More deadly tornadoes? Another erupting volcano in Iceland? Tsunamis and earthquakes in Japan? Floods in the Missisipp' (I drop the "i" now since I live in the South)? "Macho Man" Randy Savage passes away??? WHAT is going on now? I just don't know anymore, but I guess I should just be thankful everyday there isn't a natural disaster where I live...yikes...
Things like this make me go into list mode and be thankful for the things that we have...Little things like the heat, humidity, lack of good espresso, and the invertebrate pests of the South have been preoccupying me of late and bumming me out...I think with everything going on in the world I need to appreciate the South a bit more and stop my whining...
1) The summer heat giveth amazing produce - peaches and tomatoes and the like...
2) The summer heat also means amazing thunderstorms that fill up our rain barrel quite nicely
3) Mosquitoes feed bats, we like bats...other creepy crawlies feed...birds I guess? Ticks are just plain awful and I can't find a particular reason to stop disliking them, although Kerri thinks their life cycle is interesting, so I guess I should applaud evolution for that?
4) Whilst the espresso market is quite barren here, I need to appreciate that the finest BBQ and biscuits are easily a stone throw away from where we live and that in itself is a rarity...it's a super stretch, but it helps that now that I'm back on cold-brewing coffee...
5) I found a horse stable today that will give me free horse poo...does that happen often in life? I'm hoping the tomatoes embrace it as much as Hannah will...
this is only a partial list that I will be continually adding onto..this post turned odd no? This is what happens when Dan leaves and I have a blank canvas that is the interwebs....
More garden pics that you just can't get enough of...
