Healthcare Video

I'm really losing my spirit over the whole health care sickness in this country. I don't know why we cling to this employer-based for-profit insurance nightmare. Actually, I do know why. Too many people have their fingers in the healthcare money pot, and they loath the idea of giving it up. They have the power and control to keep the status quo.

Oh well. At least we can sing our folk songs!

Lancaster County Photos

For those of you who don't regularly read my nephew Zel's blog, you really should click on over and see his photos he recently took around Lancaster. Here's the link.
They are awesome.

And my Dad has three types of water lilies in his pond. See them here in HIS blog.
They are also awesome!

Comings and Goings

On Saturday Mandy left for London and Rhoda moved from Mountville to Yellow House. We had a moving caravan of two pick-ups, two vans, one station wagon, and one sedan. We were quite a sight rolling up 222! All stuffed to the gills with Rhoda's belongings!

Mark had his First Calf!

Well... Bossie or Fanny had her first calf. Anyway, Mark was a happy Mid-Husband. The calf is appropriately named "Solstice." His farm website is here.

Stormy sky, in my Camera from a couple of weeks ago.

Sunset tonight.

Jody contemplating the pool. I did this with Autostich, which had an issue with the bars on the gazebo.

Wheat Photos

Here are some pictures of wheat fields. I show these in an attempt to encourage Zel to upload those very cool and much better photos that he took while HE was running.

Sometimes the critter I meet on the road aren't quite dead, yet. I came across this old ground hog over on Meadow Springs Road. He was missing an eye, and kept shuffling around in circles so he could see me out of his good eye. I'm amazed by how many of the animals I find dead on the road show signs of previous injuries, like missing digits and limbs, and big huge scars. These creature live in a natural world that is "red in tooth and claw," like Darwin said.


Here's an old Trans Am over at the Silver Spring scrap metal yard. That ivy on the fence is poison.
