HOLY COW, BATMAN! I’ve got one blossom on each of two bush bean plants! What lovely pink blossoms. I have six of these plants, wonder if I will ever see a bean?

That's a good sign. You might well see a bean or two. It's a long time until the first freeze date in your area. Middle of November should be your first frost date.

This isn't about plants but it is a major screw-up on my part.

Until over a week ago, I had a Kindle with bunches of books on there and one I was reading is, “Atlas Shrugged”, and there are a number I haven't read. When I got a solar panel and charger I made sure it was powerful enough to recharge my Kindle so I would always have books to read. That is the reason there are books I haven't read - I cannot do well without books.

I LOST THE KINDLE. I searched for a week knowing where I am when I read so I examined all those places first - then, I went to every spot where I might have set it down - nothing. I think it was on a table next to my chair and there is a trashcan that butts up to the back of that table. I think it fell in the trash and is lost forever.

This minute, there is no book in this house I haven't read. What a dumb thing to do to lose my Kindle. I would never have thought this could happen. What if the SHTF, and I lost it then? That would be a major horror story.

Three days ago, I ordered a new one. Of course, this one is better as the other was one of their first models. After charging, this new one will stay charged for two months if one reads 30 min. a day, plus it has a light inside so I can read in the dark and that's a good thing if the SHTF. All the books I had can be downloaded onto the new one from my account at Amazon, thank God.

This was a huge wake up call for me. DON'T LOSE YOUR IMPORTANT STUFF. The new one will have a certain place to be and it won't be close to that trashcan. After I read, it goes back in that certain place.

Have you ever lost something of great importance to you and you never found it? Awful feeling.
