BAH !!
Well, was a fun dream for a couple nights.
Then you wake up and life goes on.
Thinking I might have to revert to Classic WU. The new additions (community activity and new post/refresh alerts at top of page) are very distracting to me and I don't yet know a way to turn them off/block them.
How are things going in your neck of the woods?
Anywhoo..on the "new" format ..if you click on "see all community activities" at the bottom of the little window..it will take you to a page where you can "pause" the activity..
then do a refresh and walla!!..it stops..(worked for me anyway)
And just because I care I'll leave you with this.. :)
Yeah, that's working on my laptop now.
Wouldn't stay paused on the desktop today.
Maybe set by a cookie and maybe the cookie got corrupted.
Will check the cookie jar.
Thanks for the tune too!
I loved that song way back when. Still cool.
It's all good Rob..
Tomorrows another day..
Glad you liked the tune..Classics Four..yeah
I"ll TTYL my friend..
Ps..you gotta watch out for that pottery guy..he's a sneaky one..
I think his sister in Arizona won the powerball and he's not sharing!!.. LOL
Later Rob.. :)
LOL
If he shows up with my boat he's in big trouble! Well, unless he offers me a ride!
Might not be able to blog from the deck tonight. Skeeters are a little thick.
Dog and I can enjoy the deck for a while longer.
Nothing compared to the pain that a dear friend is going through.
Rest well folks. Catch ya tomorrow!
Sunlight and tiny raindrops are flooding the garden with Sparkles and Glitter.
Parrots are squarking and orioles are singing songs of Promise.
For some of us, Life is Good.
I think I'll shoot off some emails to a friend that might need some Sparkle, Glitter and Promise today.
Last I heard from her she was flying back to AZ from Raliegh.
So maybe today she will check the ticket.......
Either that, or she's not sayin'......
Must have just missed you when I checked the blog earlier.
Wrapping up the week here. Might get out and mow the accumulating leaves from the maples that are trying to decide what season it is.
Trees here are also Confused....
Some are losing leaves very early.
Others are flowering entirely out-of-season.
But worst of all, my Calabash tree has lost most of it's leaves, and put them back on again!
I checked it this morning, and there are...
12 branches with old leaves
21 calabashes
12 branches with new leaves
That's 12/21/12, or 21/12/12 if you like. Just for ease of reference you understand.
The numbers seem familiar to me, but I dont remember why.
Morning Rob,
Hope your feeling better this am..
And your friend also..
Hey Pot..
I had to look up calabash in order to figure out what that is..kinda of a woody bush from what I understand..Is the fruit edible?..
And yes those numbers do seem familiar somehow.. :)
Happy Friday!
Pcola,
You don't reckon Pottery would manipulate the data do you? Of course, the thing about raw data is that you can often arrange it is such a way as to see what you were looking for.
I prefer to look at the branches first and the fruit after. That would yield 12-12-21. Of course that is not nearly as fun.
There are two different calabashes that I know of. One is a vine, the other a tree. I believe Pottery is referring to the tree variety...Crescentia.
I think I have a photo of it if I can find where on my server I stashed it.
In exchange for the tune.
:o)
Thanks for the link and photo..
Here's to your Friday being an exceptional one..
TTYL.. :)
Lunchtime!!!
It's a picture of that Peculiar Fellow again.
That pic of the Calabash is in the Dry Season.
I just sent you one from today.
It's a pretty tree with leaves on.
We have 4 different varieties in the garden, where the 'fruit' are either long, small, round, massive....
And no, they are not edible. Never seen anything eat them. Filled with a stink goo that goes from grey to blue when you cut them open.
When they are dry they will last forever.
Think "chack-chack" or "maracas" in the rhythm section of the Caribbean/Central American band.
Just waiting on a loaf of bread that Lady Pott has in the oven, then it's lunch here too !
Laters>>>>>>>>>>>>
Made with some whole wheat flour that comes from India. A little heavy, but very tasty indeed.
An area of heavy weather has been lurking just S/E of here for 3 days.
Today we can hear the distant Rumbles and it's overcast and dark.
Could use some proper rain to top the cisterns right up.
It will probably get here just as we are leaving to go into the City this evening.....
Rains are here.
Squally stuff, and quite dark and ominous.
Good weather for a Siesta, but too late in the day for that!
Looks like plenty more's a'comin'.....
Just rainless clouds blowing off the Gulf here today.
Rest well friends.
Catch ya in the AM.
Wishing you and yours a happy and safe December.
“How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss quotes
Spent the morning doing some planting at the WildFowl Trust.
It rained down in bucketloads and we were well soaked to the marrow, we were.
Still drizzling here on the house, but seems to be lifting a little.
Might be time for that elusive siesta in a few.......
Morning Rob..
Beautiful day here..
A good SEC football game coming up at 3pm if your interested.. :)
Maybe the cisterns will fill for you pottery, and the siesta sounds well deserved..Good work helping others my friend.. :)
Thanks for sharing that photo Rob and Pot.. :)
Good to see you, Pcola!
Me and Lady Pott (and others) have been involved in planting there for about 16 years !
Trying to re-create a forest that was there a long time ago. But the land is degraded, though getting better.
Nice project.
Lazy Saturday AM so far. Hope all is well for you guys.
Yes, growing a forest is a worthy project and a treasure to leave to future generations!
Well done Pott.
Enjoy the game and the afternoon Pcola.
Thanks!
Wishing you a great December as well!
She needed 3 bags of horse-manure.....
Drove there and back in heavy rain, offloaded the wet bags of HM in the rain, checked the levels of all cisterns and tanks in the rain, diverted some water-flow from one place to the other in the rain.
Oh, did I mention that it's raining?
Well, it is you know. An inch and a quart. so far. Constant drippy drizzle with sometimes heavy.
Now it's time for a hot shower and a glass of Medicinal Grog.
Yes. I know it's early. But one MUST take the medicine. Whether one wants to or not. Doctors orders, and all that.
To ward off the Lurgy.
I am taking my medicine early today as well. Just to make sure I don't get busy and forget.
40 F., 90 % RH with wind normally followed by frozen nose and toes. Since my GF sings with the choir attendance required. I see Rum Martini in the evening to ward off the chill.
Good to hear that although I know it will be a long time until things are "back to normal" for many.
The chill? Well, yeah, but have two...for the lurgy, which I hear is even worse than wet, sticky, manure!
Well, I had to accompany Lady P. to the plant shop.
She needed 3 bags of horse-manure.....
Why would she need four bags???
tic
tic

:)))
Watching yourself go by in the little Community Activity window thingie is like walking by a camera and monitor at the airport.
:)
Turns out that the Original bag of Horse Manure was somehow lacking.....
...if you really must know.......
:):))
I've come to talk with you again
Been busy, and wet.
Tomorrow is Monday again.
Yuck!
Anyway...Happy Monday.
Another pretty nice day here.
Makes me just wanna go out in the woods and goof off.
my lab rock brought me a gift yesterday
i 36 inch leg bone from what is i deer or an elk........found it in the dining room
nasty nasty nasty
Properly aged I presume?
Hey, at least he loves you enough to share!
