*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* So I recently learned what “CME” means….. …..Coronal Mass Ejection….. *****(National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration Explanation)***** This last weekend there was “one-of-those” or several of those that hurtled towards and hit the earth…on our side of the planet….. It kind of brings you out of your navel-staring moments and makes you look at the broader spectrum of things….. …..like the Universe and stuff….. It puts things in perspective…I guess?  Like…the galaxy’s a pretty…

I love the little bastards…(they scare me so)…(I feel like I owe it to Mother Nature to keep trying)….. Down here in sunny sub-tropical Florida…starting up new bee hives is usually done after the commercial citrus bloom is completed….. …..when the beekeepers have more time to evaluate their hives…make new ones…and follow the blooming spring…as it follows the sun’s seasonal warming northward….. If you think…

My older daughter just gave me this news breaking gossip…after coming home from our store….. She noticed we had a full-time security guard…and…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Well…I got a lapel pin in the mail….. I didn’t ask for it….. It was a bit startling and a surprise….. …..just when did THAT happen(?)….. …..Fifty frigging years(!?!)….. You gotta warn someone…before they unsuspectingly go to their mailbox and open up an unassuming envelope(!)….. I guess it’s been that long…I suppose it would be easy enough to figure out with basic arithmetic….. …..(I don’t want to)…(but that does explain a lot of…

We’ve discovered that this hound CAN NOT be given eggs to eat…Ever Again!….. ………….!!!EVER!!!…………. You see…it’s Springtime…and all the hens are cranked-up into over-drive with regards to egg production….. So as a result…it is easy to find errant eggs…on forgotten/impromptu nests….. …..and because we don’t know how long…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* And now for an alternative medicine post….. Since having been immersed in the raising of the most recent Irish Wolfhound puppies…I’ve re-aggravated my chronic super-sore neck…(which I would now have to categorize as acutely sore)….. It’s always been an issue…probably because of being dropped on my head so much from horseback….. …..but it is what it is….. The cervical spine is a delicate structural curvature….. I think there’s room for structural improvement but…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Life isn’t easy….. …..”Suck it up, Buttercup”…sometimes becomes a necessary mantra….. Lemony situations are everywhere….. I’m trying to concentrate on remembering & concentrating on the good things that occur….. They so easily slip into a comfortable memory-slot…and just as easily taken for granted….. …..why is that?…..
