We can shine it on ourselves from five to eight PM every night and maybe feel better.<br /><br />That anyone would pair their dog with that gorgeous song creeps me out. Did you at least listen to the song? Isn't it lovely?<br /><br />Oh, the honeycrisp! My favourite apple of all. It's so snappy and juicy. St. Patsy eschews it as a Dessert Apple, and her heart belongs to the Golden Delicious, but I'm a honeycrisp girl.<br /><br />Silliyak--No thank you. The War On Christmas is something entirely different, drummed up by frustrated Christians. I've addressed it before, much earlier in my Blogging Days. I called out the Christians the year Christmas fell on a Sunday, and they all closed their churches so that their members could celebrate at home with their families! Bunch of hypocrites.<br /><br />fauxprof--Like your dogs, my cats have to transition, and Piper especially has a tough time because he is a Food Addict. <br /><br />I have a tough time with Clementines and Cuties. I always seem to get the box that is halfway rotten, and the fruit with the most seeds. Rick is not a big fruit-eater, so I cannot keep up.<br /><br />You and Bug both love the little tangerines! Maybe I'll try again.<br /><br />J@jj--I love anything by Simon and Garfunkel. Their lyrics are intelligent and, in many cases, profoundly beautiful. Old Friends/ Bookends has very simple lyrics but is really very complete and has such depth. The musical section at the end adds such meaning as well. They were an incredible duo.<br /><br />Thank you for mentioning them. Today is to be a rainy day, and I will be able to listen to them as I putter around the house this afternoon.<br /><br />Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-24773839744824643242014-11-05T21:38:31.572-05:002014-11-05T21:38:31.572-05:00Funny you should mention the farm stand - I sent M...Funny you should mention the farm stand - I sent Mike to ours today in the feeble hope there would still be SOMETHING there (I have to take a veggie tray to work on Friday). Alas, he just came home with bell peppers & a few honeycrisp apples. So I'll be off to the Kroger to get some non-local stuff to supplement it.<br /><br />I watched that video - and the dog is hysterical - ha!<br /><br />I wonder if there will ever come a time when I'm not salty about the return to standard time?

I'm also a cocooner, and actually enjoy the dark mornings in a bright, cozy kitchen.<br /><br />The end of fresh, locovore produce is somewhat offset by the seasonal return of clementines. I'm addicted to the things.fauxprofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517754643773601799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-121927311483783192014-11-05T19:53:39.217-05:002014-11-05T19:53:39.217-05:00I'm glad you're coming to terms with all o...I'm glad you're coming to terms with all of this and that you've learned to turn the frown upside down by getting it all out here on the blog.<br /><br />My favorite song that mentions months by name is "April Come She Will", by S&G. It gives up before November, though, perhaps understanding that a love grown old by September would most certainly be DEAD by November.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.com
