Better late than never!

That's what my grammy always said.

An Exerpt from The Covington Daily News

My mom and I found this jem in the paper this morning whilst sipping our coffee... sadly there was no picture.

Letter to the editor... An embarrassment to Covington

POSTED June 12, 2009 12:01 a.m.

Dear Editor: I am a 78-year-old woman, and I agree with a recent letter in your paper from Mr. Harry Long. When our ladies group goes to a local restaurant with a bar, we see these girls — floozies — in the parking lots. They are half-naked and look like tattooed freaks who just arrived from a Nevada brothel. They act indecently and will wallow all over any man who will let them. I see what Mr. Long was talking about as these women seem to want to sell sex, probably for drugs. These women do all appear to be white and are an embarrassment to Covington. A few years ago you saw nothing like this in Covington, and now it is everywhere. I attend church every Sunday, and I never see any of these women on Sunday morning going to church. It is sad to think that these women may have children and this is part of what our future holds for us.

P.S. I am leaving for Europe today and there had better be some really good shit up on this blog when I return...

April goes to Chi-Town

Hey Ya'll!!!

I thought I'd provide some pics from my time in the big city...

This was when Han and I went someplace called HotChocolate. It was good.

This is my future pet.

This is Shmik looking happy and loved.

The Farm!

This is Chicken, one of the two house cats, warming up by the wood stove.

This is the front porch, full of seedlings waiting to be transplanted (or sold).

Here's the backyard... we've got spinach and strawberries in the small plot on the left. Snap peas are by the trellis at the back, then spinach, fava beans, potatos and various onions (leeks, shallots, chives...) as you move towards the front in the right side plot. There's Dutch White Clover planted around everything for the bees... their hive is behind the hump of trees in the back left corner.
These are some squash seedlings we've got warming in the front window.

The living room with my favorite stove ever! It's so warm!

This is my room... a big wood plank floor, antique bed, and an old handmade table and dresser.

don't watch while your mom is in the room
