Roy Makes The Scene

Roy the Boy was a little late to our earlier garden party - he had important napping duties to attend to at the time. But here he is inspecting the iris bed. He and Lily do "vole patrol" duty as their contribution to the family gardening effort.

Springtime In The Garden

Some pics of our side yard and our backyard vegetable garden.













These are actually in our next door neighbor's backyard, right next to the fence. We have violets scattered throughout our yard, but nothing as dense as this big patch. Beautiful.





Our little Lily bug by the iris bed in the back yard. She wasn't particularly pleased with having to sit and pose.






The crops, planted/planned: Two kinds of tomatoes, onions, bush and pole beans, brussels sprouts, bell peppers, jalepeno peppers, carrots, and two rows to be determined later.




This is a brussels sprout plant my husband planted last fall. It has flowered and is going to seed.





The strawberry pyramid - the daughter plants have jumped to the ground around the base and are marching off into the yard.

Hiding In Plain Sight

My God!!! It was right in front of our faces the whole time!

The Devil Defends His Reputation

The Devil explains that, contrary to the claims of the Vatican, he has nothing whatsoever to do with the Catholic Church's child molestation scandal.

Big John

Every time I hear about a coal mining accident I think of this. I guess it shows my age - and how long lethal accidents have been an accepted risk of mining by the workers - the risk that management never takes. Union mines have a much better safety record than non-union mines. That is a fact. So think about that and what it means as far as the human cost of "doing business" the next time you feel the urge to bash unions.

Do As I Say, Not As I Do.

This is what happens when you show up at a tea party with a "no medicare" pledge.
