
Posing works up an appitite so we stoped for some tamales at La Popular Tamale House, MMM bueno!!!
We hung around people watching for a while, then it was back to the homestead.
It wasn't near as scarry as I thought it would be. (The traffic, not the market.)

I'll have to get out more often!!!
