Speaking of the weather and gardening, I bought my tomato plants yesterday. Last year, I tried raising tomatoes from seeds I’d saved the year before that, and it was a disaster. This year, I have returned to the old ways: I went to the feed-and-seed store and bought the biggest honkin’ Better Boys they had! I might have tomatoes by the first of next week, if the weather holds.

I drink tequila, usually in artificially sweetened Margarita mix. But I will do the occasional Prarie Fire or Tequila Sunrise.
Sideburns, it’s the stone angels that need concern you. And remember, “The image of an Angel is an Angel.”
If you get a chance, watch this PBS program about the music that came out of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, especially in the 60s. You won’t be disappointed and you might be amazed.

Great program Ruth Anne. I went to college (majoring in music) with several people from northern Alabama. One of them moved back to the area (Sheffield) and made a career playing and recording with a lot of the groups in Muscle Shoals.
No, David, it’s not the stone angels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weeping_Angel
Good morning Villagers///
Yes you are right Rusty…it has been warm lately, and my brother-in-law left a couple of weeks ago…..amen.
So, it’s Earth Day AND Ford’s Mustang’s 50th birthday….so much excitement in one day I don’t know how to contain myself 🙂 Think I’ll celebrate with a beer tonight and recycle the can!
Ya’ll have a blessed day….
GR 😉
Call me, not Ishmael, but Caulfield.
Today is NOT a pagan holiday at our house. It’s our wedding anniversary. Mentioning the E-day gets me in hot water with my lovely wife, who normally recycles and combines trips and composts. That hot water is worse than any global warming!
Go figure.
Be warned, you are about to get an email blitz from angry Nebraskans!
: ) the Weeping Angels are stone like….
I always pictured Gene on the East coast. Unless they are on the gulf coast, they would usually see ocean sunrises, correct? It’s early, I might not be thinking straight.
Steve, as I mentioned on the Dark Side, I always assumed the West coast. That is always how I pictured it. Maybe north of Cedar Key… or around Apalachicola. Beautiful beaches up that way, and not too crowded. West of Panama City is the Redneck Rivera.
Sorry… I think it is EAST of Panama City. Anyway… that area!
I tend to think of the whole FL Panhandle as the “redneck riviera”. Dirt Band even did a song by that title. I’m from/sail on the TX Gulf Coast, so only ocean sunRISES for me…sadly! Not being a “morning person”, don’t catch too many of those! 🙂
One of the great thing about being a “morning person” is I get to see both sunrises and sunsets. 😀
