Just pondering this and that.  Apparently the woman that peppersprayed the Black Friday shopping crowd at Walmart is thinking of suing the store.  She claims that she was acting in self defense as people were attacking her children.  The whole Black Friday thing just makes me twitch.  I refuse to go.  Some folks nuts when you get in the way of " ( Read more... )

Over on FB.  Take five minutes to watch and be amazed by this beautiful planet we inhabit.

and accomplish something today.   Have two phone calls to make.  I may do everything else first. LOL  We all know how much I _love_ to talk on the phone.  Or may just bite the bullet and do it first.  Then off to Lowe's to get a new kitchen faucet and garbage disposal.  The faucet still works but after almost 6 years of water shooting everywhere, I ( Read more... )

Attended the "everything but the oink" event at Rock Ledge Historical Ranch yesterday.  The weather was supposed to be cold and windy, with a chance of rain, which we got for about 15 minutes.  Other than that, very little wind, mostly sunny.  The event was poorly attended, as usual.  Most people are not into watching a pig being butchered.  ( Read more... )

Left over Hallowe'en candy.  Usually I get a few kids but this year none.  Made a nice fritatta for breakfast.  A few pieces of bacon, some onions from the garden, and some spinach with a dozen eggs.  Breakfast for the rest of the week.  Maybe.  It's so goooooooooooood.  Will roast pepitas tonight.  Still cleaning off the "stringers" from the two ( Read more... )

Except for a few onions and the cabbage (coming in in a few days), we're done for the fall.  In general, the garden was pretty productive.  Bell peppers off and on did well, tomatoes as well.  Cabbage, for some reason, is not wanting to head up although they're starting to look more like real cabbage heads now.  I think semi cool start to the ( Read more... )

I'm mad at my Nana.  she has not been updating on my activities!  I know that everyone out there in the interwebs is very interested in my every activity.  I am very interesting ( Read more... )

Since I've visited either dreamwidth or LiveJournal.  Yes, I am still alive and kicking. Still an ill tempered old coot.  Still crotchety.

Since it's mid September, I've pretty much put my garden to bed.  Still have a bell pepper plant going good, and one tomato plant.  Picked most of the onions, still have about half a dozen that need to be ( Read more... )
