ENTRY # EIGHTEEN HUNDRED & TWENTY NINE



I hope that the thought for the day above is better than the one yesterday. Being close to the fountain you could not hear it for the rushing of the water. These thoughts are important to me. I like to start each new day with at least one good thing to think about. Dad.

Good Morning.

I hope that you are feeling good on this Tuesday morning. September the 1st I am feeling good but I know what would help me to feel a lot better. It would be a cup 0f that coffee right now, and I know that you feel the same, so let's sit down and have a cup together.
.

Tell me some of your plans for today, and that you are going to face this day with a lot of hope and confidence, and I hope a smile. Sometime smiles are a little hard to find this early in the morning 4;16 a.m.

. This above may be a little late to help us this tomato season but I am going to have this on file for next year. Dad.

I am wondering if Misty, Oreo and Sara are awake at this hour in the morning. I would like to know how they are doing,but I am not going to disturb their rest right now. In a little while I am going to Sara's Dog Training ..That will take me right to Saras blog where I can see a lot of very interesting things that Sara is doing. Sara how do you do all that you do? Dad.

Stop the Tomato Slander!

Let’s get this cleared up right now: the late blight is not the fault of the tomatoes, heirloom or hybrid.
Nor is it the fault of the home gardeners who are trying to distance themselves, even just a little, from the corporate food grid.
It’s not the fault of potatoes, or the recession, or Michelle Obama.
And it’s only kind of the fault of the big box plant brokers who sold the infected plants.
No, the bulk of the blame for the epidemic of late blight this growing season belongs squarely where the blame for epidemics nearly always belongs: Mama Nature. We had a cool, wet spring and early summer, and the blight just loved it. Hey, it happens.
It’s all part of a little process

I love the Wise Old Owl. Those words are so true. We often learn so much by listening. I am finding that I do just that and listen more.
I hope your day is a great one!

How did it get to be September so quick? I am not going to waste my precious time this week...my last week of summer vacation! I'll be spending it reading a few books, playing with the dogs, and soaking in the fresh air while I can.

Hope you have a good day!

Good Morning Dad,
I love the Wise Old Owl also. It's a cooler here this morning with a nice little breeze blowing. I'm so ready for Fall! There's nothing like those cooler temps. I'm sure it will be much cooler there before here.

I hope you have a wonderful day. I'm going to go outside, sit on the porch & enjoy my hummingbirds because I know they won't be here much longer. :0)

After enjoying a strong cup of coffee with you earlier this morning, I decided not to waste the day. I had some mending to do and when I told a friend my sewing machine was open, she dropped off some of her things that needed a stitch or two. After the mending I washing the kitchen windows...a southern exposure with lots of sun. I love looking out at the yard and the birds through sparkling windows..it makes me smile! Now for a coffee break on the patio relaxing and listening to the birds chirp. ..Sara's Mom

Dear Dad and Ms. Mary:

Oh, that's a favorite Thought For The Day, Dad -- one to take to heart and one to live, don't you agree? I like that one a lot!

And I had to SMILE when I read about the tomato blight -- not that THAT's a happy thought, but when I read about the fact that it's nothing to blame on our beautiful First Lady. ;) I'm very glad the record is set straight on THAT matter. ;)

We're still under smoky skies here; we had a little rain this morning, cooler temps (100 vs. 105) and higher humidity, which helps some. Good masks do, too. :)

Love to you both from Jamaka and family, asking for prayers for everyone on the fire line
