Taz is a very special lady! :)

No doubt about that!

[HiJinx]

Hi, Teenie!
What’s this I hear about rain? Wanna send us some?

Actually, we’re on the verge of entering our rainy season. It swirls around us, coming in from New Mexico, Baja California, and your neck of the woods. In our area, it most often comes from the Baja.

[PROCON]

Taz is a very special lady! :)

WHAT?

[AZamericonnie]

Hiya Jinxie, your probably correct....not looking forward to the monsoon!

[oldteen]

OOPS...Sorry, I didn’t see that one. Good for you! Have a great day together!!

[TASMANIANRED]

I need to pick some chard..It’s getting too big for salad so I might have to saute it.

Been picking squash, both patty pan and yellow .

[BIGLOOK]

Yeah ......but you get to keep the woodchuck. Got any recipes?

[TASMANIANRED]

Does it cool down any during the monsoon?

[oldteen]

I appreciate all the advice.....really. But woodchucks are smarter than most, especially democrats, and the only person I knew who would eat one was my Great Uncle John.

Told me they had to be parboiled first.
