July 31st

 

Mornin'
This little guy reminded me that,
even at my advanced age,
I have unanswered questions.
Like...
Why didn't that guy give that poor horse a
name after riding through the desert?
Why didn't that other guy just consult his 
watch instead of asking "does anyone
really know what time it is?'
Or how about the woman asking if
we know the way to San Jose?
Get a map!
Stevie Wonder asked "isn't she lovely?', but
he's blind, so we get that one.
No, I don't know who wrote the book of love
or who let the dogs out!
I'm not lonesome tonight either.
I don't even know what it's all about, Alfie.
The Beatles asked if I want to know 
a secret, sure and I promise not to tell.
I also don't believe in magic or know
how much that doggie in the window costs.
There may be someone who is actually
afraid of Virginia Woolf and knows the
actual location of Waldo or the perpetrator
who framed Roger Rabbit.
Then again as these questions remain 
unanswered, we may never know
whatever happened to Baby Jane either.


Answers! 
We need answers!

Minew says, Hi!



Harvests this month...
Sweet peppers, cucumbers,
and eggplants.



Cucumbers



Dried herbs,
basil, oregano, thyme, sage,
Thai basil, and rosemary.


More peppers.
I dehydrated some to turn into powder.
It's great on salads and sprinkled on meat.


Basil


Oregano


Coreopsis


Mother of Thousands,
with her babies.


Gardenia

We've noticed a plethora of 
Dragonflies of different colors.
Did you know that,
temperature and food quantity
determines some colors in dragonflies?
Also, the older the insect, the deeper the color.
Younger ones are much paler.
Notice the 2nd picture is a pale blue,
where the 1st is a vibrant red.
The red dragonflies are always mature males.
They can live up to 6 months.

Confounding Things:
Since we're on the unanswered questions,
Why is it, when you walk barefoot,
it seems like you always walk into
 a door or a coffee table leg?
Are they sneaking up on us  
just to mess with our exposed pinky toes? 
Is it a conspiratory theory?

The pain takes a couple seconds
to travel from the toe to the brain.
This allows you to immediately think
that, "Oh, that wasn't so bad' which then 
turns into an excruciating pain
that has you with an out of body experience!
OUCH!

My grandson took this
