Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

“I remember sitting in psychology class learning about Pavlov, thinking ‘Those stupid dogs.’
Then the bell rang and we all went to lunch.”
~Gary Delaney, writer~
Morning Betsy, and then there is the Pavlov’s cat. When the bell rings it starts cleaning his butt. 😂
Hahaha!!!! Ain’t it the truth, G! I’ve been witness to that many times.😁💖
Really cats have no sense of time or place.
Or maybe they just don’t give a … ❤️😁.
Bingo!!😂
Pffft, I have a 20 pound Main Coon. I get up a bit before 3AM. If food ain’t in her bowl BY 3AM she finds me…..
Weekends, when I need to catch a bit of sleep, are interrupted by 3AM to feed her, even if there is a bit of food in the bowl.
She KNOWS what time it is.
Adorable yet aggravating not-so-little kitty.
I know they are BIG cats and absolutely gorgeous!
All the cats we’ve ever had wore wrist watches. Not really. But they, like your beautiful not so little baby, also knew exactly what time it was when their stomachs said feed me. The worst was when the clocks changed. It was of no consequence to them that they did so. Food time was food time, no matter what the clock said.
And I don’t know what it is about their food bowls. Yes, there may be dry food in it (what our cats ate), but if they could see the bottom of that bowl, well, not good enough. We were absolute willing slaves to their desires. Wouldn’t have had it any other way😉
You are right on every count!
It’s amazing the good that a pet brings to life.
They turn a house into a home. I think it’s as simple as that.💖
Dogs are smarter…Betsy, my little sheltie, who is still an only child, has learned how to misbehave to make me correct him…and then he behaves and gets a treat. He has figured it out quite nicely because he corrects himself quickly and then looks at me, for the treat.
I have had to mix it up and supply more pats and verbal praise.
Nope, we are the dumb ones.
Don’t know who is smarter, Aggiegirl. Our two dogs are there ready to eat at feeding time, acting always very excited. The male cat, always a talker, will let you know about an hour before feeding time that he is about to die from starvation. The two female cats will wait for us half of the time to go get them and carry them to their food bowls.
Now you tell me who is the smartest. 😂
See now, G, I am such a sucker that I fed mine even it want time. If they meowed for it, they got it. My heart is too soft.
Hahaha!! Willing dupes is what we are, AggieGirl…’cause we love them so much. I’ve always known Shelties were particularly sharp. Very much like I’m sure their distant cousins the border collies I so enjoyed watching work when we lived in sheep country.
I do so hope he is getting used to being an only child, for the present at least. I know you are probably still planning to adopt another when the time is right and that special one that needs you shows up…which I have no doubts will happen.😘🌷

Great, good morning, Feisty. You and jay have started my day with wonderful music. Can hardly till I’m done work to listen to all the selections. Husband and I both love this music. God bless you both. many hugs to you and jay for a great start to the day
🙂 🙂
Those last two selections serve to remind me just what an amazing songwriter exists in Kris Kristofferson. Not just the wonderful music he wrote by the amazing and meaningful lyrics that accompany the melodies.
Saw them probably the same year at the Cynthia Mitchell pavilion in the Woodlands.
All very good …💪🇺🇸😀👍
😎😎
Good Morning, jay. Great music to start my day. Work will go much better with this beat!!! Yipiiii.
Ki yi yeah 😉
Thanks Jay.Besides always having liked the Outlaws,Green Grass and High Tides has a memory for me now that is unforgettable.Was on the California I-80 heading up “the hill” to the slopes,like a hundred times before…somewhere near Dutch Flats when I learned of Rush Limbaugh’s passing.The same beautiful ride I had enjoyed so often,now took on a different meaning.I just lost probably the best friend,for almost 30 years,that I never knew.Those majestic views then had a special significance in that we are only here for a short while,and it is best to appreciate His spacious skies and amber waves of grain while we can.Funny how sometimes a piece of music can trigger a memory.Thanks again my friend. 🙂
We used to plan our runs to catch Rush’s show when he was local in Cali. I still look at the clock when it’s almost time for Rush. RIP El Rushbo.
Mornin’, Mr jay💖. It’s said a good guest knows when it’s time to go home. Unfortunately, Rush went Home way too early and just when we needed him most.
Robert Johnson is quite possibly the most famous American Delta bluesman. There is a legend surrounding his mystique where he supposedly made a deal with the devil — fame and fortune in exchange for his soul. This is said to have been done at crossroads in Mississippi on highway 61. Did it really happen or was it just clever storytelling on Johnson’s part? Over the decades millions of people have heard the story, some even visited crossroads on highway 61 . . . Some 27 million people have listened to this recording on Youtume.
In the mid 1980’s a coming-of-age movie took the original Robert Johnson imagery, repackaged it a bit, and produced a very enjoyable “devil-at-the-crossroads” movie. The story is about a road trip to Mississippi and Highway 61 made by a young man and his elderly bluseman mentor who, we discover, has made his own deal with the devil. This scene from the movie begins at the mythical and magical crossroads . . .
In case you’re interested in the background of how Crossroads was made, I’ll include this link to a documentary on the subject:
Folks have no idea how much Robert Johnson has influenced music. They’ve heard so many of his guitar licks performed by so many other artists that it’s literally incalculable.
Listening to his original recordings is both intense and eye opening to the fact you’ve heard so many bits and pieces before.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_and_Mr._Johnson
Eric Clapton has a similar take on it. Once you start listening to RJ, you keep going back.
YouTube is full of cover versions of RJ songs. For good reason, RJ has had a profound influence on not just blues, but other forms of music.
This is three minutes of a cover version, true to the original, that you won’t regret if you like blues:
Nailed it! 🙂 I’m sure you noticed that he’s using a ubiquitous deep socket for his slide?
Wow! I DID miss that!!!
Goooood eye!
We can’t leave out Cream’s ode to the story as well… performed live at Albert Hall
Ummm . . .like . . . wow . . . man . . . 🙂
Wonderfully woven piece by a talented group of musicians. AND as Post Modern Juke Box teaches us, “it’s all about the bass”.
Well, dunno who will be back to hear it this in the day, but…….might as well book-end it with Cream in 2005 at the Royal Albert Hall:
In particular, we implore thy grace and protection for the ensuing day. Keep us temperate in all things, and diligent in our several callings. Grant us patience under our afflictions. Give us grace to be just and upright in all our dealings; quiet and peaceable; full of compassion; and ready to do good to all men, according to our abilities and opportunities. Direct us in all our ways. Defend us from all dangers and adversities; and be graciously pleased to take us, and all who are dear to us, under thy fatherly care and protection. These things and whatever else thou shalt see to be necessary and convenient to us, we humbly beg, through the merits and meditation of thy Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Amen
~~Book of Common Prayer~~
May His blessings and healing rest on all here today in the branches of our tree, where I know He hears us all.🙏
Happy Cursday, Treepers. Here’s a great story about rescuing/adopting a very senior dog. Just goes to show what real love for an old dog can accomplish . . .
Good morning, Garrison💖 My soft old heart thanks you for this one.
Hi, Betsy. A belated good morning to you to (it’s still a little bit morning here in Texas . . .). I like old dogs. Perhaps because I’m one myself. A standing joke between my wife and me was my telling her that I was her dog. 🙂
Haha!! Not a bad thing to be though…faithful and loving. Old dogs really are the best😉!
June 23 Oswald Chambers
Acquaintance With Grief
A Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief. — Isaiah 53:3
We are not acquainted with grief in the way in which Our Lord was acquainted with it; we endure it, we get through it, but we do not become intimate with it. At the beginning of life we do not reconcile ourselves to the fact of sin. We take a rational view of life and say that a man by controlling his instincts, and by educating himself, can produce a life which will slowly evolve into the life of God. But as we go on, we find the presence of something which we have not taken into consideration, viz., sin, and it upsets all our calculations. Sin has made the basis of things wild and not rational. We have to recognize that sin is a fact, not a defect; sin is red-handed mutiny against God. Either God or sin must die in my life. The New Testament brings us right down to this one issue. If sin rules in me, God’s life in me will be killed; if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed. There is no possible ultimate but that. The climax of sin is that it crucified Jesus Christ, and what was true in the history of God on earth will be true in your history and in mine. In our mental outlook we have to reconcile ourselves to the fact of sin as the only explanation as to why Jesus Christ came, and as the explanation of the grief and sorrow in life.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The Bible is a relation of facts, the truth of which must be tested. Life may go on all right for a while, when suddenly a bereavement comes, or some crisis; unrequited love or a new love, a disaster, a business collapse, or a shocking sin, and we turn up our Bibles again and God’s word comes straight home, and we say, “Why, I never saw that there before.”
Good morning Cat! ❤️
Hiya grandpa!
How’s those veins doing? I tried to blow the rain to you all down there. Don’t think it worked though.
Veins are doing great! Told the nurse at the office that my legs look much younger than me. LOL!
No rain, yet, but it’s coming eventually. We usually get it all at once. Did you find more barker eggs on your hike? 💜
Hiya, Cat! 🙂
😊
Great new piece fron Colonel Douglas Macgregor on a Swiss News outlet.
https://weltwoche.ch/daily/this-war-has-been-lost-a-long-time-ago/
It is striking to me that the interviewer has the same emotional attachment to the western propaganda as any propagandist on this side of the Atlantic.
Same propaganda. Same emotional drive.
Sure does feel Orwellian.
European countries used to be unique and individual. They are losing so much.
So glad you linked to this. Thank goodness for Colonel MacGregor…in my view a reliable source in West for the true aspect of US/Nato war being prosecuted against Russia.
He certainly has been forthright and honest in every interview, and this one is no different. The only voice in the West countering the hysterical propaganda issuing forth from every mouthpiece of the government.
Thanks for link!
-Sent it to a woke individual who is otherwise a very good human. 😬
Perhaps there might be an awakening 🎚
https://twitchy.com/amy-313134/2022/06/22/latest-liberal-outrage-is-over-martins-potato-rolls/ says that Martin’s Famous Potato Rolls and Bread is being boycotted because “… a board member made a private donation to Pennsylvania gubernatorial hopeful Doug Mastriano’s campaign.” (Doug Mastriano is a Republican.)
Their bread is expensive. But if I make a purchase from them, that seems to be a good investment in protecting free speech.

AKC Best in Show 2022, a bloodhound!
https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/22/us/westminster-dog-show-winner/index.html
Sorry for CNN link.
My goodness, AG! A bloodhound! Wonderful.
I have a friend in Britain who judged at Crufts, the British equivalent of the Westminster. Very exciting. She knew her dogs all right. She loved dogs and had several, but was very dispassionate about them (if that makes any sense), and so was a perfect judge.
Some day I would love to own one but their needs don’t meet my lifestyle right now. They are an awesome breed.
Wow, dispassionate? People her are psycho crazy about their dogs and favorite breed. And everyone is an expert/s.
I cannot say I know a lot of people who are judges in conformation. Our agility judges are usually an owner of the breed of the club sponsoring an event, so that makes it fun. Where I show at, its the same people competing over and over, weekend after weekend. That is where AKC makes some big bucks.
I love watching replays of Crufts Agility, with the announcer who gives a constant running commentary of the run, and sometimes inserts a ‘dogs’ perspective, especially when there are misses (which happen more often than not)!
The Brits love their dogs all right. My friend judged Norfolk terriers, feisty little dogs with short legs. She and my carriage driving sister in law had 5. Very yappy…the dogs, not the ladies😁. But they were solidly built, low to the ground and full of energy. Wonderful dogs. We loved Crufts when it came around, and like so many British events, looked forward to it every year.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
The fastest land mammal is a toddler who has just been asked, “What’s in your mouth??”
God bless all our littles. The sights of Satan’s minions are on them now. May He awaken the parents to whom He gave these precious gifts, that they stand between their children and the face of pure evil which wants them for its own.
Amen.

Verse of the Day for Thursday, June 23, 2022
✟
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
Psalms 23:4 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
Good morning everyone. Such a beautiful blue sky this morning. Sky blue and the blues of Caribbean waters are my favorite colors. Such an ocular delight. Which brings to mind how grateful so many of us should be for what we take for granted, our senses of sight, smell, touch, taste and sound. So much beauty in this world to be appreciated. Every day, all day long.
Simple blessings. Every day blessings. Never take any of them for granted.
Have a wonderful day everyone. Every last moment of it with eyes and ears open. God bless all. Cheers!
Good morning, Levi. Thank you for this beautiful post. I delight every day in the beauty that the Lord has given me. I live in the woods and enjoy many of Gods creatures. Have a great day. God bless you for bringing these delightful post to us. Hugs and large smiley face.
Good morning Marti. Thank you and many blessings to you and yours.
Our prior home backed to field and woods where deer would come to visit. Of course, I fed them, thus ensuring the visits. It really is a joy to have them grace our lives. Nature itself, as brutal as it cane be, is primarily calming and serene. It’s good to have a little slice of heaven here on earth.
Have a beauty of a day. Cheers!
Good morning Levi and Marti! Fixing to go and enjoy the outdoors while it’s not too hot. The garden needs watering and some branches need a trip to the burn pile. 😁
Morning Gramps. Git er done early. Then kick back and enjoy the day. Blessings to you and your gal. Cheers!
All done for today. Getting really warm. Cheers mate!
“Fixin’ to”…. if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were actually born in Texas!😉💖
But I was,Bet. The moment that I step out of the plane at Houston International my real life began. 😁
That’s so lovely, truly🤗…remember,
“I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could.”
😉😘
Good evening, Grandpa. Hope you got you outdoor things done before it got too hot there. We had a beautiful day here. Some rain this am and nice sunshine this afternoon. It worked out good for me since I worked this am and was free to enjoy the afternoon. Smiley face
Good evening Marti. We get a couple of hours of work at the most. Yesterday morning I split some wood for my smoker. A few years ago I was really fortunate to buy a splitting ax made in Finland not in China. Would have preferred one made in the USA but this one does the job very nicely.
About 15-16 years ago we planted 6 Monterey oaks around the driveway to the house. The big freeze last year killed 3. I let them be an extra year just in case but they were done. There are shoots coming from the trunks at the ground level so I cut them above it. Trimmed the branches from the trunks and cut them in logs for the smoker. Normally I use live and post oak, and a little pecan. Interested to see how the Monterey oak does for smoking brisket. Seems to be softer wood then the live oak that we have growing all over the place.
It did split very easy. In light of the current wood splitting talk that we had here just a few days ago, I could here that voice, “hit the crack boy, hit the crack!” LOL
So this morning had to gather the branches and take them to the burn pile. Once we get the rain going, we’ll have one ginormous bonfire but will have to get a few inches of rain first.
Good morning, Marti💖 I’ve all been partial to the woods, where all sorts of God’s creatures live and hide and move. I can only imagine the sorts you see. Wonderful! Hoping your day is a really good one.
Good evening, Betsy. Had a long day at work but it was a very good day, thank you. My husband and I were both raised in cities and have no desire to ever go back. We love our little piece of heaven here in the woods.
You found where you were supposed to be. I don’t blame you. I can well imagine the peace, because we had it once upon a time. I dredge up the memories of it every single day. Sigh…and sigh some more…
Good morning, Levi💖 You are right. The blues of a sea, some fading to greens mixed in, are amazing. When the sun’s rays hit them, then the sea becomes bejeweled, with little diamonds dancing wildly throughout. Hard to think of a a more magical sight. All provide by Almighty God. Enjoy your day😁
Morning Betsy. Oh, you are so correct about the “then the sea becomes bejeweled, with little diamonds dancing wildly throughout”.
I have a special fondness for Laguna Beach, CA for that very reason. A favorite venue of mine there, Las Brisas, sat atop a bluff overlooking the beach and ocean below. And the way the water sparkled and glistened in the sun there was a spectacle exactly as you describe. Just the tips. Thousands of them in a perpetual twinkling. Totally MAGICAL.
Have a beauty of a day. Blessings to you and yours.
Thank you😊. I know what you mean and have experienced it, not nearly as often as you have…but the memory is certainly there.
You made me think of one time long ago when I was standing on a totally deserted beach near Akumal in Mexico. Just me…and the sea which was churning… and the sky in which the clouds were dark and darkening in various shade of gray and charcoal, voluminous, and moving quickly.
Talk about feeling small and insignificant. But it was a moment when I could actually feel the fearsome power of God. Something I’ll not forget ever.
!!!…and as if to make my point in a visual way, I’ve just seen on Gerard Vanderleun’s American Digest a very short video
“SOMETHING WONDERFUL: THE COSMIC EYE”
The size of us relative to the universe. Coincidence I should see it after my reply to you, Levi? Something tells me not.
Thanks… and the same Blessings to you, Levi.
Just last night I delighted in the look, smell, juices and taste of watermelon. Yes, watermelon!
-Our Lord is so generous;
in even the smallest of things.
Amen, Patience. How can one not take delight in watermelon? Indeed, the simple things, the little things are SO worth noticing and appreciating.
God bless!
Mmm, watermelon. Insert Homer Simpson drooling.
Good morning, Patience💖…I’ve always felt the smallest things and blessings afford the greatest joys. A lot of my memories from long ago are tied up in watermelon, a metaphor really for simpler times.
Betsy, I love your posts. You are full of peaceful and loving wisdom!
I’m talking to friends, AG.🤗 As if face to face, heart to heart….and that makes it so easy.🌷
Good Morning Levi, greetings from the Navajo Nation in beautiful Monument Valley U.S.A.! Thank you for reminding us how beautiful life is! My husband and I are traveling in our Class A RV and we saw the sun rise near Totem Pole yesterday morning on a tour with our Navajo guide, it was Magnificent! God is good, and I love him so very much! Best regards, Melissa
Morning Melissa. What a beautiful sight and outstanding travel opportunity. Hard not to be envious from afar and impossible, I am certain, not to feel blessed for the experience itself.
Thanks for sharing. Yes, God is good. Stay safe and continue to enjoy. Cheers!
What a difference a day makes.
On Monday, I came to ER with chest pains and on Tuesday I had a heart cath, a stent put in a 90% block and the doctor said there was more. I could be here through the weekend.
On Wednesday, I had an echo and they could find no serious damage. I have had no chest pain or discomfort since Monday and none of the tests show a need to keep me.
Today, they are sending me home.
The doctor seemed a bit mystified. Not me. I know God is good and answers prayers. Many of those were the prayers of my friends here.
Thanks to all.
Praise the Lord my friend,and be blessed.Great news! 🙂
What beautiful news to share with us. Congrats VM and THANK GOD. Prayers of thanks to follow.
Go home. Take it easy. God bless. Hug someone you love.
Glory to God, VibeMan!! All glory to Him, the Great Healer. Such splendid joyous news.🙏 I am just thrilled for you. Nothing mysterious at all. Wonderful!
VibeMan, praise the Lord, and thank you for sharing the good news!
Glory to the Triune God.
And thanks to Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco (+ 1966) for his holy prayers.

Happy news!
God bless!
VM, Solomon wanted to make sure that you got his message from yesterday about Hawthorne extract. Also, mentioned Acetyl l-Carnitine and CoQ10.
I’m storing that info for if…please thank Solomon for me, G🙏💖
I certainly will, Bet. 💗
God works in mysterious ways. Sounds like a miracle, to me! God bless you!
That is wonderful news, VM. Praise the Lord for prayers answered. Prayers for your continued recovery. Thank you God for watching over our friend.
So glad to hear vibeman!
Rest up!
He never ceases to amaze.

Morning, ms Idaho. Hoping your day is full of diamonds.🤗🙏
Have a Beautiful Morning Betsy
I keep sorting thru the stones. May have found one I missed.
I am going to add drops I have used off and on for several years – called Can-C – to my daily routine. It was originally promoted for cataracts – with its most popular following among dog owners.
If you are worried about cataracts for you or your ‘best friend’, heres the website with more info: WiseChoiceMedicine.com
I had my cataracts replaced, so I put the drops at the back of my fridge and forgot about them. Now I am going after the increased pressure in my eyes – and of course, the hope that I can stop the progression of dry macular.
Whether they will help (nothing else has) since the increase in pressure is due to gene therapy, remains to be be seen. Might take 3 to 6 months. But then, what do I have to lose?
Nothing to lose. I left a small note last night about Ferrum phos 6 as a potential help, as some with cataracts have found it extremely efficacious. Hyland’s is the brand.
It seems to be good for all sorts of conditions, but those who testified about its particular effects on clearing up cloudiness after lenses transplants and cataract surgery were amazing. Thought you’d be interested in pursuing info on it.
There may be nothing in it for what you are experiencing. Nevertheless I pass it on since there many off use drugs which are found effective for other things. Available I believe at supplement stores and I know on Amazon. 🌷💖
thanks for the recommendation. a quick scan of info I can find to read suggests that so much of what it offers is already covered by other ‘stuff’ I take. will keep a note on it tho….
There was always that chance…and I knew you’d know quickly if there was any merit in it.
its not really a question of whether or not there is merit in the product. for some people it is probably very helpful.
over the years I have tried various ‘salts’ with limited success vs nutritional supplements I know more about.
I am also planning to change my daily routine to focus on ‘current problems’ vs overall anti aging supplements. Yup – more research. Ha
You go girl!!!!👍

Hi everyone 🙋♀️
Thought someone would smile…….
So I’ve been sitting around(not really landscaping grounds full time job), salivating over a real new commercial wood chipper. 6” diameter capacity…girl toy!!!!(note to self…..pull gold out first-kidding!!)….staring outside at all I could do with it. Kinda like staring at a beautiful dress in a store…..delivery by July 9th!!!! Yay team feral!!!!!!
Imagine someone going out on a date with me!!!!! 😂 😂 😂 😂
Okay…sorry, slinking back to forest……….
Forgit, yesterday I gave myself a black eye getting partial 50’ tree off of my cabin, the day prior, kicked my trucks mechanic in the butt, got mower back and did 15 acres, weed whacked plus other unmentionables 😂 😂 so far, a good week, don’t you think? 😂 😝
You sound like my sister in law and her driving partner (carriages) in Wales.
For decades they have tended a massive property, complete with their water source…a fast flowing stream which in the brutal cold freezes over so that they have to put on their wellies and climb in to free the pipe from the ice which has formed. They have horses, of course, which can’t be ignored, even when the weather turns nasty (which it does). They converted old stables into two self contained flats to rent out, my husband doing most of the work…electrical, building, tiling, plumbing, etc. They also maintain their vehicles when something goes wrong as best they can. They’d have been called “Land Girls” during WWII.
Mind they were in their 50s when they were able to do all this, and now in their 80s, still keep their hand in with the help of a very good man who travels from far away when they just can’t manage.
I know the back breaking effort it takes to keep a place running and in good shape, Cat.
I admire you for your efforts. Just don’t wear yourself out doing it. Though I must say, all that work most likely keeps you occupied, which I suspect is no bad thing. Blessings to you as always.
Can Santa get a wood chipper down your chimney??😉😘🙏
Cat, you’ve been keeping real busy. Giving me a run for my money but it’s so hot here that I have a couple of hours in the morning and that’s it.
Ditto…..
Hey pop? Notice you’re the only man to chime in on my talents? You’re truly above the fray. Some admire, some disrupted by my capabilities 😂
I envy your ability to call a rest period due to weather 😉
Don’t run out of Foxicles on a warm day.
If you are up early Friday morning…
