Bubba James had to replace his old deer feeder because of the wildlife trashing it. The wildlife around here thinks we are here to serve them only. 👀 James bought a All Seasons Feeder. It's a 300 lb. broadcast deer feeder. Made of heavy gauge galvanized metal. This feeder should last Bubba James a lifetime. It holds eight bags of corn. It's a nice feeder. If you would like to learn more about All Seasons Feeders visit their site. There's several feeders to choose from. JOIN US BY SIGNING UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER.

I had a surprise this week. I was really surprised! Let's start from the beginning. I get a phone call from our son-in-law Matt asking if a strange box was delivered at our house. I didn't think anything of it, just thought he bought Kristen something. When Stace comes home from work he always checks the mail. He asked if we had got any mail. I had not checked the mail. I told him maybe the mailman put the mail in the feedroom. And Matt was expecting a package. Our mailman is good about putting our packages and mail in the feedroom so they don't get messed up. You gotta love small towns. I went out and checked and guess what there was this big box and the mail.😏 Came back to the house to get my phone. Called Matt, told him his big package was here. He asked if I could open the box to make sure it was the right color. I went back to the feedroom with Matt still on the phone. Opened the big box up...and there it was a new seat for my EZGO golf cart.😃😍😆 I never dreamed that I had a new seat coming. The old seat was a homemade one that I made to replace the original seat with. It was time for a new seat or I needed to make a replacement seat. Now I don't have to make the seat. 👏 OMG It even have handles now. WOW! WOW! I keep going out and looking at the new seat. It's just like Christmas! Thank you Matt and Kristen!

Blessings, Margarita & Stace How to Upcycle Tide Bottles into a DIY Planter for your plants. Reusing product packaging is a great way to help keep plastics out of our landfills. And, with a little inspiration, you can turn those used containers into fun, new household items by upcycling them. I don't know about you but, have you priced pots or planters for planting your plants in. The cost has skyrocketed. I'm just being a tight wode … and refuse to pay that much. So we came up with upcycling our containers. If you are like me you are always growing something. No need to spend money on pots and planters when you can just reuse a detergent bottle, cheese puff ball container or whatever nice size container you have. There are a few different ways you can do this.
I have shared just a few ideas on upcycling bottles. All you have to do is let your imagination run wild. There is so many ideas on the internet about reusing laundry bottles. Here are a few of the sites with some great ideas: Here are a few of the sites with some great ideas on using empty bottles.

Blessings, Margarita & Stace Nothing quenches our thirst on a hot day like an ice-cold glass of sweet tea. As the preferred beverage of Texans, sweet tea is a must-have in many kitchens and restaurants across Texas year-round. Brewing this beverage can be a simple task, but to truly make sweet tea the Texan way every time, here are a few tips and tricks. Sad truth: I have probably had way more Sweet Tea in my life than plain water. I know that sounds crazy but it is a fact. A pitcher of it existed on every supper table through my youth into my adult life. In our home, sweet tea was the beverage of choice (whether I wanted it or not) for almost every meal. You can still find sweet tea in our fridge. We drink sweet tea on a daily basis. Sweet Tea is commonly known as brewed tea that has been sweetened with usually sugar then served ice cold in a refreshing manner. The appeal of a Sweet Tea Recipe is pretty clear: Ice cold tea with heaps of sugar to cut that tea tartness. Whoever invented this was a genius! Most Texans would like you to believe that there is a real science to making this beverage but I think that’s just a bunch of cow poop…that has been brainwashing folks for years. The reality is it is quite simple to make a good ole fashioned homemade Sweet Tea Recipe. I didn’t have a real recipe to share in this post. In fact, the recipe below is more of a guideline than a set recipe to follow. So really you only need like 3 (or 4) things to create this homemade sweet tea recipe:
Tip: The longer you brew your tea, the stronger it will be. However don’t worry too much because as soon as you add ice, you will dilute the strength somewhat. For the sugar, this is up to your taste. I know folks who love their tea to taste as sweet as candy and then others that like theirs a bit on the bitter side. Again, it’s up to your taste. Tip: The safe way to approach this is by adding half of the sugar, allowing it to dissolve completely and then tasting and deciding how much more to add. Lemon or mint? That’s more of a new aged thing to some. My mama certainly would think so...we only had lemon when guest was over. I love adding them to my glass pitcher because of the additional flavor infused in the tea and how lovely it looks swirly around in my mason jar. For entertaining you can add them to your pitcher to make the color pop! What Tea Brand Should I Use For My Homemade Sweet Tea Recipe? Now for tea bags, the South is pretty loyal to Luzianne,& Lipton. We have HEB grocery stores in our area; they make a great selection of tea bags. We use HEB tea bags (half the price of the name brand). So grab one of those boxes of tea and get busy. When it is all said and done, making a Sweet Tea Recipe is no sweat, believe me, and it is a very personal thing. Make it your own and enjoy a big glass for me, okay? Did you make this recipe? Please give it a star rating and leave comments below! Sweet Tea RecipeINGREDIENTS

Blessings, Margarita & Stace When we bought our place 12 years ago we didn’t hardly have any grass growing in our yard. The previous owners had planted a few squares of Carpet grass in the backyard. Over the years those four little squares started taking off, especially since I had started watering our Big Oak Tree in the backyard that was looking a little stressed with the heat. After a few weeks of watering Stace asked me if I had noticed the grass in the backyard, I told him that I had noticed that the carpet grass is finally spreading (I grew up calling it carpet grass). Well the real name for it is Saint Augustine. My sweet husband always pulls on my heartstrings, he was so excited about our yard having carpet grass. He said he has never lived where they had carpet grass, when he was growing up. He said “Most Farmers and Ranchers didn’t really have time to think about landscaping, life was about the livestock”. When you look out our back door you see the backyard and you also see the Deer, Horses, and Goats. So when I look up and see him looking out the back door, you would think he is checking on the livestock, but I can tell he is actually looking at the yard. Isn’t that the sweetest thing ever? All this got me to thinking how to care and maintain Saint Augustine grass, so I started checking into it. Saint Augustine grass is a coarse-textured, spreading grass that is popular throughout warmer regions of the Southern United States. It will turn brown with fall freezes and will be slow to green in the spring. It is the least cold tolerant of the warm-season turf grasses. After all the researching, all I can say is WOW! You have to be a scientist to grow this stuff!! Reading everything you’re supposed to do for this grass makes my head hurt! All we have done over the last few years is water and use our compost pile, we just spread it out on the yard and let it do it’s thing. With that said here is the link to Texas A&M site and you can read what they say about how to care for your Saint Augustine (carpet grass) in your yard. Stace’s mom, Claudia was told to contact her local County Ag Extension Office about her yard. She found out they will come out for free and tell you what needs to be done to your yard, Isn’t that great!? Claudia said they came out and told her what was wrong with the yard and was very nice about it. So if you are having a problem with you Carpet Grass Contact your local County Ag Extension Office if you have questions about your yard. Hope this helps you who have this kind of yard.
