Houston, grasshopper update - many, very small. ARRG. I took the bird feeders down to encourage a switch to eating grasshoppers.
Front should hit here between 8-9 A. M.

Charlie, we have all almost quit buying meat at the prices they are getting to. Dont eat allot now anyway, but looked at hamburger at a Brookshires yesterday. A nearly 3# package of 80/20 was $9!

30* for us tonight, but have no idea what the wind chill will be like. I found some weed barrier at TSC, may try to use that to cover the row plants, nothing to loose I figure.

Today, there is no joy in "mudville" because the mighty thunderstorm fizzled out. How sad! We are so dry that our asparagus is gasping. WE NEED RAIN!

No rain in the morning going out 45 from Houston to Groesbeck. Coming home went through a good hard rain between Leona and Madisonville, but the. Only showers the rest of the way home.

Picked up three Lowline Angus heifers.

Many small grasshoppers here too Don. Wish I had the money to spray them and to put down weed killer too.

There has been a large flock of grackles showing up maybe once a week. Hopefully they'll put a dent in the grasshopper population.
