Agree jmski52! Of course I was born & raised there You should check out the "Bean Supper" in Mustang, Ok 4th July
Cohodk, that quote was from last year/summer Now we having typical 90/80 or 80/90 weather her in Bama. Those are temp./humid ratios! LOL! BTW, what happened to the dog? I see a leash & collar but no dog
All's well in Guitarwesville. Sweet corn's just about to make. Been pickin' taters, squash, and okra like mad. Tomatos are almost red. Plenty of rain and sunshine. Chickens, goats, cows, and donkeys are happy happy happy.......

Around here, we grow citrus and avocados. Lots of new growth on all the trees, bumper orange crop last year. (triple the previous year, which was 10x the year before that... at this rate, if it continues, we'll be able to supply the world market in a few years) Just kidding, they're fairly young trees. Things can't keep growing or going up at the same % rate from a low or slow start.. or else China's economy would grow bigger than the earth someday, and silver would go to infinity!)
Well, guess what? We had a heat wave just as the oranges were flowering, killed all the blooms, and this year, not a single orange, not one!
Must be regression toward the mean Also in the news: China's growth slowing
Sorry to hear of the loss of your oranges. Cleary though, you are blessed in other ways. Don't miss a moment's time with your daughter, there isn't anything else that's worth more than this time right now, it will be over too fast.

Well it's sure been beautiful this past Christmas week, temperatures in the 70's and 80's a few miles from the coast, hot dry wind off the desert for a few days now ("Santa Ana winds")
I planted two trees this afternoon between my last post here and this one, apricot and cherry, tomorrow plum and another lemon.

Mt. Hood! I lost my wedding ring in the parking lot at the lodge in 1974. When I realized that it was missing, I drove back to the mountain that night and found it right where I had parked, just as the snow was coming down.
Have fun skiing, Baley. I wish I was there!

Thanks! Gorgeous lodge, aka the exterior of the Overlook in The Shining. Absolutely stunning buffet for lunch.
Coincidentally, while looking at a couple of cabins for sale, lost my wedding ring at one of them (don't know which) Luckily, was my sterling silver "travel" ring and not the platinum one.
Ah, Baleyville. Here we've had a temperate Spring with just the right amount of rain and sunshine. The fruit trees are in bloom and I've been planting new walnut saplings to replace some of the ones that never made it. The tulip tree and redbud trees are blooming, so now would be the time to take pics of the house in case we ever decide to sell it. Not likely though, as the place is starting to shape up. The pecan trees and some of the walnut trees are a good 1 1/2 inches in diameter now - they've grown faster in the past year, so we might actually get some nuts some day soon.
It's almost too late to burn the field for the warm season grasses, so I might just opt to mow it this year. Burning the field is helpful in keeping a quail habitat. It also makes a very impressive carbon footprint.
I took some martial arts lessons this winter, and had to let it slide. Interesting stuff. I might try it again but work got in the way, and my old knee injury reminded me that maybe I shouldn't risk it too much.
My grandson has now turned 5, and let me tell you - the conversations have become much more interesting lately. He reminds me to wash my hands, tells me that his mom "doesn't go that way" into town, insists on having cheesy breadsticks when I order from Papa Johns, and wants to go with me to Tractor Supply, the Post Office and Menards whenever I go. He "likes the smell" of the Post Office. I'm much more careful about uttering expletives these days. I'm not taking the hit for that!
We lost our Newfie over a year ago to complications, and our little Schnauzer is now undergoing treatments for cancer. Tears me up - she's a real trooper, and we're doing what we can. The Chessie is a great dog and is still doing ok, but she's getting older too. Our lives continue to evolve. Life continues and we appreciate what we have. If I had a choice, I'd freeze-frame it right here.
I hope your Baleyville is doing okay.

I manage money. I earn money. I save money . I give away money. I collect money. I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Cohodkville went south of the border to San Quintin, Mexico this weekend to deliver 2 dental chairs and related equipment and clothing and bicycles to those who can only wish to realize the problems of America. While crossing the border we had to pay an "import duty" to the local border "inspectors"---and some here say corruption is so bad in the great USA. The Flying Samaritans operate several clinics throughout Baja Mexico and for many residents is the only access they have to medical, vision and dental care. Imagine only being able to see the dentist once a month (if the dentist is able to make it due to bad weather). There was a protest (for higher wages for workers) the next town over where 3 people were killed (makes Baltimore look like a Christmas party, eh?). So before you complain about how bad you have it in your "ville", realize that many people on this planet envy your problems. Highlight of the trip was giving a teenage girl the gift of vision with a new pair of glass. Her prescription was about a -8. She couldnt see a thing. I can still see her smile when she saw her mom and siblings clearly.
The green building is the clinic. The brown dually on the right is mine that I drove to deliver about a ton of dental equipment, clothing, and toys.
My boys learning how to do eye exams.
My boys and ex (wheres Stan and "your wife left you" nonsense) handing out candy to some very happy and grateful kids.

This is awesome. I can only imagine how bad a -8 is. I thought my eyes were bad with a -5.75. I couldnt imagine life without glasses. Can't read, see TV, drive etc without em. This is truly a life changer for this girl, happy you were able to make a difference.

Well thank you JohnnyCache (great name you got there) this year's oranges and lemons should be awesome, we've had some really favorable weather during the critical weeks, and although it looks like another year of the ongoing drought in California, there should be plenty of fruit. Spending a lot of time with the family, you're right the time flies.

Well said jmski52, well said.. Can't freeze frame it, but at least can carpe diem. Nice trip and pics cohodk, and of course the Hawaiian beaches are always great renski, shaka brah
Dug some new 'taters night before last. Corn is tossling. Picked some beans last night. Squash to be picked tomorrow. Tomatoes and butter beans are blooming. Cows and goats are fat on green grass. Grass is cut for the 3rd time already. Mama and baby are doing good. I woke up this morning. Er'thing is A-OK in guitarwes-ville.
