" Lilly was spayed two weeks ago and was put in a doggie onesie instead of the terrible cone of shame."

 "She had a vet visit last week and was cleared to take it off, now to get her into some dog training classes for manners!"

Thank you, foxhat. Will always share photos of Lilly. She is a good ol girl. Send pics of those homemade pickles.

HOMEMADE GRANOLA

My wife made another batch of homemade granola and I could not resist a few pinches of the warm crunch. All healthy ingredients and she can put together a batch and bake in seemingly a few minutes. 

Helps me when I experience low blood coming on. If I take a spoonful along with a glass of water, the blood sugar problem does not occur. Much healthier than a Snickers bar. A small container is kept in the car helping eliminate low blood sugar issues on road trips.

SAUSAGE ON A STICK

Healthy? 

Nope and I would be afraid to know how they make these. These are found at our local gas stations/restaurants/quick stops. Much like a bag of Frito's or a corn dog, our body systems take complete control of us from time to time and we succumb to these kinds of treats. 

We enjoy eating these in the car on the way home, but have learned that they "pop" when bitten into and the dripping grease cannot be contained. These are safe to eat when plated and cut into small pieces with a very sharp knife. Pulling the stick is also accompanied by a flow of grease similar to that of the first gush of oil during an automobile oil change. Dipped in a large glob of mustard is mandatory.

Sausage on a stick was one of our first discoveries arriving in East Texas 5 years ago. One bite and we knew we were home!

 FLOWERING PAMPAS GRASS

 

These plants make an excellent dividing hedge row. Survive just fine in the summer heat. Sharp, long leaves require gloves while trimming.

JIBBER JABBER

Awhile has passed since posting. I have been lax and gone somewhat quiet on the net. There is no reason or underlying unhappiness here. I would be working harder today to explain and anything I have to work at these days pass as quickly as a Texas rain storm. Even trying to further explain to hear myself write out loud does not help. So best to move on, get a quick post out for proof of life.

I appreciate your visit this week.
