Freak weather we're having

Now it seems that every other story on the news is about a calamity of epic proportions, the thunderstorms, hurricanes, and sinkholes. I believe this has been caused by climate change, or maybe Howard, the God, is mad at us. I was wondering how we could make him change up on that; would he (Howard) like it if we planted more flowers? Should we leave food at the altar? What about Money? That might make him think twicet.
I'm going to put some change out in the back yard for Howard. I have like 60 cents. Let me know when the sun comes out.

kitties are fine fine folks.

blogs is all the rage.

seems like blogs has not gone away, they are still here and thriving. I guess the thing to do is climb in and blog up something.
Like heredity; it really bites, and will bite in future times. the main idea is that some of us have all these parents and family, and when you look backwards, you can see what they call heredity. it starts somewhere and ends somewhere, one might assume. the parents and grandparents are gone to their rewards, and we have faced the enemy and he is us. We will learn in this blog about how who you are has something to do with who you were, and even to some extent, what your parents were who.
there's nothing new about heredity; it's been around for a long time, before you and I were even born, and it will be around after us. when we aren't born anymore.
we will continue to find more heredity as we learn more about it. there's always hope.

Spring is on its way!

I can smell it in the air! I can hardly wait to find some flower seeds and get them started! What will it be this year? Marigolds? Petunias? Or a vegetable?
If nothing else, I'm going to get out in the yard and pick up and tidy and make the place look loved. This is going to be GREAT!

Well it's all Katie's fault

..so now, I'd be expected to say something noteworthy. I went through all the junk mail, threw out some that I had no interest in, saved some to enjoy at a later date which actually is piling up at quite a clip, pushed that pile into the other pile, and then came in to read and delete my junk email. Where does it go when I delete it? Into cyberspace? Ha, ha, we didn't have cyberspace when I was growing up. Just regular space.
That's just the beginning ... what about the housework, so I can go to bed and start all over tomorrow? who will help me pick the corn? who will help me grind the wheat? and now you want a piece of cake? Dream on!
I was disappointed when I realized this week for my husband's birthday, that I had done what any fourth-grader would do, I got him a cake that he didn't care for but that I did. This week the idea that I am on a diet went straight to H-E double hockey sticks. I thought he'd like it, he didn't turn it down, but he wasn't totally ecstatic about it like I was. so every evening this week, I've had a big piece of cake for dessert. Then I made a mental note, *bing* to do some hellacious physical efforts to make up for it, but it hasn't happened yet... then I got all up about having my own blog! Is this how the Huffington post got started? Well, that's all for now, though, and it's all Katie's fault!
