If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Sonnet XVIII


Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
   So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
   So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
~William Shakespeare~

Favorite dish from my sister:

Canned tomatoes, sliced, Olive oil above and below, sprinkled
with sea salt and basil.  Smoked on the grill several hours or in
the oven at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
  Turn occasionally. 

Candied Tomato Slices

Beat One Egg...

One egg crepe.

Filling is whatever is on hand.  I used candied tomatoes,

 chopped spinach and Parmesan Cheese.

Also very good with fresh basil and crab.

                                                                                                     

If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. 
Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut."

Saturday Multi-tasking.
On the way to the gym on Saturday morning we picked up this piece
of pipe at the shop in town, and also part of a tree that had blown down.
 We needed a red flag and didn't have one.  Yellow caution tape and orange spray paint did the trick.




                                                                              


 Also burned ditches...what a nice day...and worked on putting in plumbing for a washer and dryer at the rental...he's so productive!

THE SILENT TREATMENT

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.

Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.

The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.

The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

Organizing is what you do before you do something,
so that when you do it, it isn't all mixed up.

Jerry thought this looked like something 
unmentionable, not unmentionable to him, but
unmentionable to me.  He was pleasantly surprised
 when he tasted it. :)
