Memories of Clyde Parker

Memories of Clyde Parker

I was born May 11th, 1876 near Denton, Texas. I came to the Territory in 1887 with an uncle. There were two wagons. We drove horses. We crossed the Red River at Delaware Bend and settled at Prices Falls in Sorghum Flat. We lived in a double log house with one by twelve foot boards for the floors. We had a rock chimney and cooked in a skillet with a lid.

We’re quickly approaching the halfway point of the session. Seven weeks in, and we’ll spend the next three weeks working on House bills in our committees. A total of nearly 420 bills made it out of the House and just over 450 Senate bills, including 16 of mine, were approved in our chamber.

Many Pine Trees To Recover From Historic Cold

Many Pine Trees To Recover From Historic Cold

Why are my shrubs and pine trees brown? This question has been asked by MANY recently, and the short answer is that we have experienced an arctic weather event recently of historic proportion. Be PATIENT if you can, is the second answer. On several site visits this past week, shrubs that are normally very cold hardy, such as holly, are even brown. However, in most every case, the browning is on the outside six or eight inches, and there is green on the inside. Nandina plants most generally took it in the shorts on top, but there again, closer observation reveals green down low. Boxwoods the same.
