PTSD.<br /><br />Mary I hope the oil spill did not somehow impact the poor froggies.<br /><br />Jane, the plants know something!!!<br /><br />Sally, hooray for that day beloved by grammies everwhere: First Day of School!<br /><br />H&H, earthquakes are indeed sad for those hurt in them. And the poor animals, too. <br /><br />Carmen, Indian lore says every 21st winter is a bad one, with each 7th winter leading up to it also bad. Mayhap this 4th one will not be bad?<br /><br />AC, I'm sure our "severe" winters would be laughed at in Canada. "Ha ha eh! They call that bad, eh???" I don't like it below 55 personally. AT 50 degrees we rush to the store to buy a sweatshirt to wear and a fake log to burn.Holly, the Old Western Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046366762069644586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266423967824956377.post-26092816539494195532010-08-18T07:47:30.749-05:002010-08-18T07:47:30.749-05:00I trust gut feelings, and, I trust your gut, espec...I trust gut feelings, and, I trust your gut, especially.<br />It has indeed been a very odd summer.

The cicadas have been singing here for months - for awhile there rather loud! We've had loads of rain here lately from that tropical storm. I have missed the frogs that used to come bug eating at my back door every evening.

Obama was in town and apparently someone flew into the "no fly" zone. So jets were ordered to scramble and we ended up with a couple of ground shaking "boom booms"! It took us three hours to drive down to Portland today. It took those jets MINUTES to fly from Portland to Seattle! Ahhh...fun!OldeAnniePrimitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206488527162301389noreply@blogger.com
