REDNECK

I spent most of the day working in my back yard, scratching out a small section in the corner for a raised garden. First I tilled to get the grass broken up.


Next I built a 8' x 16' rectangular box using landscaping timbers.

Then the REAL work began. Sorry, no pictures of us hauling 1000 pounds of topsoil from my pickup to the garden using 5-gallon buckets. Trust me. It wasn't anywhere close to a "Kodak moment!"

I discovered a new way to do photo albums. Below is a sample. I've been having a little trouble with it, though. It seems to be hit or miss. Sometimes the pictures show up; sometimes they don't. I may try to do more of these if they don't cause more trouble than they're worth. Below are some interesting flora-fauna combinations ala Photoshop. Cool, huh?

Here's the latest addition to my chile pepper motif kitchen. It's a crocheted chile pepper pot holder my craftaholic lifemate made for me.

(Hope this keeps me in good standing with Pittsburghknitophiles!)

CLEAN JOKE

It is hard to find a joke today without a dirty word or two in it, but, here is one: Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."

Wipe that smile off your face!

Well, that's it. I'm all in. Time to hit the hay to rest up for the week ahead. Hope you enjoyed your weekend. Take care. Be well and...

Remember to keep it funny, hot & spicy!
