Rain, weeds, hot, cold, tornadoes and alligators

Texas weather, one day rain, one day it's hot, the next it's cold and to top it off we have tornadoes and hail. We do have gladiolas coming up in the flowerbeds, along with the weeds.
Our yard is a swamp from the rain. I'm trying not to gripe, we desperately need the rain. Our lake has water in it again! Praise the Lord!!
Our weeds are up to my knees in some spots...our lawnmower is broken!! Help!!

My husband isn't very mechanical. I bought a new battery and spark plug, I put those on and itstill doesn't work...my little cute house looks like poor, white trash!!

Let's not mention that I have naturally curly hair, I had the 80's perm look before it was popular! But with this weather, I have the fuzziest, biggest hair you can imagine!!! I have tried "frizz ease" to no avail, my good chi iron fell and broke!! The revlon one doesn't do the trick...what is one to do.


A friend of mine, Rhonda found this in her tank yesterday. Actually her husband had known they had an alligator living in their tank for about 5-6 months.
Around here we call ponds, tanks.

He had to wait until "gator season" opened to do anything about it.

Well, here it is in all of it's glory. Tommy loaded it onto a 16 ft. trailer so that gives you some sort of idea how long the gator is.

Understand...I live in a small Texas town...the gator, rain, tornadoes and hail have all made the news!! I'm sure the hair is the talk of the town also...you can't miss it.
Happy Wednesday!!!

Oh my goodness, look at that gator! I'm in Texas too, but I certainly hope there aren't any of those hiding in our creek!

Nice place you have here. :)
