Sweet Corn


Mmm, had some of the seasons first ears tonight. I love it when it's fresh and sweet. Always a bummer to get it home and cooked only to find it is chewy. Fresh and crisp, that's the best.

August and everything after...

August is winding down... another 99 degree day. tomorrow will be a change of pace. 70 and T storms. This is the rainy season here. it's scattered showers mostly. P is back in class. high school now. My how time flies. She says in some of her classes, she is the only freshmen. I told her not to worry. soon enough the tides will be turned. Senior year comes up fast.
Remember when....

Harry Potter

I finished the book... Not exactly as I thought it would go. But a good story overall. Lots of action. Stop in your local Library on your back road.. :)

HARRY!!

lol, P has finished the last Harry Potter book.... Now it's my turn to read it. She has been sworn to secrecy. You should read the series... go to the library in disguise... I won't tell. :)

Observe

Sometimes I am not very Observant. Yesterday I was out back watering my flowers and the neighbor came out her back porch checked her grill and went back in. I said "hello"
She smiled and went in. a few drops of water later i realized I hadn't seen her before.
I went out front to pull some weeds.. There was a different car in the driveway and a guy pulling out a dent from the front panel. "Home mechanics". I went inside and asked P when the old neighbors moved out and we got new ones??!! She said last week. She said they brought in a moving van and moved in one day. Wow, that's got to be a record I'm thinking. I will have to find them again and take some notes!

Fishing for Squirrels




It's the newest rage in animal population management..
really it is!

Tropical paradise??


Looks like white sandy beaches, huh!?! And though the water was very warm, in the 90's I think.. This wasn't the Carribean. This is in western Utah! Near the Bonneville salt flats. The white stuff is salt. Went by here with T about a month ago and it was solid salt. It has rained a lot there recently so now there is water again. neat. While we were here resting our toes in the warm waters... We met a real Carribean native. He was passing through the area and had heard about it and had to see for himself. A very nice fellow. Great accent too! He couldn't believe how salty the water was. He said he lives in the ocean and there is still life in it. Here it is too salty. I waded out a bit and got him some water and salt to take home with him. :) Such the good samaritian I am.

They really go threw extreams! From what they are saying, I am really not cut out for it... driving across a frozen lake will get to me!

Bon Jovi

Well, it's been a couple of weeks and my ears have finally quit ringing. lol! Standing room only...
I found out what that means! Good Times all around.
Now I'm ready to go at it again :)
