You ain't too late, Macca! He'p yerse'f! Pappy's been watchin' a little drama this mornin' in the backyard. Pappy's cat was real quiet, starin' off the Texas deck at somethin'. Turned out that somethin' was a big chicken hawk settin' on the fence starin' back at Pappy's cat on the Texas deck. Two mighty hunters takin' each other's measure. Two deadly predators, two professional assassins pause in their deadly dance to test each other's skills. The raptor, supreme master of the sky, sudden death from above, feared by all vs. the subtle feline, master of the Texas deck an' bird feeder, deliverin' derisive death threats at small birds who suffer the very real fear they'll die laughin' at her, chokin' on their birdseed, and then they'll be hers. Their cold, unblinkin' eyes locked in a silent combat of sheer will. Who will blink first an' be forever disgraced? Who will emerge as top predator? LOOK OUT! There's the mockin' bird makin' a strafin' run at the hawk! Hee hee! That feisty little feller made 'em all scatter! Hee hee! Top predator! |

Morning all!! Boy the place looks really spiffy. Have you got bacon on those biscuits this morning, Pappy? My favorite all time biscuit guaranteed to raise the cholesterol 100 points is Hardees bacon, cheese and egg biscuit. Ummm makes me hungry writing about it. We had bacon lettuce and tomato sandiches last night for dinner along with one of Jimmy Beeson's excellent watermelons. Husband wanted a cantelope but only watermelons in the front yard. If you want a good one stop off on old Summerfield Road and pick one out. You put your money in a can sitting on the bench. Pretty cool that we live in a town where you can still do those sort of things. Have a good day all. |

Wonder how HOT it was in Iraq today? Wonder how HOT it was for the men and women of our American military in harm's way fighting for our freedom? Wonder if they measure how HOT it is in degrees or intensity of the firefight or how close the bullets come to their heads or by the number of American dead? While we leisure cozily in air-conditioned comfort in front of our computers griping about the weather. I suppose HOT is measured in one's perspective isn't it?

According to experts, the average constant temperature inside a grave 6 feet deep is 58 degrees. As of yesterday, the United States has suffered 3673 military casualties in Iraq. So there are at least 3673 pretty COOL Americans out there not suffering this heat wave. Wonder if any of THEM would trade places with US? Are WE lucky or what?

Isn't farming in the desert part of the problem between countries in the Middle east? I believe that is what Isreal is fighting the Palestines over is the desert to farm. They grow lots of stuff including melons at a huge cost to the water supplies but extemely sucessfully as the dry air and controlled water is perfect to farm. |

Jim if you send a package over with no name on it, then most the time it goes to the bases. The soldiers at the outpost only go back to the base about once a month to get a shower (no running water at a outpost) and some cooked food. We send the packages to our son who will past them out to his buddies. They share everything at a outpost..... |

I fell asleep before the weather last night but Eric was hinting that this weather was going to change pretty significantly long range. It is getting closer to fall and it is 8/9/07 so the dog days should be winding down for the year. A little rain would certainly be nice. Stay cool and have a good day. |

German Johnson is also a mater from North Caroliney that's big, pinkish, an' wrinkled-lookin'. The story I heard was, the balin' wire holdin' the steerin' wheel on come loose in the curve at the bottom o' the hill durin' one o' ol' German's night runs an' he crashed his bug headon into a mater patch, spillin' shine ever'whar. What happened next, they say, is a strange an' wonderful miracle...the shine transformed them maters into German's likeness...round, wrinkled, an' pink. So they named the maters after him. Strange things happen up in them hills. |

Morning All!! I was cleaning yesterday afternoon out from under the TV. We have a bushel basket of extra cords and cables. Every piece of equipment these days come with extra important looking cables. They are yellow and blue and have plastic fancy connections on them and I never throw them away. So I have made the decision to throw them away. Of course I also understand I will need one of those cables, that I haven't touched some of them in years, next week. Isn't that the law? It is Saturday. Nice breeze blowing this morning but oh so humid. Very uncomfortable outside this morning. I am the keeper of the horses today so I have been out communing with them. The chicks are basically grown now and they finally know the routine. The guneas know to run out when I pick up the stick so it really doesn't take long to get everybody settled for the day. Have a good day. Cracker have you quit your rain dancing? Spending too much time in the pool. |

Morning All!! I got busy reading the GSO paper and forgot to tell you all about the morning. IT IS STICKY outside this morning. Certainly seems to be the end of summer this week and the begining of the time for kids to go back to school. Sure do wish for some rain. Cracker what are you doing? Get out of that swimming pool and start dancing!!! It is Thursday to day I think so Friday is not far away. Everybody have a good day. |

Its a sad day in Summerfield... JC Leggett died Tuesday...I can still see him driving his tractor down Summerfield Road.... |

Mr. Mike I was thinking the same thing when I read his obit this morning. He always had that nice garden next to the road and usually some sort of critters in his pasture. With the loss of Paul Neal and Jame Leggett we don't have anybody left but Carolyn Collin's Dad to watch garden on old Summerfield Rd. George Price, Paul Neal and James Legett were always in a race in the spring to see who could get their garden planted first. I have always enjoyed watching the competition. |

JC could do anything with a tractor...he was a jack of all trades, I first met him over at a friends house when he was helping him put rings in a hogs nose, that old hog liked to made him part of the pen....he taught me how to hand hew logs to build tobacco barns....he would always help out all the widows in town with everything around the farm and house....he would fix it or know someone he would help fix it....yes a part of Summerfield is gone.... |

I hope these folks knew how well-liked and respected they were. It's easy to get wrapped up in our day-to-day scrapes and travails and forget that we're all just doing the best we can, that we're all human and we all have feelings. It would be nice if we let people know we appreciate them while we have the chance, even if we don't always agree. I think there are ways to disagree with differing opinions and still show respect for the person holding those different opinions. Just because what I believe is right for me doesn't make me better or smarter than someone who doesn't hold those same beliefs.... and I have no right to belittle that person or talk down to that person simply because they don't think the same way I do. I think we'd all do well to remember the GOLDEN RULE. It sure sounds as though these folks did. |

I have to tell you all my favorite Howard Ledbetter story. For you folks who weren't around then, Howard and Ollie had a little store on 140 in the curve just before Belford Rd. They sold a little of this and a little of that. Howard could fix anything with a motor on it. To me who didn't know Howard until I was in my early twenties he was this big tall, really gruff sort of mean seeming man. The store often times had a lot of silent farmer types who always quit talking the minute I walked in. My husband was always sending me up there to get things fixed. One day I was up the road at Elaine Kellams picking up some children. I had a Toyota station wagon that I just loved. When I went to get in the car and started it smoke boiled out of the gear shift column like the car was on fire. I rushed back into the house and called my husband who was clueless as to what could be the problem but he said to stop off at Ledbetters and get Howard to check it out. So that is what I did. Stopped off and Howard came out the door. I rolled the window down and told Howard what had happened. He preceded to walk around my car rapidly, kicking the tires and cursing about how those blankety bank japs had killed our boys and then he would kick another tire. I watched slightly fearful but pretty amazed. He finally stopped after a couple of times around the car, kicking the tires and cursing. I finally figured out what he was talking about . I said " Howard that war ended before I was born. I thought we had forgiven them?" Needless to say I did not mention my car problem agaom but quietly drove off. I never asked Howard to look at my car again. Writing this makes me laugh all over again, after all I grew up in the big city of Greensboro and wasn't sure what to make of this man. Howard Ledbetter would give you the shirt off his back if he liked you. He forgave me for driving a Japanese car and we became the best of friends. You are right Jim the wonderful characters who made our communities unique are vanishing. |

Jane, I was just a little tyke when I went to the old Summerfield School for a few years, where and when my Mother taught. One of the old timers over there who I remember, but did not know well, was 'Pop' Bowden and I still remember that he always smoke a pipe or cigar (can't remember which). He seemed like such a character who no doubt was full of interesting life stories. I remember as well the old Halloween Festival they had there in the old rock gym and the old well attended 'negro minstrels' they once had in the old high school auditorium. I also remember old man Benny Waters giving some of the first 'band lessons' to music students in the Northwest those so many ages ago. Of course, I also remember some wonderful teachers who guided me toward learning such as Ozelle Bailey and Ruby Smith and Mrs. Cox. And I'll never forget Margaret Metz whacking me across the wrists with her yardstick when I missed a note while taking piano lessons on Summerfield Road. I never think of Oak Ridge without thinking of my old departed fishing, beer drinking, barbecue cooking friend, Leo Phelps, as well as my other wonderful OR friend. the legendary Buster Linville, who truly embodied all that Oak Ridge was and ever will be. I also remember Howard and Ollie and still remember the very day and circumstances when Ollie (and another store keeper in Oak Ridge) were murdered. A crime which to this day remains unsolved. All those memories and all this remembering makes me feel slightly old tonight. Last edited on Aug 17th, 2007 01:02 am by Jim Flynt |

Morning all!! Only 96 today! A virtual cold wave has hit!! It is pretty sticky out this morning. I have a new bantam rooster. Somebody brought him a couple of weeks ago. I told Hairbrust this morning I believed he was probably made in China by Matel. He is this tiny thing with this tiny squeaky cockadoodle do. So funny to hear the big rooster who has now gotten past the voice changing stage and sounds like a real rooster crow and then the sqeaky answer. So funny in the dark. The guneas are vanishing by the handfuls. Two more didn't show up yesterday afternoon. I hipe they are setting somewhere and something isn't getting them. Not that we can tell the difference really but it does seem like the three left might all be males. Everybody have a good day after all it is Friday. |

Pappy when you and Mr. Mike are over scoping out the chicks be sure and check out the tomatoes. Best crop I have had in many years. Also be careful and do not disturb Ms Cayote and her babies. I think she may be feeding her babies guinea au jus these days. We appear to have lost 5 or 6 in the last month. 5 went out yesterday and only 4 came back last night. I would suspect you and Mr. Mike but I know you couldn't catch them. |

Two short yips, one long howl means: proceed with Plan C (C fer chicken) One long howl, two short yips, one long howl means: I done started Plan C, where are you? One long howl, follered by one long burp means: Mission accomplished. Proceeding to plan D (D fer dessert) Hee hee! |
