howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas
where our mini-drought is continuing, look here at this lawn that
is starting to get cracks:

that one there is about 20 feet long and if we don't get rain soon it
will grow to 6 to 8 inches across.

got another Road Runner photo today, see him?

he's over in the shade blending into the background.

I thought that meme was pretty amusing but of course not very
accurate unless you're talking about Texas Cowgirls or country
girls in general from these parts.

Unfortunately most girls aren't in the country so that meme is
highly exaggerated. But for the ones that are, it's very accurate.
I've talked alot about Texas Cowboys but not about Texas Cowgirls
or country girls so I'll do that today.

I've lived all over but Texas women, at least in the rural areas.. are
different. At first you think they're very unfriendly. Then you realize
that they aren't unfriendly, they are just reserved, quiet, and don't
go out of their way to be social when you first meet them.

At first you might think mean, or standoffish but that's not true. I
think at first they're assessing. They're studying you. They don't
make rash decisions.. generally speaking.

But once you prove your trust then you'll find that they are warm,
caring, compassionate and loyal to a fault. Just like most women
everywhere, it just takes longer to get to that point. They're tough
too and savvy, sharp and wise.

Haha! the other day at Walmart we saw a country girl with a tee-
shirt on that said "Don't flatter yourself Cowboy... I was staring
at your truck!" and that one line just captures the character of
so many Texas gals.

Lots of 'em ride too.

Fort Worth is home to the Cowgirl Hall of Fame which surprises
some people but they DO have one just like the men.
this statue is in front of the building:

That's all for today folks, I hope you enjoyed getting a tiny glimpse
of the Texas Cowgirl. My parting advice: if you deal with one, save
yourself a WHOLE HEAP of trouble and don't make her mad!

thanks for reading folks!

you prominently display a gift you bought at Graceland!

Don’t lose your lawnmower in those cracks now! I think all women should be a little more reserved, at least when it comes to men. They shouldn’t just be throwing themselves out there like so many are today.

howdy @hebrewhousewife! good to see you..yes Ma'am well you can't get much more reserved than the ones in the rural areas but I'm sure the cities have gone berserk like all the rest.

ha! when I saw your comment I thought wow why haven't I seen hebrewhousewife anywhere so I just went to your blog and I'd missed a couple of posts, one with guns!! dang! hey if I don't comment on one of your posts just holler at me and say hey did you miss my post?! I'm serious. goin there now! God bless you!

Haha! Well, I’ve been taking just a little time away to get my voting power up to snuff. You are under no obligation to visit all my posts, but I sure appreciate all those that read them!

yes Ma'am I appreciate them and it's my pleasure to read and upvote them. I've never seen a gun post before so that was great! I didn't even know if people did any with guns so now I know. My voting power is never up to snuff, like right now it's at 47% but I just can't not vote for people and expect them to vote for me. God bless you, keep up the good work!

You could be talking about any country girl. We have to be tough. We are loyal to a fault, but darn it, don't ever cross us!

hahaha! exactly! I tried to warn people!

There are so many Californians moving to Texas that those will be Texas boys soon enough.

Never been to Graceland.

great. the Once Great State of Texas. well at least ya'll who are sick of hearing about Texas can have a good laugh then because she sure ain't gonna never be the same again.

Graceland..yeah but you could have gotten a wonderful gift from there!

You mean one of those Elvis plates? ( hee hee)

Texas women are my kind of people! I like that first photo...a lot.

the meme? hahaha.. now that's just plain mean!
what's wrong with those Elvis plates??

I think the plates are better than those roadside paintings don't you?

hey now you're treading on thin ice, that's gettin awful close to redneck blasphemy there! lol. I think they're both great!

LMAO!!!!!

great writing about culture,,,

thank you @steyn and howdy from Texas! have you started posting yet?

yeah, we should follow our culture...

yes most of the time, unless a society is extremely dysfunctional(like California no no I'm just teasing, kinda.) we should try to maintain our culture and preserve it. Make improvements but keep the core values which made it great to begin with.

i see what you did there ! ahahaha

what? I assure you I am totally innocent!

sureeeeeeeee you are @janton. I believe you ;) hehe

I long to be a cowgirl, but @bowentroyer hasn't bought me a horse...says they are just hay eaters. I feel like a horse could be a prepping item. How is he going to round up the cows without a 4 wheeler when the world goes to crap?!

yeah! he can't argue against that logic! besides, you can get to town on one, easier than a bicycle. They do eat a ton though, but so beautiful and would look so good there, my gosh Kentucky is the horse state.

I chose those photos because i love the power of horses and those photos showed their muscles bulging with power!

besides, look at the amount of videos that a horse would provide, people would be wanting you to post all the time about the horse!
