Music City Roots~Monday Music Moves Me

Welcome Monday!

and another

Monday Music Moves Me!

This is a blog hop that has just become my favorite. Do you look forward to Monday?

I do.

The kids are in school, hubby is at work and it's me, the dog, coffee and my music friends.

This week is a freebie and that means it's always exciting; there's no telling where we will all end up. 

Join in and link up.

Monday Music Moves Me

I must get a new button; mine is flawed or old but click the link you'll get there.

Folks that know me, know by now that I'm a huge bluegrass/old country fan but I'm also eclectic. 

I like a little of everything; so I'm going to grab all my music from my Youtube subscription

Music  City Roots.  I hope you hear something that pleases your ears. So here we go....

I'm going to start this off with the storyteller, Tom T, Hall. It's a little slow but he's a sweet treasure

                        

Second on my list is "In the Jailhouse Now." 
This ones a little different by Pokey LaFarge.

                         

Number three is "Whipping Post" by Mountain Heart.

                           

OMG...right!!?

Let's take flight with this next song "Angel Flight." A touching song by Radney Foster.

                           

Here's and awesome number by Raul Malo,"Every Little Thing About You."

                          

Are you still with me? If so have a little "Mercy Now," Mike Farris. 

You can also see one of my favorite guitarist Kenny Vaughan or as known on 

The Marty Stuart Show as Brotha' Kenny.

                          

I wish you a wonderful Monday full of much love.

Bringing Down the Pines~2 Down

Oh yes,as messy as it looks.

Bringing Down the Pines

Our Big Boys

The large pines that loom over our home has been the subject of many prayers, thoughts, and now action. The Ole Man(husband) had a tree service to come out and estimate the cost and plan the removal, yesterday. If weather permits they will be here today to take down two or possibly three.
Yes, I did say take down, not take out.
We're not rich folk.
So to make this project not cost so much we will be handling the getting rid of part.
Any project sends the Ole Man into deep thought, contemplation, and planning....and reiterating to us(Ole Lady and kids) what part we will all play in this.
He's not wrong. This will be a heck of  a lot of work.
You can see our totem pole that stands next to the cars;
he limbed  it two years ago out of fear of the weight. He had strong intention of taking it down then but sometimes our best laid plans go wrong.

From this view of the house, you can see how ominously they lean into the house.

In my heart, I have always dreaded the day the tree would come down. When me and my prior husband bought this home he suggested taking them down but I resisted. This home is always comfortable in the summer. The yard is welcoming and shady and the house is quite cool and comfortable.
We do not live with air conditioning.
I am in hopes that it doesn't change things so drastically.
Most folks that no me, know I don't prefer change.
Sometimes, that is my own demise.

With optimistic heart, I believe this has been a lesson from God to me. Through my own Bible study and prayer and my want/need to be a better gardener, and a video my sister sent me via email last year that I have put off watching until this morning.
Back to Eden
If you watch this video you will first hear the most wonder testimony through gardening but secondly you like me, might fulfill your gardening needs(with prayer and faith) and there will be a purpose for all these trees that are coming down(as long as I can rent/get a chipper).

Do check out the video.
I think you will enjoy it.

Thank you for stopping by.
BE BLESSED!

Joining the Seed of the Month Club

Last Friday, I joined The Seed of the Month Club. 

                                         

It wasn't expensive so I told myself it wasn't an overly compulsive thing to do. 

I questioned myself as to why I would join a seed club just as planting season is

basically over. You avid gardeners out there no that there is plenty of time for planting 

a late summer/fall garden. 

Am I an avid gardener?

No,

but I dream that I could be.

Take a look at what showed up Monday!

I'm impressed with the quick shipping!

Maybe, I'll keep momentum going and with a little luck

(no green thumb here)

I'll be sharing pictures of some veggies in a few weeks.

The fact remains that we have no topsoil that is worth anything.

I've tried composting and different other things to build it up so I try to not get overly 

excited because it leaves me overly depressed many times with the outcome.

The old man talks about bringing in loads of dirt, making raised beds, etc., etc.....

but that means he will have to take a much bigger role in the gardening.

(he likes to do it in spurts)

Some of the seeds that arrived are quite familiar and some I have never heard of.

That makes it exciting. 

New veggies mean new recipes!

Worst case...we could eat flowers...

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
