mim, you are so blessed that he is okay and simply (ha!) without power. i live in hurricane country and know that being without power is never simple, perhaps i should have said how nice that he and his wife still have a roof. or perhaps i should just hush as i seem to be digging myself in deeper. my heart goes out to the people who lost so much in such horrific storms.

mim, meeting judy was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. she is everything she appears to be online: funny, witty, intelligent, friendly, generous, genuine, and beautiful. we talked until we were hoarse and the rest of the time we would just look at each other and grin. there was no shyness; it was like we had known each other for always, but then we have known each other for always, we'd just never been able to see each other while we were talking before. i pray that she and her wonderful husband, mike, loved sanibel so much that they have to come back every year.

hi, y'all.
happy women's history month. we've come along way. my favorite is the second picture.
nina, great brooch. looks like it went with hoop skirts to me. have you learned to use your camera's macro setting (the one with the flower icon)?
mim, your part of the world sounds beautiful.
we just got 3-1/2" of rain in 2 hours, which i thought was quite beautiful; it is fire season down here.

i have to keep batt'ries bought up all the time due to modern technology; but water and ice i only buy when a 'cane is coming, and i try to lay off of bread because it is loaded with salt. jess's favorite hurricane food is beanie wienies.

well, down here, bread and milk disappear from stores along with water and ice, just before hurricanes.

bama, that cartoon is too true to be offensive. (well, perhaps the libyan rebels might not think it's funny, but those people don't laugh much.)

evening, y'all.
it finally quit raining today. 5 inches in 3 days, and now we are supposed to have a cold snap tomorrow (oh, please, oh, please) but it is 81 today.
bananas and pineapple are superb together. i put pineapple in my banana pudding.

birdsis & hotc, loading your avatar may cause you a little gnashing of teef. i was terribly upset when i couldn't get mine to load especially after i had gone to all the trouble of getting my glamour shot made. it has been my experience that just as soon as you email the webmaster for help, everything works fine.

i took one to a family/friends dinner and watched a couple of my male buddies standing over it deep in conversation, and they both kept shaving off inch thick slices and eating them like candy. they wiped out a third of it and never knew it. 🙂

bama - i couldn't not send you some after you gave me that awesome key lime poundcake recipe. that recipe has made me famous. jessie's boyfriend fixed my fence and when i asked how i could ever repay him he said 'key lime poundcake.'

evening, y'all.
jred, august is one of my least favorite months, too. it is when the 'canes really crank up. it is wicked hot and so humid and the skeeters are awful, even with mosquito control.irene seems aimed right at us.
my mama's daddy loved the song irene, goodnight. and her family actually sang. (my great uncle frank could sing great speckeled bird and make you cry)
sometimes i live in the city,
sometimes i live in the town.
sometimes i take a great notion
to jump in the river and drown.leon russell did it as good as anybody.

evening, y'all.
i tried to navigate the new threaded boards and was majorly underwhelmed.
mim, hawks are territorial. their relatives were coming to those big trees hundreds of years ago. that's what i tell myself about my own hawk family. i got a lot madder at them back when i used to have chickens.

-
evening, y'all.
i just slipped off my rubber boots. at least i got some fancy brown and blue ones from tractor supply. i'd like a break from the rain. i got dog and horse feed today and had to drive like a booh to get home before it got soaked.
-
jred, it's starting again. buck has already gone to his bunker (hall between bathroom and living room) and the bathroom and bedroom doors Must be closed or it ain't safe enough to suit him. i bet people in houston is short tempered.
-
bama, i was reading an ebay guide to collecting antique enamelware and when i got to the last paragraph, i howled, but it shows how much ebay cares, even about their own guides.
-
it got so nasty looking here i rushed out and fed the horse and gathered a few key limes before the bottom fell out. we got at least an inch and a half of rain; the rain gauge doesn't work all that well when the rain is blowing sideways. the power went out twicet and buck and slick are in a post thunderstorm trauma induced coma. i put a pot of peanuts on to boil, hoping the power will stay on for the rest of the day.
-
jred, i looked at a bush the other day and counted 5 baby frogs on one limb. and they weren't those awful african jabba the hut looking frogs; they were little baby florida native frogs. 🙂
-
i just got back from the post office, and i am not going back outside until it is time to feed the horse. it's hot out there. but i do hear thunder...
i suppose the citizens of gainesville are doing an end zone dance. i'm not so happy, myownself.

t-gal, obviously you need your own, so that 'someone' can move his around wherever he wants to and yours will still be where you left it. you could get tate a collar with a zipper compartment, she's all growed up now.

evening, y'all. on my way out to feed the horse before the monsoon started, i just nearly stepped on the resident black snake/ gave myself the big one. i have fussed at buck and slick about it until they don't notice the snake anymore. apparently neither do i.
jred, that is a lovely picture.
gadda, nice picture of you and the mister, too.

i just read some bad news on the glass board. lucy, of lucysgoodies passed away last night. she was a friend of the antiquers, too.
and today was zenobiasui (zeno)'s birthday. we will never quit missing her.

oh, look at tate all grown up. she is beautiful. tell her not to listen to all those things mean people say about blondes.
maddie is beautiful, too. i love how her ears curl up. when you start talking real sweet to her do they curl up more?
i can start crooning to buck and his will roll up like window shades.

i didn't say that oncet, but it kept running through my head.

as far as i know, it is the only board where he posts and he does nothing about the evil. typical of the brave new ebay.
ebay called me yesterday and i talked to a lovely young woman named nannette. she told me all about ebay's wonderful new changes. i was pleasant in my comments about the 80 characters, but when she got to the part about the 14 and 30 day returns, my head spun around a couple of times and the compliments stopped. she finally said "well, i have put down your feed back for them and they check it every day." and i said "oh, good. do you think they will call me back?" and she said "no, probably not." poor nannette.
-
i hadn't given one thought to the angst and anguish ebay would be suffering from not realizing any financial gain from the new boards, but now i have. smiling broadly.
-
jred how's your mahoe doing? (hibiscus tiliaceus) the blooms are really cool. they start out yellow in the morning and turn dark red by the afternoon.
-
thank you, t-gal. i try.

mim - beautiful baby. welcome to both of you.

good morning: my first morning without rain for awhile. i have to call mosquito control to fly over my place with a dc-3. no kidding. if i call them, they will come.

thanks, judy. the stirrup cup was the original 'one for the road'. i found one, and i can show it without hearing from a pink.
stirrup cup -
today's lesson is on the history of the stirrup and although non-horse people may not read it as raptly as i did, on the edge of my seat with my mouth open, or even at all, the stirrup has been compared to the wheel and the printing press in importance .
i used dan derby's article because it is lighthearted but has much the same information as some of the much drier stirrup histories. for the true gluttons for punishment, a group to which i belong, i am including some of the drier histories as well.
