One Hot June-July





It is tough watching things dry up, the green pepper that is rubbery from lack of water, the cilantro bolted earlier than normal, and the worst bit...the Japanese Beetles have struck again.  They eat the roses, the hollyhocks, and the rhubarb!  The little worms i.e. leaf rollers have rolled every Red Bud Tree leaf within a ten mile radius....is there no end. My horses just plain look like saying 'will this never end'.  Their treat for the day is the cold water in the evening and the hosing that comes along with it!  Speaking of horses....the latest Gypsy Vanner filly to be born here has just been dubbed "CHF Shady Lady"!  She is lovely and so friendly.  She has been handled alot so she thinks she is one of us....OR, we are like her!

Thoughts on "1984"

George Orwell's 1984 is strangely prophetic.  Think about "Newspeak"....changing our language in such a way as to allow untruth to be truth.  To deviate is to risk huge personal punishment....think about it.  Already we have a class of individuals who can use inappropriate language and not be chastised or reprimanded; whereas, another not sharing the sympathies will be persecuted to the highest possible degree regardless of humble admissions of impropriety.  Just consider today.
