The nature of the beast

This little guy is suffering walking around on this hot asphalt.
I thought about picking him up and moving him, but he would just sting me(nature of the beast) and die anyway.
No sense in us both suffering.

Straight up country

PB and I don't live on a farm, but we do have one.
12 chickens and a garden that is being planted as we speak.
Broccoli and brussel sprouts going in the ground for the fall.
100 plants! Not bad for a home on a half acre of land.
This morning, for breakfast I got some eggs out of the bucket, cleaned them off and cooked some breakfast.
Do you see this egg? That you can only get straight from the chicken. Dark yellow, almost orange yolk. Rich and so much flavor it will make your taste buds pop!
That my friends, is a farm fresh egg.
No pale yellow yolks full of hormones and anti-biotics.
If you ever get the chance, you have to try an egg straight from the chicken, they are awesome!

Things I like about the new IOS

Ok, I admit it, I have been posting all kinds of things about new iPad apps, and completely forgot I could take screen shots to show you what the heck I was talking about.
I've had coffee since then and am now back in control!
And for those " not in the know" hold your sleep button and your home button at the same time and wala! screenshot!
Works something like this....

The first change I really like is the fact that they have gotten away from Google maps. Sorry Google, still love ya, but you're getting a little "boggy".
I understand Google is an advertising based company, but it's gotten so much that they are bogging down.
Plus this map does a 3D version. Too cute!


Podcasts! Now they have moved all your podcasts into one little neat area. All by themselves, where they don't even have to look at your music, if they don't want to.


iTunes U
I thought this was a great little addition to the new iOS. It has the look and feel of iBooks but you can search their, this surprised me, extensive library of free, yeup, free courses.
Just taking a quick glance through, I noticed "Learn Spanish","College Calculus" ( which seems useless to me, tho I am sure someone, somewhere would like to learn more than 2 plus 2).

Another, damn! What a great idea, Find Iphone
You log in with your apple id and password, it picks up your iPad or iPhone and "locates" them and shows you a map of where they are. It also allows you to wipe your iPad if you catch that thing going into a bar with some strange iPhone that isn't your shade of red. ;0)


And my absolute favorite! Find Friends
This app allows you to invite your friends to allow you to stalk the hell out of them!
It's awesome!
I watched DD#1 driving down the interstate yesterday.
Of course it sent me straight to panic mode when her "signal" stopped in the middle of the interstate for ten minutes.
Yeah,"mom you have to allow for lag time" "oh, so your not wrecked on the side if the interstate then?" "Um, Mom, turn that thing off, it's making you paranoid" "fine!"
Anyway..... You can't stalk ex lovers or the judge who gave you community service with it, if that's what you're thinking. Someone has to accept your request before you can thoroughly stalk their every move!

Well that's my un-techy list of what I like about the new iOS.
Pictures and all this time!

I saw the sun!

Isaac just will not go away!
He came back down, brought us some more rain (cause we were kinda dry) and is trying to reform in the Gulf as a depression.
They say it won't come back our way, but jeeze Louise!
I did finally find some sun, and only a few clouds this morning.

Isaac

I'm just gonna hang out here, wait for the storm to pass!

Feeder Bands

This is how the feeder bands roll in.
Cloudy, wet and windy one minute.
Blue skies and high humidity the next.

One Cloud

Just floating around out there by itself.
It literally is the only cloud in the sky.

Good Morning!

We are finally getting some sunshine here on the Gulf Coast!
Not that I'm complaining about the rain after last years drought, but it's still nice to see the sun every once in a while.

New tattoo

Desire's friend came over and inked me ;0)
It looked really good all lined out, but colored in it looks great!
The hearts have the grandbrats initials in them, ITITT.
Brat #1 says since I have them in hearts it looks like it says I "heart" titts! Roflmao!
I didn't name those kids so it is what it is!
I love it!

What is it?

We stared at this thing thru three dead stops in the interstate!

Summer fun

It was wonderfully cool for about a minute this morning.
By nine it was hot, by eleven it was too hot not to be in the pool.
So the grand brats and I are hanging out in the water today.
Judging by their energy level, it's going to be an all day affair!

Another loud, cloudy morning

I woke up before sunrise to the thunder rolling through the neighborhood. Once again another cloudy rainy day.
You won't here me complain tho, for many reasons
1. I don't have to cut the grass today
2. A year ago we were in such a bad drought that I bet all this rain still hasn't touched the water table
3. I don't have to cut the grass today
4. The clouds are definitely helping with this 95 degree weather we have had lately
5. I don't have to cut the grass today

Skies over Pascagoula

We were running more than a little late this morning for work. For some reason neither one of us wanted to get out of bed. I know I hit the snooze at least seven times.
When we did finally make it to Pascagoula this morning, the sky was lit up with rays beaming through the clouds.
I wish my camera had caught the rays, but either way, the pictures look great!
