So true......sooo true!

The truth behind the photo. "We had the unfortunate luck of being stuck in the middle of the Delta computer shut-down," Lensing told TODAY Parents. Her flights were delayed and re-booked so many times that she spent more than 20 hours sitting in airports — with a two-month-old. "Anastasia had been held or in her carrier for many hours. My arms were tired. She needed to stretch," said Lensing. "And I had to communicate with all the family members wondering where the heck we were ." https://www.today.com/parents/mom-shamed-photo-her-her-baby-airport-t116843

I believe there is a silent "k" in "Monkeypox."

Happy Birthday sweetie!

Possibly ecto-mist.  I witnessed it several times at  a former workplace in Brookville.  Sometimes has a 'woosh" sound and cold chill with it. It kind of makes your hair stand on end until you get used to it. 

I knew a boy in high school who was at Camp Mt Run for the first time and got so frightened of the Hodag on the mountain that he ran and dove into a car through the open window and wouldn't come out, had to be taken home. He quit scouts.  

Thanks for the info.

It sure looks like a wild ageratum ( blue mist flower) and they are a native Pa wildflower. Is this a current photo? I ask because I normally see these blooming in late summer so I am not sure. The leaves are right and the flower is right though!

The photo was from Sept. 2017.

It's a wild flower, about 2 to 3 feet tall.  The leaf lower right section with lots of veins. Someone else guessed a type of ageratum. 

Can anyone identify this weed/flower?   Thank you.

The moped didn't do anything either. 👿

 

But it wasn't a Cow-a-saki!

Bin, So sorry you've lost your little one.

Huh, there are elk in the field and it just keeps panning away from them.  That sucks!

Anyone know what this is?  

Hubby just gave away a grocery bag full of tomatoes this morning, and I have another to go tomorrow.  We've been eating them for a couple of weeks. I will make some juice with some, but I quit making sauce.  The black ...whatever...cherry tomatoes were first.  I'm not crazy about them.  So far we have done 2 bushel of beans and gave away one.  Did 20 pints of beets so far, 15 doz ears of corn cut off and frozen. Stuffed and froze 60 peppers. We had a really good cantaloupe yesterday and have some nice watermelon soon ready.  We planted 50 lb. of potatoes, so those will have to be dug soon.  We've been eating them for a while.   I think I took some pictures, perhaps I can post them sometime soon.

We've been watering when nature didn't.  We set up one of those big liquid holding tanks to catch rain water and with it being elevated a bit from the garden there is enough pressure to water with a hose.

Our garden is doing well.  I have canned some beets to give more room for others to grow,  Last night hubby picked a bushel of yellow wax beans, I got 54 pints today.  He picked another bushel tonight, for canning tomorrow,  Planning to do corn on Wednesday.  We've been eating new potatoes for a couple of weeks now.

We've had to shoot a few crows from the bathroom window, other than that, our garden is doing well. 

Top picture is tomatoes and green peppers, Watermelon, beets, then cabbage and beans in fenced area.  Middle garden is potatoes, bottom garden is corn, cantaloupe and onions. 

I buy peppermint oil at the grocery store.  

We often get orbs and strange forms from fog (I assume) captures on our trailcams, but these two most recent ones I find really creepy.  Like the deer is the star of Animal Exorcist!  The second is mist/fog with a face in it.  

Looks like both have a big smile, pleasant dreams.  

90% of people are telling me I am making a mistake by getting a Chi. I keep reading that if you socialize them they don't bark as much. I also think if you let your dog get away with barking, then they will bark whenever they feel like it.

Wiener Dog doesn't bark unless someone comes to the door or steps foot in our yard if she is outside. She shuts up as soon as we tell her to. We have never let her bark because she wants to.

 

Any advice? ???

My dght-in-law has family who have (had) several of them.  I don't recall of them being barkers.  They would come and investigate then go lay down. 

No! It was a theater at one time. Also a community hall, dance hall, hang out for teens, etc. It was a very popular place to go.

 

(First time I ever laid eyes on my future hubby was at the Cave)

Was this the old theater that was on a street to the left of where the old elementary school was?  Maybe Peach Street or that area. In 2nd or 3rd grade (1950's) I had Mrs. Long for a teacher and our class walked to the theater to see a movie.  I had friends who went to The Cave for dances.
