If you’re like me, you’re ready to scream because of the 24/7 fear, panic and everything else you’re seeing on the news and internet. So here’s some photos to distract you. Well, if my internet connection stays up, that is. It’s been down a half dozen times already today.
Yes, it’s a dead horse. No, not a real one. This was a tourist trap in S.D. that we stopped at that apparently bought up all of the movie props from Dances with Wolves. Although I don’t remember there being a stuffed dead horse in that movie.Skunks in S.D. are very friendly, it seems. This little stinker wasn’t much more than a baby and decided I was his mother and began following me around. He couldn’t understand why I retreated very quickly.Ooo, it’s orange!We found some odd things when we cleaned out the buildings on the farm, including a complete 1940s or 1950s era bowling machine.I had no idea eggplant flowers were so pretty until we grew some one year.I don’t need to tell you these are cats, do I?The big telescope and its little brotherOverlooking the MississippiDorms at my old college.Copper Falls park in north western Wisconsin. Beautiful place. Highly recommended. Somewhere in the Big Horn mountains. I think.
That’s enough for now. I’m pushing my luck with my internet connection here, I think. It went down three times while I was uploading photos.
Yes, I'm a former farmer. Sort of. I'm also an amateur radio operator, amateur astronomer, gardener, maker of furniture, photographer.

I watch an indoor plant channel on youtube (voodoo garden) and this winter he grew quite a bit of food in a basement room with no windows and only grow lights. Including an eggplant. He just showed the flowers last week. I had no idea there were flowers on eggplant plants, but then of course they do. It’s lovely how the obvious can be a bit of fresh news when we find it.
Eggplant flowers are beautiful. I like them better than the eggplants.
Here’s one I’ve become addicted to. He has a live camera aimed at his bird feeders streaming 24 hrs a day. A bit dull at night but during the daylight hours it’s great fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNYDhlAYmgg
