Rain Rain , go away, don't come back for at least a week???? or more. :)

This is the mess in my yard/parking area,,, due to all the rain the last couple months and oh yes the big snow that the weather people misdiagnosed. Got up to go to work yesterday and bam,,, forgot about the front wheel drive on the newer Buzzard, oops Honda. I've been parking here for 15 years with no trouble.  Just what i wanted to do at 4:40 in the morning, ON A MONDAY.  In the Dark.
UnStick the Buzzard/Honda. SURE am glad for motion lights.

PS, please forgive the nasty mess and the greenhouse that needs a new cover. OH and the large River Birch limb, another causality of rain and storms.

Silver lining, i did get it out without using my truck (probably would have been stuck too) and made it to work with time to spare. Early bird gets the DROWNED worm.

seeya.

Clinton Rocks,,,

Literally ,,,

They now have a Facebook page, dedicated to painting and hiding rocks around Clinton, mostly in Ole Town and Nature center, etc. Started for the kids I think, but of course ADULTS have joined in and some of the rock painting is out of this world.
I've always collected rocks, so I may have to join in. I must since I have found and kept 3 myself.
I do plan on re hiding a couple of them when the time is right.

Re-hiding and painting is part of the laid back rules. If you find and keep, YOU SHOULD paint and hide even more.

Leave tips on Facebook as to where they may be hidden, especially some of the more elaborate rocks that a few reallly decent artist have painted and hidden. ALTHOUGH, not sure i would call all of them rocks, some are pavers, with whole scenes painted etc.

POST YOUR FINDS on Facebook, people love to see their rocks being shared and re-hidden.

OK, some of the painting , drawings are done with Oil Base sharpies, I think I am headed that direction. Just got to find some at a decent price.

I don't exactly live in Clinton now, a bit expensive, but I am just outside of Clinton and I DID GROW UP there, so I am going to participate.

several years ago, a friend of mine was painting masterpiece animals on rocks and i did do one and still have it, must add the picture to this post.

but for now, here are the 3 I have found. I haven't found any of the larger pieces but I haven't really tried either.

PS, WJTV even did a short clip with one of the local artist a couple weeks ago.

Mexican street corn in a cup and Snappers in January

no, the two don't mix, at least this time of year, but we had a warm patch of weather and a snapper came out to catch a few rays. I got a bit worried about him as he didn't move all day, but about 5PM , back into hibernation.



Mexican Street Corn in a cup, because on the cob is too much trouble. Still working on the recipe, but its very addicting, but then I love corn, at least if it doesn't come out of a can.
