In a previous post, I talked about Monarch butterflies, and the messages they deliver. This butterfly flew toward our truck, and then the Hearse, as if it were relaying a message of love and comfort.

http://oklahomatransient.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 31, 2014. Friday, Saturday, and the Mention of Monday. Friday night, Bulldog Man and I headed to Wal-Mart in town to pick up some crank bait for fishing early Saturday morning. The clouds were very vibrant and building east of the store, and I thought I would share the pictures with you. Saturday morning, we were up at 4:00AM, the truck was loaded with our fishing gear; I just finished toasting some nice raisin bread to enjoy on the ride down to the Lake of the Arbuckles, with our coffee.

Every day brings a new challenge and adventure. and not necessarily in that order. Friday, January 30, 2015. The other day was our big shopping day. We headed out to pick up feed, household items and some grocery. Even a a couple of stops at the thrift store and a craft/fabric store. Nothing special about the trip but I did make some observations while out. If you're on my list, you're getting homemade! So get over it.) :-).

The Urge To Preserve - Musings of a life long learner: Hazards of Citrus in Zone 9a

http://www.theurgetopreserve.com/2012/09/hazards-of-citrus-in-zone-9a.html

Saturday, September 15, 2012. Hazards of Citrus in Zone 9a. Here begins my tale of woe. Last winter I noticed that one of the kumquats started to look all wilty and sad. And, very sad it was due to an infestation of a nasty bug that loves citrus! After an internet search and much digging I discovered that the nasty bug had a name, Cottony Cushion Scale, scientific name Icerya purchasi. From the University of California Intregreted Pest Management (UCIPM) website I learned:. Gross but apparently effective!

Monday, April 22, 2013. Quite . . . I found some quite clever aprons on Pinterest. Not a surprise, I'm sure. Quite Clever Pinterest Apron - Redoux of a man's shirt. I was quite captivated with the concept and wanted to make one - which turned into "some". So, off to the thrift store(s) I went to purchase the necessary materials - men's shirts. After a couple of trips to my favorite haunts, I had quite a few in different colors. Which makes me quite happy! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 2012-2013 The...

http://www.theurgetopreserve.com/2014/03/theyre-back-revisiting-citrus-cottony.html

Thursday, March 6, 2014. Revisiting Citrus Cottony Cushion Scale. In a post back in September 2012 I described my battle with the Citrus Cottony Cushion Scale on my container citrus. They are a very destructive citrus pest, one I thought I had beaten. Not so! I think these photos are pretty graphic and amazing! Here you can see the Farmer Ants working their Scale! The scale themselves are not really this big. The greater part of what you see is the egg sack. Citrus Cottony Cushion Scale. Way off the grid.

http://www.theurgetopreserve.com/2013/04/pig-project.html

Thursday, April 18, 2013. By my daughter, through her eyes, as written for her English class. At the time my son was 11 and Lauren was 14 years old. Miss Piggy, Colin's 4-H swine project 2006. Now small children in small green 4-H hats milled around the show ring. Camcorders in hand, parents gleefully watched their children and crossed their fingers that they wouldn't mess up. Colin is his 4-H attire after showing Miss Piggy. This was an amazing experience for everyone in the pavilion. The crowd was ...

Monday, June 17, 2013. Uncle Sam Expects . . . Chickens. Photo Credit - Meyer Hatchery. This historic poster is as true. Almost 100 years ago - it reads:. Two Hens in the Back Yard for Each Person in the House. Will Keep a Family in Fresh Eggs. An interested child, old enough to take a little responsibility, can care for a few fowls as well as a grown person. Every backyard in the United States should contribute its share to a bumper crop of poultry and eggs in 1918. In Time of War a Patriotic Duty.
