LA CAFE DE Desperate Gardeners Releiving Stress and Bordeom!
Hey!!! thats my tomato!!
Easy Mate!! no its not.. its a clone!!!!
You better give it to Geek so she can practice... I got her drill plugged in and that guy is out in the back hog tied in the woodshed waiting for her.
You know how Geek can be if she does not have something to work on whilst she has someone to whittle on. She needs to test her majik on that mater so that she knows it will do the job on you know who!
Now here is your mater mate...chillax as Geek would say and have a cuppa!
See how close they look alike!!!
hi guys - yes there was an earthquake down south, I didn't feel it but know lots of people that did.
Luckily it was in an area of 'soft rock' so that absorbed it somewhat...
it is only a matter of time before NZ gets another really big one.
So they say...
and there are volcanoes up North that could wake up & blow our largest city off the map.
It is only in recent times that scientists realised that there is no such thing as an extinct volcano.
Hi dalfrye, well, lets hope those sleeping giants stay sleeping for a long time so we dont have to worry about it, but terrible thing for those later. Jeesh.
It would be so great if Geek could wave her magic wand and help that situation...
Anyway, I hope your having a great day anyway.
We have work to do so I will catch up with you later!
Thanks Blossom. I think I have the whammy down, but no matter. If his head blows up...oopsy daisy. hehehe
We are right on the New Madrid Fault which is ripe for a shake-up. A couple of years ago, we were woken up by a tremor. Quite a sobering experience.
Science, in many ways, is catching up to what our ancestors already knew.
Well you sound the alarm on your end of New Maddie and I will watch my end. I have felt her quake only 2 times in 50 years so shes a sleeper. But spozed to be worse than California when she goes.
Whats that you say, extinction is the rule, life is only temperary... enjoy it while it lasts.....
Oh speaking of extinct, saw some rare birds on our back forty yesterday! Need to do some research....they were awesome.
Details please Blossom.
The fault you live on, it runs through my yard too! YOu got the south end. All is quiet now though.
Well its a sunny day today... little bit of sprinkle.. but still all and all very nice.
Im going outside to make the best of it. Gotta check those tomaters again mate!

Hi elle, glad you could come.
Talk about the far end of the birthday scale... yesterday our group celebrated those who were sexy seniors 80 and over!
The secret of not getting old was to never die! Have fun and be yourself! Its not what you do but who you are that matters. Well, least as thatwas whatour speaker said!
Veggies anyone?

I heard that birthdays are good for your health...
have you noticed the more you have the longer you live?
hi all
yes that how it go
rain here today
elle
Dalfrye - that is a neat saying - I will have to remember that.
I turned 56 almost 2 weeks ago - I feel at least 15 years younger but my right knee felt 15 years older. Now, with a new anti-inflammatory prescription, my knee has gotten as young as the rest of me.
Blossom - I like how your alternate your healthy vegetable offerings with equally healthy ice cream. Make mines chocolate please.
Elle - send some rain my way!
Lol!! Carefull which of those veggies you bite into... 2 of them are plastic!!! LOL! Hah ha, faked you out! Well anyway so much for no calories!! I try! But that icescream was real!
mmmm- icecream, have you heard of world famous in New Zealand Hokey Pokey ice cream?
Once upon a time you couldn't get it anywhere except NZ, but now we send it to Aussie too - all those Kiwi ex pats missed it so much.
Our other 'unique' flavour is orange choc chip, never used to get that in Aussie either.
When I moved back to NZ I got a double decker with a scoop of each.
But I must confess to now being a big fan of Cookies & Cream - that didn't exist here when I was growing up.
We can even buy Oreo cookies here now, after years of reading about them it was quite exciting to see them in our supermarket.
dalfyre, that is so funny, but I am glad you can enjoy some of those flavors you used to not be able to get! I grew up on oreos! Funny thing about them, as a kid they tasted much better and creamier. Then they changed the recipe a tad. I like the old ones better.
And here I thought I was the only one that liked orange and chocolate! I love the bitter sweet!. I have not tried the ice cream flavor, but I do endulge in chocolate chips chased down with a tall cold glass of orange juice! YUUUM!
Well, heres a cuppa and some chops! (__)? .........!
I must admit when I finally tasted Oreos I was a bit sorry I bothered.
I like the biscuit part ok but the filling... blah
The creamy filling was better years back, then they started that crap on trans fats and now the recipe sucks in my opinion today. The chocolate too seems a bit more sugary tasting than years back. I tell ya what, there is nothing like the old recipe. Kripes sake, ruin a good cookie...sheesh! I swear there are a lot of foods that tasted better years ago and now.. ugh....I mean to, get real, if we wanted a helath food, we would eat a banana or something.. Gimme a GOOOOOD COOKIE, fresh butter, no skimping on the GOOOD stuff that made them good. May as well eat cardboard as that what some of the re-done cookies taste like. Yeck!
Well, heres some naturals fresh from the garden here...Tomato anyone? That biggest sucker was almost 2 lbs in itself! Fresh organically grown in chicken poo! No skimping on the family recipe there and vine ripe! 'cept fer the green ones, they kinda broke off when I got the reds!....Lets get some real butter and fry those greenies up!
Oh that looks delightful BB, hope we soon get some red maters. Got some potatoes, just enough to go along with the baked ham.
Well here is the basket of mates I promised terri. theres more coming...
Those taters look super.. oh shoot, forgot to weed my patch today.. dang it.
Ohhh Lovely Blossom, Thanks very much. I'll take them over to the Flowerpot and make a salad... LOL!
Brought you a few flowers for the porch, have a nice evening!
And for your table my dear....sunnys!
Could I help myself to a couple tomaters for tonights salad? They look scrumptious BB.
Sure haighr, I will clone you a basket of your own... take all you want!
