A short poem today, for a short post. This is from 1996, 20 years ago this month. Someone asked me about this strip in an email the other day, wanting help finding it. At the time, I wasn’t sure where to look, and it was just as well. I would have sworn I drew it no more than 10 years ago. Yeek.

Had a decent day healthwise, beginning to feel better. Fed my workmen homemade soup, then went off on errands. Made it home seven hours later with five flats of perennial herbs, 25# of chicken feed, entire passenger area full of daffodils and tulips, hyacinth bulbs on clearance from Lowe’s, plus ordered the last flat of pave stones for patio just off porch and Hardie board to repair storm damage to porch.
Came home a t dark and braved snakes to go pick zinnias. Interestingly all the plants I planted personally are still blooming after six months or so but only others thriving were done by my Carter team, dad, brother, wife, daughter. The three sets of minions were a total bust. We think they threw bulbs away. And killed roses and shrubs, because ones we did lived even though on clearance.
Gardeners are ever hopeful. We believe in miracles, pray a lot and never get off our knees or butts.
And brave snakes to weed and pick flowers.
Bought myself food porn to take to bed. Southern Living Special Anniversary Edition, 50 Years.Best Southern Recipes.
Cover is pimento mac and cheese. I am lost, opened first article on breakfast brunch and there is pain perdu, lost bread, the very recipe I used for a food cooking demo. And crabmeat brunch scramble, my favorite crab on English muffins. And the original quiche Lorraine from 1972!
Almost all the recipes still begin with melt a stick of butter. Especially the historic ones. Southern Living, you wrote my life or at least taught me to cook.

Except this is early and Pandora played a later cover by the Mavericks whom I really like from Austin City Limits. And my brain kicked in to the earlier version. I know better than put two links in a post.
And more All That Heaven Will Allow with the Mavericks version. https://youtu.be/YfzcKpknSY4
Anyone besides me like either one?
Debbe 😉 Self-explanatory.

Today was National Kick Butt Day. I was going to celebrate it by finding someone that really needed one, which would have been easy to do, but then I found out it should be called “National Kick Yourself in the Butt Day” (i.e., get started on something you need to accomplish), which kind of tempered my enthusiasm.
Hey, they’re playing my song. Not that one, Canon in D for lutes and violins? Burned myself out on Tejano and accordions. Even Flacco Jimenez can be too much. So good night all.

Good morning Villagers….
GM back at you Old Bear 🙂
Just another day at the chicken house….same old chicken poop.
TR, sorry, I didn’t mean to step on anyone’s toes, read the article….thanks.
This stupid curser wants to play hide and seek with me, it also could be my fat fingers 🙂
Got my scripts refilled. Whoever stole them will be in for a surprise when they see one of the scripts is for my thyroid 🙂
A blessed Tuesday to all.

For anyone who wants to start a National Day, October 11 could probably use another couple of them. All that is listed now is National Sausage Pizza Day, National Coming Out Day (and I assume that’s not coming out to get a sausage pizza), and General Pulaski Memorial Day.
I’ll bet Li’l Smigz knows who General Pulaski was.
Speaking of Pulaski – http://www.islandpacket.com/news/weather/hurricane/article107205027.html
I do know a bit about Pulaski, Ghost, especially on this side of the Atlantic. In my mind, the Father of the American Cavalry will always be linked with one of my Grandpas who served in the U.S. cavalry in WWI. Thanks for the link to the fort, Ruth Anne! I’d like to visit it someday; the old forts up here in Michigan and Ontario are fascinating.
Mindy from Indy, I hope the job search is progressing and the cat tails are friskie.
Prayers for those impacted by Matthew…my family members in NC made it through with not much damage.
Counted ten towns named Pulaski on Weather Channel. I may have been in all of them but Pulaski, Mississippi and Tennessee are the ones I have visited the most. There are counties named for him, as well as many regional parks and memorials. He was as revered as Lafayette once. It occurs to me few know about Lafayette either.
I worked as a botanical classification aide to one of Polands last calvary nobles whose horse was shot from beneath him in the opening charge by tanks. He read and spoke thirteen languages but English wasn’t his best. He came to Lafayette, LA from a POW camp and never left. He had nothing to return to. He had little in Louisiana but I will never forget the Polish calvary.
Best view i have ever seen !
Very nice article, exactly what I wanted to find.
Hi there, just wanted to say, I liked this post. It was
inspiring. Keep on posting!
Yes! Finally someone writes about a.
Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem along with your site in web explorer,
could test this? IE still is the marketplace leader and
a good element of other people will miss your wonderful writing because of this
problem.
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or
two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
I for all time emailed this weblog post page to all my associates, because if like to read it then my
friends will too.
It’s amazing in favor of me to have a web site,
which is helpful in support of my know-how. thanks admin asmr https://app.gumroad.com/asmr2021/p/best-asmr-online asmr
