Next Saturday! Save the Date!!!

NOW is the time to attack the 1st year thistles

Get out there with your hoe and attack!  Don't let them go to the terrible two-year-old stage, when they grow a stem with multiple blossoms, bloom and then BOOM! spread seeds.

While reading the SouthWest Writers Storyteller's Anthology (2013 edition) I came upon this poem.  Now IF any of you took the leap this past year from Windows 7 to the FREE Windows 10 - I think you can relate to this poem.

CRASH by Peggy Spencer

Poor Wally's computer has gone on the blink,

He tried to upgrade it but what do you think,

The hard drive went wacko, the files disappeared,

His screen sent out sparks and the keyboard got weird.

Whenever he typed he got music, no joke,

His computer was fine, but now it's baroque.

the BLOG has a mind of its own.

Don't ask me WHY you just got a post about Flu shots dated Oct 2015.  These blogs do that to me sometimes.  Just out of the blue it sends an old one that failed to send on its appropriate publish date.  Sorry.

Reminds me of THE BLOB that Tom Bird (the weather forecaster at last Tuesday WUI Speaker Series) said sits out there above El Nino and changes everything.  That's why we just had very dry February and March, even in an El Nino year.  It is the BLOB's fault.

So in the case of weird blog posts -- its the BLOG's fault!  Just keep a sense of humor -- and smile!
