I allowed this sunrise to be a bit bigger today because the colors are so vivid.

Good morning! There are seventeen months left until we retake the country, until November 2012. As far as I know Caligula is the only one who has declared for the RATS. The GOP field is shaping up with many contenders. Sarah Palin is on a JERK THE MEDIA AROUND bus tour in the Northeast and elsewhere to call attention to America's founding documents and our founding fathers and principles. She has promised her radio talk friends in Alaska that she would tell them first of her decision to run. That hasn't happened yet.
And in the hypocriscy department, Caligula's administration spends more money on limos than it does on Food Stamps. Everyone is equal, except some are more equal than others.

A survivalist food website I know of talks about having 100 lb sacks of wheat and grinding flour. Whoa...
And I can't figure out how one could be self-sustaining on salt or coffee etc.
Glad you're finally enjoying Miss Piggy.
I'm off to catch up on the thread, we are at a stopping point for a couple of days.
Yes, you do, Dolly!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, till!!! Have a great day.
Toby, I've been missing you! I hope everything's okay.
I’ve been watching the local NBC affiliate. They’re doing a birthdayte club much like radio stations have done in an attempt to boost their ratings. My goodness, tv must be struggling to resort to that.
I hope the cable gets repaired soon.
So funny. The chickens will enjoy your work.
Thank you, Dolly.
Thank you, LB and Jem. Yes, it is that day...again, thank goodness.
Yesterday it was 106 degrees, but don’t know the heat index, it’s already HOT and I MUST get out there and water my gardens. The okra love this weather, the squash and cucumbers are wilting and the tomatoes are growing in size. I wonder what the dog days of August will be like.
I could almost copy your entire post and have it for mine. The plants aren’t exactly the same, but this is August weather in June. I started watering at 0730 and will break off about 11. Then, I’ll resume about 1600. I shut off watering around 2100. Tomorrow I’ll do the same. I’ve heard the theories about the best time to water. I have to water almost throughtout it seems.
We’re big into wedding planning these days. The youngest is like me, plan early and make lists!
Just came in from watering. It will be 95* here today.......Definitely August weather here, too.
It’s hot here - about 96. They are trying to make us feel better about the heat though - it will only be 77 during the night. Doesn’t that make you feel better?
By the way, in case you didn’t hear about it, we have wild coyotes in Decatur. A number of dogs in one neighborhood have been killed and it is definitely a coyote kill. They aren’t sure how many coyotes but are telling everyone to keep their dogs close to home.
I knew we had coyotes - or at least one because I saw him/her - but I had no idea there were lots of them. Duh!
Wow! I feel great now. 77 at night. Time to break out the winter gear.
It doesn’t surprise me about the coyotes. I bet they live in the culverts and creeks near the railroad. Does that sound plausible?
I’m a bit like y’all. I plan early and Roomey makes lists. I work the early stuff around whatever happens before the event, and Roomey has his list. He waits till so close to an event, I’m almost prostrate wondering if he’ll make it. But he’s a logistics person and then “we” get the end part done.
Coyotes live well in suburbia. We live on the edge of town, our driveway begins where town ends. (We live in the country) Many times when we’re sitting on the patio at dusk we can hear the puppies yipping. It’s not at all surprising to see coyotes run across the golf course early in the a.m. or even very late afternoon. They love cats.
One year I was smoking 17 briskets for the church, I smoke them at 200 degrees for about 20 hours. When I went out to check the fire in the pit, I saw about 4 pair of eyes, on the far side of the 3rd green, watching. They could smell the meat cooking. As far as I know they never came onto the patio. When Beanie lived with us, we never saw a coyote near the 3rd green, they always stayed quite a ways from the house. Coyotes can cause a lot of havoc in families of lost pets.
Actually they live in the woods up the street from us, as do plenty of rabbits, chipmunks, mice and even a deer or two. Fortunately they will be building behind us shortly, and the woods will be further away - which is good.
Most of the places that have had pets taken/killed by the coyotes have more woods than we do, however, I know that there is at least one living in our area - saw him/her with my own two eyes. Off and on we also hear them. Eerie.
