The news said we might set cold records yesterday and today.
Start of summer and we got rain here, could not even reach 60 degrees with snow falling in the mountains.
Great, eh?
Well maybe better than 100 or 105 degrees.
Next week might hold some sun. Forecasts change so quickly.
I can't believe we bombed another country. Happened while I napped, had no idea.
Its unconstitutional but our current Holy Leader has no qualms about violating that ancient document. Meanwhile in Texas they are requiring the Ten Commandments be posted in schools. Must be a don't do what I do, do what I tell you to do sort of thing, if you think about it. Also...its unconstitutional but again, nobody cares about that old piece of paper anymore here.
Strawberry season is almost done in the valley. We're spoiled really. Once you taste Oregon berries, there's no way you can eat ones that come from elsewhere. The California strawberries are so gross by comparison, without flavor.
I had strawberry shortcake tonight. I also make "freezies" of strawberries I cut up and put in the blender with yogurt and whatever other fruit I have. I keep them in the freezer in extra car cups I've accumulated, and get one out when its hot. I do not like blueberries as well as strawberries. I have raspberries growing in my yard and pick them as they are ripe now. They're too expensive at the farm stands. And mine aren't chemical sprayed. The blackberries won't be ripe for awhile. They've only begun blooming.
My final cat appointments are the end of next week. I have no idea if the people catching cats will be successful. The Brownsville folks have ten spots FCCO but 14 or so cats. I left them a drop trap and my two larger live traps and they were supposed to pick off the adults sooner and I'd get them in somewhere but they haven't caught even one. Or even tried. I'm frustrated but its their issue not mine, I have to keep telling myself.
After 20 more spots end of next week, then on the Monday after, I'm done for the summer. It's a huge relief to me.
I found that my rear bumper on the car was falling off on one side too, and spent a day rigging a repair for it. It may or may not have caused the ticking sound. I haven't driven it much since fixing it. Only to go get the strawberries. When I got to the strawberry farm, right when it opened, there was already a line up of people. Whew, I got some before they ran out.

The repair, at least for now. Hope it holds. |
The bombing horrifies me. It is always the innocents who get the brunt of the damage.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your strawberries. To the maxi.
I love the strawberries. Usually I get some about four times, but they had a lower yield this year, they told me. At first at least. I don't know how those ordering bombs dropped or dropping them dehumanize the people and kids they are killing and maiming.
DeleteMy first world problems are zilch compared to what some are suffering.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed a savage world. How all this killing is justifiable in the minds on both sides, I just don't know. It will never stop I don't think. Back and forth, back and forth. Bloody savages is all humans are.
DeleteWe live in very scary times.
ReplyDeleteCollective craziness.
DeleteOh, best wishes to you and us all, my dear.
ReplyDeleteAnd to you.
DeleteReligion need to stay out of government business. I looked for couple of cooler days.
ReplyDeleteIf only, on religion and politics remaining seperate, as was the desire of the founding fathers, but again, ha, that's long gone.
DeleteIf the Brownsville folks can't do it, that's their problem, isn't it? And they're the ones who'll have to deal with a worst problem.
ReplyDeleteI thought I read a court declared the ten commandments in a classroom unconstitutional. Not in Texas, though. Tennessee, I thought. But I would think it applies.
I would hope it applies. Its the right court decision. Yes, its their problem. But once I see the cats, its difficult for me to give up on their well being and getting them fixed will highly improve their future outlook.
