Katie, Honey, I am so sorry you are hurting. I can appreciate how you feel, since that stupid leg trick I pulled, I am not the same and it is taking longer than i had anticipated. I am not a good patient. I may even start to drink gin again if this keeps up. LOL

I have a cat that I call "Fat Cat" . He is so old and fat I have no idea how old, he will not permit me to groom him, he is a feral and will rub against my legs but will not let me groom him. He is getting matted and I hate looking at him. I guess I will have to bite the bullet and just grab him and do some grooming. I would rather deal with a horse than a cat, their scratches get so sore, especially the feral ones from being outside all the time. I really do not like cats. But I feed them every day.

My latest adoption is what we call a groundhog...........you may call them hedgehogs. It has made its home under the feed barn, which now has no feed in it because rats ate holes in the floor over the winter and got into the feed. This vacant farm next door is making me crazy. The stray animals that live there are coming over the fence and I do not want to start killing them, so I just pretend I am having fun. I should buy the place but there is more than half of the 6.3 acres that had the top soil removed. I can't afford to replace 4 or more acres of top soil before I start to farm. That is expensive. The weeds are higher than the fence and the township is ignoring my bitching. I guess I need to make a trip to the town hall and show them what bitching really is. There is an ordinance against weeds but the stupid Zoning Officer no doubt does not know that. Of course, the Zoning Officer is also the Chief of Police. Go figure.

I am trying to identify this plant. It was used as a centerpiece at a winery for the tables at a wedding receiption. It looks like a succulent or cactus. Can any of you tell me if you recognize it? I have already posted it on the succ. and cac. forum.

Cory, if you get homesick for Jersey, there is a radio station I am sure you know about, NJ 101.5 RADIO, that has a website where you can see and hear the programs etc. Our new governor is a real hardass and he is just great. He takes nothing for anyone and he also is on a one hour talk show Tues. 6/28 at 7 P.M. on their website you can hear him. What you see is what you get and he is tough as nails. Raised in NJ and was a Federal Attorney for years. He is beating the heck out of the Unions (NJEA) especially the school money. He is cleaning up NJ big time. You may enjoy hearing him. Guaranteed to make yo home sick.

Very nice pictures Ruby. Looks like a lovely place to retire.
The Kitty is adorable, what a look he has on the face.

Must go be creative and do a few floral arrangements. Later. JB



We are spraying frontline today to keep the weeds down especially in the baby tree field. It takes so long to cut the grass between those trees. I have not been cutting for two weeks because of my knee. I enjoy doing it but chiropractor has grounded me. No tractor for another week. LOL
