Here I am gardening this weekend. I’m bringing in my more fragile plants and keeping my fingers crossed for my outdoor plants. It’s starting to get chilly out here. The days have just been overcast and cold. I wouldn’t mind it if it would just rain a little too. But so far there hasn’t been…

Fast Food Thanksgiving?
I driving past a Kentucky Fried Chicken the other day and I was instantly repulsed. For once I wasn’t disgusted by the sickening smell of fat burning. I wasn’t even disgusted by the image of the meals in bowl (potatoes with a layer of gravy, followed by corn and gravy, and then swirled with chicken).…
