- Irish Woman came back from the farmer’s market with a bottle each of blackberry and elderberry wine, a couple of fresh peaches, sweet corn, and a seedless watermelon.
- I must say that blackberry wine is an excellent way to end the day.
- Apparently some of my neighbors don’t understand that when someone else owns a piece of land, they can either do what they want in a way that fits in with the rest of the community, or they can say screw it and just put in whatever strikes their fancy, and complaining vociferously about what they want to tastefully do is counterproductive.
- It’s never a good sign when walking on a bare floor feels like you’re walking on Lego’s, and no amount of NSAID stops that.
- Dinner tonight was pork ribs marinated in either tequila or bourbon, corn and green beans cooked with bacon and onions, and fresh corn on the cob.
- It’s nice to make a good summer dinner every so often.
- Girlie Bear asked me if she could read “1984” today. I couldn’t find my copy, so I gave her “Brave New World” instead.
- Now, that’s going to be an interesting literary conversation.
- I’m so proud of Boo. He liked a Marx Brothers movie as much as I did.
- I haven’t heard that many belly laughs from him in a long time.
- Irish Woman spent almost 7 hours working in the yard this afternoon and evening.
- I can express my entire opinion on cutting grass and weeding – xeriscaping.
- A few gallons of weed killer, a few hundred yards of black tarp, and a few tons of pea gravel, and I only have to do yard work a couple of times a year.
- Apparently Kentuckians would rather sweat in the dirt, heat, and humidity.

Not this Kentuckian. I hate the heat & humidity. (I know. I’m living in the wrong region, but this is where my extended family is.) I also hate mowing and yard work. My idea of the perfect lawn is either woods – you don’t have to mow woods – or green painted concrete.

I have it on good authority that elderberry wine is an excellent way to end all your days! :-O
