wallfish 16,999 #2 Posted October 21, 2021 Will you please stop concerning yourself with the crazy conspiracy theories of climate change! Get out there and burn some fossil fuels, throw some plastic bottles in the ocean, pour some old crap gasoline down the storm drain and enjoy the environment while you can. Our grandchildren and great grandchildren can worry about that type of nonsense! 1 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was that a wedding or a funeral? I saw the buggy tracks from my place to yours. The Amish neighbor just returned home, about 5:45. I have lilacs blooming now for the second time, never had that before on these 40 year old trees. Edited October 21, 2021 by lynnmor 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

formariz 11,987 #19 Posted October 22, 2021 I also had second set of blooms this year in several plants like the dogwood. The amount of fruit all trees produced from acorns to walnuts and hickories is out of this world. More this year than the last four combined. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,229 #20 Posted October 22, 2021 15 hours ago, squonk said: You can keep the Broccoli! You have something in common with George HW Bush. George H. W. Bush, the 41st president of the United States, mentioned his distaste for broccoli a number of times. The first mention of broccoli during Bush's presidency was in March 1990, when he made a joke that the workers in the Office of Personnel Management would get merit pay "in broccoli".[1] Shortly after, a journalist from U.S. News & World Report broke a story that Bush had banned the vegetable from Air Force One.[2] In response, the broccoli-growers of America pledged to send a number of trucks of the vegetable to the White House. When asked if he'd lost the "broccoli vote" because of his comments,[1] Bush made the following casual remark about the vegetable outside the White House in an exchange with reporters:[3] I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid. And my mother made me eat it. And I'm President of the United States. And I'm not gonna eat any more broccoli! ... For the broccoli vote out there, Barbara loves broccoli. She's tried to make me eat it. She eats it all the time herself. So, she can go out and meet the caravan of broccoli that's coming in from Washington. — George H. W. Bush[4] George S. Dunlop, President of the United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association, gave First Lady Barbara Bush a bouquet of broccoli and an additional ten tons of the vegetable in trucks.[5][6] A few days afterwards, Bush hosted a state dinner to honour Tadeusz Mazowiecki, Prime Minister of Poland, and journalists noted there was no broccoli on the menu, as most of the broccoli given to the president's family by the farmers had been donated to the Capital Area Food Bank 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EB-80/8inPA 1,641 #25 Posted December 12, 2021 I’m kind of hoping all these nasty bugs overstaying their welcome succumb to a good hard rapid onset frost, get totally annihilated, and don’t return next spring. I believe I’d be ok with that. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
