On the face of it, we had a great weekend… lots of summer activities, good food, great weather. I am grateful for every single day that are able to enjoy the good things in our lives. This weekend’s snapshots below…
The Mr. harvesting onions…
and talking business with someone.
Did you know that the onion plant grows a beautiful globe flower?….
and this is what they look like at ground level… ready to harvest.
When the tall leaves fall over, they’re done.
the men in this house are in love with the belgian chocolate milk we get
from Smyth Dairy and the artisan bread from a local baker…
Look at these beautiful carrots…
And this really big dog! There are dog water bowls here and there
throughout the market, I just think that’s awesome.
Such a community vibe, kudos to those who put this idea together.
This is my stash….
and it went into last night’s campfire bundles…
You can use any variation on veggies…
There was another bonfire up on the hill….
These kids have all been friends since kindergarten..
I hope they’ll always remain good friends..
one of the jewels among the thorns in the crown of life.
They gathered again on Sunday at the Brownstone Quarry..
We did some of this…
..and there was some intense baby bunny watching…
..wonderful weekend, but I couldn’t get away from
something that’s been bothering me for some time now.
A small group of people in a particular political party
have turned debate on any big issues we have before us
here in this town, into a nasty spectacle.
They slander, they accuse, they use scare tactics
and personally attack those who are trying either through
elected office or through volunteer work – to improve
conditions on many levels here in town.
It’s one thing to disagree and state your grievances and concerns..
quite another to personally attack, slander, spew out misinformation
and leave comments on news forums that are snyde and sarcastic.
Ironic that the ones who complain the most are not often
the ones who are actually trying to do something to fix the problems.
Sad that this is the climate in our little town…
and the problem isn’t just here.
On a similar note…have you watched The Newsroom yet?
If you have the time and are so inclined, watch this video below…
..just a few minutes long.
It’s disturbing, yes… but profound as well.
tell me what you think.
But please, be kind in your response.
