Hello everyone. It's getting hot out there so I am inside for a cool off, drinking some homemade grape and apple juice with ice. Ummm.

Bluespiral, being rich in the important things is good. Far too many people have not learned about that. Classical piano, oh, I love it. I wish I had learned to play as a kid. At about 40 I tried to learn but I think the contrast between what I was able to play and what I wanted to play was like the Grand Canyon!

Raccoons are cute little guys and they make such funny noises. I got to pet a baby raccoon a few weeks ago that somebody had rescued. It was rolling around making this funny clicking sound and then when the lady picked it up it purred like a cat. They are very interesting critters.

Somebody said something about it being a good thing to have skills to supplement income, yes, that is part of why I grow a big vegie garden. That and knowing what is not in my food. We eat far too many chemicals so my garden is organic. I also have the skills to raise other livestock, milk a cow or goat, butcher chickens, etc, and could go back to doing all that if I need to to it. We used to have a pretty self sufficient farm.

Got to go change the water in the garden. I'll post a couple of pictures so you can see where I spend a lot of time.
