Ponderisms

I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Garden Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement..

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway..

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird.. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out?"

Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt."

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if he's going to look up there anyway?

Tis Friday and the outside looks inviting.  Yesterday, before it got blazing hot, my grandson and I had a lovely stroller hike over to the boat launch.  He was all eyes and watching everything but once at the water, he promptly fell asleep. Then when we got home, he woke up and was ready to play. By now Grandma was ready to sit and do nothing.  Oh well, he rules and we had a marvelous day.

So far (give me a break) my tomatoe topsy turvy plant is doing great.  I even planted some flowers (someone gave them to me) and they are thriving..I am watering these suckers every morning, so maybe I have figured out how to do this sheet after all.  Hey, I was a farm kid and as a kid, we grew everything and had no issues but I just forgot how to do this stuff...imagine that!!! Think I may get a couple green pepper plants and try my luck with them too.  Hey, I am not into this garden business, just a few plants to keep me entertained, okay?

I know, this time of year one does not need to feed the birds, but I continue to offer up bird seed and they continue to come to the feeders -- I do enjoy the little buggers. Wish to hell the crackles or crows or black birds would go away tho -- they are hogs.  Oh well, saw my first hummingbird the other day and wow, that is a pretty bird.  I will attemtp to capture him on film soon..did this years ago with a video camera and it was awesome.

Okay its Memorial Weekend, please remember the real purpose behind this day and thank those serving today and those who served in the past and especially those who gave their all for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
