Today was hot bright and sunny so I spent my day pulling weeds from the front of the house. Right now it looks like Sleeping Brauty's after 100 years of sleep! ;)Grannymarhttp://grannymar.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-67649095564317119462011-06-02T11:29:46.803-02:302011-06-02T11:29:46.803-02:30Nora:

I hope they find enough food.I'm also happy that no one is hunting them there. <br /><br />Why are you eating shrimp from Taiwan? What happens to your shrimp?

I would tend to them like a granny, gloating to my friends as to what I had been allowed to do. Forget-me-nots have been so special since.

I would love to get me a goat. I see more and more of them out here chomping on the grass. Someone should start a goat cheese business but the rules and regs are so vicious. and I couldn't murder one at the end of the summer. Oh boy. Not there yet.<br />I find myself thinking about the whales, will do a post if news is good.
