Surely we have some here! Who’s seen one? Got your feeders up?

NOT A ONE! I can’t help but suspect all of them and even if they are not phishing emails, they are playing on the fears of millions about this virus. Rant over.

Since I basically worked from home anyway now, my time has not really changed much. Deb used to do all the shopping so her day has changed a little but she too works from home with her ebay business so extra time during this virus has not really materialized...

I have no idea what was running through her head at the time but I could tell from her "huh?" that she was not thinking MORELS. Morels being a mushroom that is loved by many, but honestly, I do not recall ever having them. I have noticed several posts on FB groups that they are finding them in TN right now and I seemed to have ideal conditions for finding some so,..... ...

Why am I not talking about the virus? Because I need a break and you may too! Watercress that I threw out to allow better water flow in the stream feeding the goldfish pond has taken root and is flourishing. I may need to rethink the "dry" garden for which I started seeds!...

Many of you are probably shouting at your screens right now. Don't scare your significant other, family or neighbors if they are close enough to hear you, but I bet they heard my answer across the valley. NO! They are not getting the job done and YES they are showing their true colors, POLITICS!...

I received an email from a pet food producer that referred to a great letter put out by the PetFinder foundation. You can read the entire post (including nice pictures) here but there were a lot of links and T-G does not like me cutting/pasting complete articles so I have trimmed it down and removed links from some of the quotations. Feel Free to read the full post and you will have access to the groups mentioned...

I am in that "sensitive" age bracket that needs to pay extra care. Besides being over 21 I have also had 8 heart attacks and some cancer, but ya know what? It is what it is and we keep on plugging. My main concern is the economy. I have about 100+- mouths to feed, twice a day and we cannot miss too many paychecks before tough decisions have to be made. The more the economy slows down or panics, the less I can generate income so there is MY main concern. What are yours?...

Some of you folks might not get a chance to see Terrence's photo in the T-G . It just reached out and grabbed me, so I had to post it. I see deer walk through my yard almost daily but I have yet to have captured a picture like this with the deer almost posing and the light green of Spring popping out around them...

How is this for a change of pace? Onions have suddenly come back in the news for its antibacterial benefits. I am sure garlic will too but my question is if any one has experienced some of the things being said. What's being said? Onions attract bacteria and have been used to help "clean" a room of infectious bacteria by slicing and setting out in the room. Supposedly they will turn black overnight from this...

There are a number of her constituents that question her attention to the District in Queens and whether or not she really reflects their views. All three contenders (one Democrat and two Republicans) and some polls lend credence to the possibility. Here is a NY Post article...

Not what you were expecting? Considering that I emptied my seed bin two years ago and last year donated just about everything to the seed bank at the Library, you would expect my order to be MUCH BIGGER than 5 Seed packs, right? The catch is, I keep going to seed swaps and friends keep giving me seed as they scale back their own gardens. For a person who keeps saying I wanted to scale back as well, what gives?...

Luckily this California legislator is not demanding the vote go a certain way. but it makes you wonder if they are frustrated with their base. Would this not be something that could backfire when voters are forced to vote? Would the backlash not go to the party that made them do this?...

Since this is a screenshot from a website, I left all identifying information on it Here is a link to that website Any thoughts?...

Looking at solar panels just brings Star Trek to mind for me and according to a recent study renewable energy is getting close to passing fossil fuels in the generation of power. Now we have to make sure the sun keeps pumping. :-)...

Barring a great surprise, and I mean a real one, not the BOMBSHELL revelations that fizzled upon closer examination, this latest “impeachment” effort will be over Wednesday. What do you think the next “bombshell” will be? How long before the Democratic rank and file finally get fed up with where their leadership is taking them?...

Was he not awake during 2016 when Hillary’s campaign took over the DNC and derailed Bernie? Check this out about the DNC Or this. I guess it was better he said it than Hillary. Come on folks who is calling the kettle......

I thought about this a while back because I felt my cats and dogs were ungrateful to treat me suspiciously but once I talk they started to relax. I finally deduced (I like that word) that what confuses them the most is that we change our appearance often by the clothes we wear. They certainly don't run into an animal that changes the way we do so ...... they hold back until we do something that says "It's me!"...

There is an article in the T-G written by Dawn Hankins about rental conditions being protested I can still remember when I first moved into Bedford County back in the 70's and my first "furnished" rental lasted one night. Actually, not even one night because I chose not to lay my head down, nor stay in the unit more than about 30 minutes while I walked through it and decided NOTHING could help me stay. ...
