Beyond brilliant ... plus an entry, if one of us is lucky...
Well it’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Sunny and warm/cool in the way September Sundays are supposed to be. I’m at my kitchen table, thawing Italian sausage in the frying pan, washing a load ...

Fresh start....

Rain is bad...
.. well not all the time, but it’s made me lose two entries this morning. One of them had pictures and was ‘good’. The other was a minor bitch fest. Let’s see if this will save.
Lost lost shoe entry...
Damn. I just lost a whole complete entry with half a dozen pictures and lifeless, deathless prose. I’ll redo it but I have to mourn first.

S’io credesse che mia risposta fosse A persona che mai tornasse al mondo, Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma percioche giammai di questo fondo Non torno vivo alcun, s’i’odo il vero, Senza ...
I'm finding.... (and why)
.... Donald Hall interesting. Private note asked me why I find Donald Hall interesting. OK, here goes. Hall was my name before I was married. It’s a common English name. Compton’s Pictured E...
Funny how we give up people....
… or how they give us up. I have a number of people = mainly former OD friends - who I’ve given up. I’ve lost interest. I don’t like their politics. Etc. Etc. And now they’re gone. I can’t ...

Green oats....
We baled our oats before they got ripe, but you can see the shape of the grain and how it grows. Each one of those little green hulls contains an oat like the ones you get in your oatmeal. Oa...
As good a way to use up your internet as any....
Muddy and the Stones.
Read this...
Fitzgerald wrote this toward the end of his life. He couldn’t get it published. It’s only 800 words. It’s very good (There is a mistake in the second to last paragraph - the word ‘Hobbs’ shou...
Various forms of transportation
The Nina and the Pinta have been making their way up the Mississippi River. This weekend they are at the waterfront park in LaCrosse. We combined a car buying trip with a look at Columbus’s fl...
This Friday morning....
Thanks to the black cat fixing the radio and my recent interest in Twitter, I spent more time at the Democratic convention than I had in a long time. Since I am a Democrat (I have credentials) Li...

,,, always more. I’m really getting a lot of good out of the cat knocking the radio on the floor. The radio is a prized possession. It is a duplicate of the one I bought my husband for the firs...

From FB....
I’m not sure of the source but I tend to think it’s accurate. At least as accurate as a lot of what is being spread around as political truth. I copied it here because I didn’t want to lose it...
I seem to have lost my ability to write here. Again.
Not sure why. I’m never sure what makes me write. Pictures help. And for some reason right now anyway photobucket is not working well. I put up a couple pics a day or so ago with plans to pos...

Day 3
I opened drawer #4 and then closed it again. At least it would shut. Actually it had another phone book in it that I put in the trash. There was a complicated cord to something in the drawer...
So I tried it again.
Drawer number three defeated me. Besides manuals for farm equipment that has not been on the farm in 35 years, there was son John’s (good) report cards, a compass (the pointy kind with a hand s...
Back to work (various)...
I had a good day today. I worked with LL who is a very pleasant woman. We have various things in common and we were doing a reasonable job. It was a long fire engine harness and we had plenty ...
