The first time I saw this, I knew exactly how he felt. Good day or bad day? Hard to tell.

Beautiful video.

 

Pay no attention to the egg on the right. That’s Alicia’s little green wonder. The one on the left is from one of the new hens! Either Annie’s or Violet’s. Very exciting!

(Ok, in all fairness, the egg may belong to Gimpy. She stopped laying a few months ago but maybe she’s decided to start up again. Who knows.)

 

I don’t get to the “mall” that much but, tonight I did. Walking around, I started noticing rosaries everywhere. All up in the Buckle type stores I was being drug into. Even on the little mini store carts in the main hall. They had some that were over top with gaudiness. It was fantastic!

Ok, you have to realize that I am a Jesus paraphernalia FREAK. I love plastic Jesus statues, concrete saint statues for the yard, all kinds of rosary beads, Jesus bandaids, crucifixes of all shapes and sizes, bowling nuns. EVERYTHING.

At first sight of someone wearing a rosary as fashion, the old school Catholic in me thinks, “Oh, come on, that’s not some necklace. That’s meant to be used for prayer and devotion. You’re kind of being disrespectful.” Ok, but wait a minute. That’s completely the WRONG attitude to have. Rosaries becoming a fashionable accessory? Oh, heck yeah! I think its great people are starting to see them as “cool”. I hope every kid in the world picks one up from those silly mall cart salesmen. Let them buy them from gum machines for a quarter! They can come with a complimentary Jesus temporary tattoo. I hope they wear those things with all kinds of gangsta pride! Own that shit!

I also hope they get curious and research their origins. Not only are they truly BAD ASS looking, the rosary and the prayers the beads count off can be a truly comforting devotion. Who knows, that faith stuff could be really “cool” one day, too.

NOTE: All right, don’t start thinking I’m trying to get all preachy on you. I’m not trying to convert you or pull you into some cult. These are merely my opinions and I completely respect yours. But come on, you have to admit rosaries are BAD ASS.

 

Actually, I don’t think he did much of anything but freak out when I found him. He must be a fighter because he’s missing part of his tail.

I finally got the beds all cleaned up and ready to plant. In the process, I broke my hoe. It was cheap and not very sturdy. Time to replace that crap.

Of course, it’s still too dang cold for anything good to grow. Hopefully, in about 3 weeks, I can start dropping in seeds and seedlings. Yippee!

 

Amazing. The city is losing its mind. There is panic in the streets. Our dogs are amazed at their crunchy foot steps.

 

Give this a try and see if you don’t agree. You can. You will.
