Since there's no other place around the place, I reckon this must be the place I reckon...

Do you have written permission to show that movie of me on the floor? 🤣
 
On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of
your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will
give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years
and I'll give you back the other ten?"
And God saw it was good.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do
tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life
span."
The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time
to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"
And God, again saw it was good.

On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field
with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give
milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span
of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty
years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"
And God agreed it was good.

On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry
and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my
twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the
ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"

"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy
ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our
family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain thegrandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and
bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you. There is no need to thank me for this
valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service.


If you are looking for me, I will be on the front porch.
 
Good Tuesday Morning

A typical June weather day is in store. We have 71° and Winds are from the East at 5 mph, We have a 60% chance of rain this afternoon as temperatures rise to 85° and winds pick up a little. I see all of these 100° temperatures nationwide and realize I have never experienced 100° in Florida. I suppose the water keeps the temperature down.

Prayers to Cord and a safe flight for his friend. I read Jeremiah 28, I see California has banned all state funded travel to Florida. which I see as a good thing. The less Californians around here the better. The reason given is California does not like the way LQGTBUSA#1 is handled around here. So they banned us.

I trust all have a nice day. The magnolias are plentiful this year.

SC, I also read 29, failed to post it to

A fast moving lightning storm drove me out of the pool so I came to my office and read 29. I am on track for tomorrow.

93 degrees. It is hot.
We are currently at 72° and it appears our high today will be 81° that we had at noon. At present we have a very cool thunderstorm going through the yard with strong winds and a cool, very cool breeze. It is pleasant and refreshing.

I love my rain because in an hour at most it will be gone and the skies will clear. We should have another brilliant sunset tonight. Most of the sky remained blue while the black clouds passed through producing the rain showers.
 
2000 years old Pantheon dome in Rome is most remarkable structure I've seen. Unbelievable they could create such a large dome that long ago & it's still perfect and gorgeous inside.

Others that top my list are the Coliseum (Thought I was in Cincy's old Riverfront Stadium.); Pont de Gard bridge/aqueduct in France, cave paintings around Lascaux (The painters used irregularities in the cave walls to create 3D images of some animals. Unbelievable for 10K years ago.), the Roman hot baths at Bath, England (FIL's army unit sleep around the sides of them waiting for Normandy Invasion.).
The Octagon Lantern Tower in Ely Cathedral is the most amazing structure I have ever seen........it is huge and just to see it hanging up there...........and to think the first version was made completely out of stone makes it even more improbable.......I put some of the mineral water from the Roman bath on my shoulder.......didn't do anything but get me the stink eye from a worker.......
 
There was a discussion about bug protection for the garden.......I wanted to share this with the other gardeners......I planted some Seychelles pole beans on 5-18......I could go back and pick three or four handfuls off of two 18' rows of beans.........six weeks isn't bad......last year I planted some Blue Lake pole beans and it was 93 days before they started blooming......they put on lots of beans.....but this new variety is the quickest I have ever seen to produce......and they don't have a whole lot of vine......almost like a corn field bean......I also started some California Giant bell peppers from seed the last of March.......I picked a bell pepper yesterday that was almost 8" long.......those rabbits are for something besides eating.......
 
One of my favorite things in fried crooked neck yellow squash. Cut them up and fry them with onions and butter. Nothing better in the summertime with a big ole ear of Silver Queen corn. Oh don't forget the green peas to add some color.
hold those peas and slice up some fresh tomato and cuccumber......and cut that corn off the cob and fry it in a black iron skillet.......maybe fry up some of those fresh new taters that are just starting to come in........I eat like this two or three times a week when the squash is plentiful and garden is producing.......also.....DON'T for get a pan of baked corn bread.......
 
I had some yesterday. You left out the butter, just a touch of butter.
Sorry Bert yes I did!!!!! I also put a splash of smoke!!!! Bert I was told by my family doctor that this is one of the best dishes to eat that lowers your triglycerides, this and a baked potato eating the skin! I know it does, because my triglycerides one time was over 1,000, doc nearly had a stroke for me, he was fussing at me so much!!!! The next checkup it was under 400, now it stays in check!!!!

I looked outside and the black clouds are gone and the skies are clear. Our little afternoon shower cooled things off and moved on. It is going to be a bright sun shinny day, so says the Georgia girl, Miss Brenda


Brenda Lee was one of my all-time favorites. I carried a picture of her in my wallet when I was a teenager. But, alas, I never got the chance to meet her and sell myself to her. Give a listen to this song she cut in 1973 on a really great album she cut but I doubt that many ever heard.

I am also a huge Brenda Lee fan. Thanks for that link, love the song.

I had an opportunity to meet her and talk awhile with her. I played in the UK Marching Band and we performed at the Vanderbilt game in Nashville. She was singing in a club in Printers Alley. After the game a couple of us went down there and walked the streets. We saw her name on a marquee so we stopped in to listen. When she took a break she came down to the table and we had a good time talking to her and music. She was a tiny thing.

It puts me in the mood for "Johnny One Time"

 
Another great recipe, Squash and onions, this is long so bear with me!!!

Cut up squash, about 6 medium
Cut up onion, 1 large
Put it in a pot add small amount of water and cook till tender!!!!

My wife makes something similar except she adds a couple cloves of garlic and sometimes slices and dices up some steak type meat into it too. If you make enough for one or two servings you can also get it boiling and add a raw egg. Good stuff.... As Uncle Jed used to say.... Edible...

Your way is delicious too!!!

We topped out at 84°F. Currently raining. Nice.

Hope no or little rain during my visit in SE KY and Claiborne Co., TN next week.

Be safe brother, I plan on heading to Michigan the 10th of July or so to be at my brothers 70th birthday. The last time I was in Michigan was when my Darling and I came back from Korea in 2015. Landed at Metro Airport. My brother, his wife (My sister), and their son and his wife came to visit us for a couple minutes.

My Brother and his wife came to visit us in South Carolina for a few days but that's been back in 2016. We talk about weekly but it has been a long separation. I am thankful! (I have an unspoken prayer request that I hope can happen before we make our trip. If it comes to fruition, I will post it here.) God Bless you all...

Enjoy. Safe travels.
 
A cloudy, wet, stormy morning in the Buckeye State. I see another batch of storms coming in as well. It's a muggy low 70s now with the high projected to only get to the low 80s. As Austin says....I'll take it. Last few days with the heat has been brutal. Heat index up to about 100. Still got some outside work done....started really early and would knock off about noon.
We need the rain. The good thing with the heat and lack of rain....the grass growing has slowed down, which means less work (mowing) for me.

Y'all have a good day.
 
Good morning D, read Jeremiah 30, with coffee and a good Gala apple with peanut butter!!! Just kidding, coffee was good!!!

Not a very good weather forecaster. We were on the deck watching the clouds build up, so I came in to see where the plane was and look at the radar to see if we were going to get some rain. I go back out and tell Mrs. M it looks like it going around us! Then we proceed to get .7" of rain in about 45 minutes, then she says, boy you got that wrong!!!!! Temps went from 102 down to 71 this morning!!!

Well D, I joined an elite club today, I turned 70 today!!!! Another great American is 70 today, Tubby!!

Thanks again for your Prayers for the safety of the plane bringing her home and Prayers for the D!!!!

Happy Birthday cord. You seem like a good, good man.
 
Good morning D-League. Happy birthday Cord.

And happy birthday to Tubby.

I hope the D-League won't mind a short recollection about Tubby. I never got to spend that much time around the Kentucky basketball teams, but I did manage to use a White House pass I had back in the day to attend all three ceremonies when the Cats won championships in 96, 98 and 12 and came to meet the president. Usually, the coach and players hustle away after brief remarks by the president and the coach, and the gift of a team jersey and so forth. But in 1998, Tubby and the players lingered to see some of the White House, and I got a chance to chat with him. He really impressed me. Just a terrific guy. I told him my father was a big fan and he asked me what my dad did. I remember Tubby had brought his mother and father up to be with him at the ceremony. What a proud day that must have been for them. I'm glad the man had that moment.
 
Good morning D League

We are expecting a little rain this afternoon, 80% chance. We had a good one last night as we went to bed. Our temperature at this moment is 72° with Winds East at 6 mph. Our high will hit 83° as the rains roll in this afternoon. Winds are expected to pick up which keeps things nice and cool.

They are giving a local economic report on the radio and most of the counties in the area did better during the pandemic than normal. I guess a lot of Northerners came down because their states were locked down. The increase was done without visitors from Europe since they couldn't travel either.

Send a boy from Perry to clear your land and you get this. Photo below.

I read Jeremiah 30 with my coffee and I wish all a great day.
