Lovely!

Aww, Mau, was yesterday your birthday? Hope you had a good one!

And, yes, we all miss Mike.

In the summertime, they give away the produce on Saturday mornings, and whatever is left over is offered to the congregation on Sunday morning. If anything is left from that, the produce goes to the Catholic church nearby, since they maintain a food pantry. However, the minister's wife is an excelle...

Aww, yes, he looks like a blue heeler. They are very smart dogs. I'm glad he found a loving home.

I'm very familiar with that meme of Giorgio Tsoukalos. We call him "Tsoukalos of the Beauteous Hair." He is impossible to dislike somehow. My daughter's mind works like her father's, and I am in awe of both of them from time to time. All of your speculation is intriguing, Mau. At times I'v...

When I was a kid the word on the street was that McDonald's "special sauce" was Thousand Island dressing. Couldn't prove it by me. Our church has a large expanse of land in front of it that can't be used for building because it's too wet. Several years ago our minister decided to have volu...

One of the things I laugh at most about Ancient Aliens is the way they discredit all human ingenuity. Anytime anybody ever had a creative ot innovative thought, they say it's because the aliens taught them. When my daughter was in high school, she took an advanced biology course in which she excelle...

I'd never even heard of them before we got Brindle, but her body and coloring reflected that breed. Her face was more like a spaniel's. She was a very high energy dog and lived to be over fourteen years old.

My husband loves the Ancient Aliens series, so I've seen lots of that. I'm not totally sold on it, though I do think they raise some provocative questions from time to time. Like you, though, whether aliens exist or not has no effect on my religious faith. God is infinitely creative. If we're really...

The only photos I have of Brindle are not digital. I'll have to search to find them. Honestly, I never expected to use actual photos. I just found stencils of cats, which are plentiful at Halloween. There are fewer images of dogs, and none that look like Brindle, who was a mutt. The vet speculated t...

A Bold Return to Giving a Damn. That was the name of the book. The guy who wrote it was a 6th generation farmer. Oh, and I utterly agree about the tomatoes. I've been told that the ones you buy at the store are picked green and subjected to some kind of gas that turns them red, but they aren't reall...

We all need to drink more water. My daughter read a book she passed along to me, written by a farmer in Georgia who has eschewed "industrial" farming for the more wholesome, traditional type. I can't recall the title right now. But some of the stuff he wrote was scary. He said that the che...

Lol yes indeed.

You have a fairly ambitious garden going there! I wish you great success.
