What a day

I battled four hours with blogger this morning trying to publish a M-E-G-A post for my ben'jammin. (He'll read it when he's in his thirties.)
I want to know why blogger remembers me some times and not all the time. Why will one picture show up 4 times when I only publish it once?

OH! AND WHY THE PREVIEW IS NEVER WHAT PUBLISHES?

I wanted to do a little water coloring.

I planned on making concord grape jam. I want to know why two identical trees would not produce fall colors at the same time.


Yes.. thats the bowl I picked grapes in. I must have dropped it there in my bewilderment.

Today was a holiday for me. Thank you Christopher Columbus.

You have my email address, if you figure out the answer to either of those questions about blogger, please write!!!!

Both of those issues are sending me crazy! Especially the multiple photo thing as my posts are pretty heavily photo driven, the other I can live with. This never happened in the old blogger.

You sound very confused! And, naturally, I can't answer any of your questions.

Good grief! Blogger is really throwing fits! ! ! Finally let me on here to post you a comment!

The grapes looks scrumptous! My grapes didn't ripen up this year. . .

I actually found Cajun seasoning at Dollar General. . .I also use Creole seasoning (Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning).

I was bewildered today too - why wasn't the mailman coming? Where was my mail???? And then, about 4pm - it hit me.

Cool trees... :)
Hope the jam turns out yummy. I was just telling someone about how we used to peel them and swallow them whole. They were scrumptous.

I defintely have no regrets about leaving blogger!

Those trees are so cool. It's just like twins who look nothing alike!

Songbird. So you noticed.

Those grapes are gorgeous! I'm so impressed you do stuff like make jam.

And have I ever mentioned that Blogger stinks?

Those grapes look yummy good. Do you have a vineyard? My secret wish is to own a vineyard and winery.

The trees are not getting along so they are contradicting each other.

I had a word-only post today - and it took me for-freakin'-EVER to get blogger to cooperate.

I'm with ya on the frustration.

And I'm thinking those lovely grapes would taste great in a wine!

I have two Maples like that out front. One is green, one is flaming red. What's up with that?

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
