Beautiful Sunflower…Its so big, reminds me of the ginormous Cabbages grown here and on display at the Alaska State Fair…
As far as the bees, I would have left the car and taken a cab home…I have been known to jump out of my car at an intersection due to just one bee in the car…
I don’t like bees at all…

I realized this weekend how much I rely on Ann’s blog now. Feeling connected to all of you lovely people is a true bright spot in my day. This realization came after not being on my computer for a few days due to un-fun stuff taking up my time. I’m now caught up!
LOL Tammy (I can’t grow crap either).
Gloria, I HATE going to my GYN. I hate it when the doctor says “Scoot down some more” when I already feel like my coochie is in Florida. Then I can’t help feeling like I’m a turkey on Thanksgiving (you know, when you yank the legs apart and go fishing around for the innards.) On a more serious note, I was very sorry to read about your friend with cancer. It is bad enough to go through the cancer battle, but when it is a brain tumor that alters ones personality, it is so heartbreaking to watch. My thoughts are with you and your friend.
Tracy, again and again you inspire me!
Ann, thank you for creating and maintaining this forum where we all gather. It is such a gift. Also, as I reach the halfway point in this writing class I’m taking, I just have to say you are so talented!! It is so hard to write well. I read my stuff and the stuff of the other students and we are all so hopelessly mediocre – ha. You are a true author and I really admire that. And finally, kudos on the Youtube clips. Terri Garr is one of my faves and I LOVE Gene Hackman. And we’ll never see the likes of Don Knotts again. Genius.

Geez, the heads on those are huge! Almost human like but sort of alien looking. Do they become alive in the dark of night & are responsible for running around corn fields making those bizarre designs that you can see from an airplane?

Ok Imelda, er Kathy. 200 pairs????? OMG! lololol
Tammy, I love you, you are so brutally honest.
Ann, forgot to say that the sunflower ‘pie’ that you have will enable you to plant your own sunflowers next year. And how did the cougar urine work for you?

I’m not sure what kind of fertilizer Moses uses and he doesn’t ever comment here. I’m not sure he knows that you can comment. But I know he uses “Bobex” which I believe is some kind of bobcat urine. The farm where he keeps his sunflowers is an organic vegetable farm so he can only use natural, organic fertilizers and repellents.
About the shoes in the car. First, there will be no shoes in the car. Then I will be dressed for a meeting in the city but will throw in sneakers for tennis later. The city shoes stay in car after I change for tennis. Other times I throw in riding boots. SOmetimes I get a pedicure and bring flip-flops and the riding boots I was wearing stay in the car. Sometimes I am wearing shoes and it’s hot, so I take them off and throw them in the back and drive barefoot, which I love to do. All shoes go in, but few come out. So I have a car FILLED with shoes. Now, most mornings, I walk barefoot over our cold gravel driveway, and, once I’m in the car, I pick out a pair of shoes and drive off.

Does Moses sell the sunflower seeds for planting? He has so many wonderful varieties, not your everday roadside flowers. At least in Texas! Oh – please tell him that you have many friends who would love to learn his ways. So inspiring.

What a wonderful line in that poem – “What’s madness but nobility of soul at odds with circumstance?” Wow. Blew me away.
