Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
need - prayers for a good report for your hub. R had routine follow up scans the other day and we are waiting for the results. It's not nice. Wow 46 years. Awesome!!!
nacy - I just couldn't take the risk!
I wish the dentist would acknowledge that I must be doing something right even if it is not altogether what they suggest. Dr's too, A few years ago as my dr was away, I went to my dd's dr for my driver's medical and she looked at me and at my info and said "There must be something wrong here." I said , "No. I am (at that time) 84 and I can do squats." and proceeded to show her. I told her I don't go to my dr very often. With a frown on her face, her answer was "You'd better get to your doctor".
Why? I wasn't sick! I just needed a driver's medical.
What are y’all planting this spring season?
Tulips are so beautiful! Hope yours survive the snow!
Newbie,
Mallards are so pretty. The colors are gorgeous. Y’all have the most delicious lobster! I enjoy going to New England in the fall. We had delicious lobsters in Kennebunkport, Maine. Maine is lovely.
Here in the south, we don’t have four distinct seasons. We never have a long brutal winter. Spring is brief and our summers are hot and humid! Not much of an autumn here. No beautiful fall foliage.
I would enjoy seeing fall foliage. I have to travel north to see the leaves changing colors.
I don’t like cold weather at all. I think snow is beautiful but I would have to get used to living in a place where snowfall was commonplace.
It amazes me that my youngest daughter fell in love with the cold weather and the snow when she lived in Denver. She hates the humidity and heat that we have here in the summer.
Do you live in a rural area with lots of wildlife?
He had blood drawn today so we will find out Monday how he’s doing.
Sounds beautiful! The evil beavers remark made me giggle. Please share some beaver stories with us.
I am a city gal but one of my favorite movies is with Chevy Chase, Funny Farm.
It’s so cute! Have you seen it? The couple from the city move to the country so he can write a novel. The plot is hysterical!
That’s wild! Now I see why you call beavers evil.
You know what? The beavers were there before man was. They live and build in water.
So pretty much man gets the choice to live in his cities with concete under his feet not grass, or he learns how to share the habitat with the wildlife who was there long before man was.
It is true that we have invaded wildlife’s territory. The animals have to have a place to live.
It’s amazing how wolves are traveling along highways now.
Bears are ending up in people’s yards, so are alligators and coyotes.
There are challenges for those who live close to wildlife. I feel for you.
Farmers are always dealing with challenging issues.
We are all part of the circle of life, yet it can be difficult to live harmoniously.
There are problems in the city with wildlife too.
Coyotes will eat small dogs if owners don’t supervise their pets. Alligators will end up in swimming pools when there is severe flooding.
That may happen. Coyotes prey upon small animals.
Mankind has been eating and farming for a very long time without beavers, coyotes, and other wildlife becoming extinct. As for food sprouting from concrete, well it's true that it doesn't.
That being said, former in-laws live in a three-family apartment style house in a city with a backyard the size of a postage stamp. Yet, they grew so much produce in that small space that they were able to give it away and also do canning. They bought very little produce.
You forget I'm Greek and Italian and we grow produce no matter where we're living so your farmer argument is kind of weak.
Let me ask you something. According to your profile, you're an "at home" mom which I assume to mean you don't work and your husband provides for you and the family. Does your husband make the family's living growing crops or raising livestock? Is he a farmer?
Or do you have hobby farm? Making a living off the land and playing at it are two very different things.
Making a living at it and doing it for fun are two very different things.
What's on my mind is this return of winter. ❄❄❄ Don't like it!!!
Cross posted, cw. I want to see the snow gone too. Hope your seedlings do well.
