• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's the weather like where you are? (10)

Prayers! Is your area prone to floods?

Not particularly. We're normally high and dry. There are creeks, streams, as well as a river that goes through town, but work on that over the years has limited possible flooding that used to take place. That being said, we're in a flood watch through Sunday afternoon. That mostly takes into account the river rising and local streams and creeks going over their banks throughout what is largely open countryside.
We've had a lot more rain than usual so far this year, especially in April, and they're saying we'll get quite a bit over the weekend. But being in the north part of Texas we're much better off than those along the coast.

That's good. How is your okra doing?

My mother wasn't much of a gardener, but she planted spinach once. I was only eight. We had a storm and the hail beat the little seedlings. She only planted radishes after that. But we usually lived in apartments, so no gardening.

The temperatures have been so up and down that the plants just sat there until this week. They like steady warm/hot weather. This week they doubled in size. They should grow rapidly now.

That's a shame. I love getting outside and playing with the plants.

Spring is here. No more frosts.

Mama mallard is still on her nest near my front porch. She isn't startled by me any more. But it seems like it's time for those eggs to hatch. It takes about 30 days. But I didn't write down the date when I first saw her.

My riding mower died. My daughter and I are going half and half on the new one.
