Light Power
That image above is the northern band of our MilkyWay galaxy, from John P. Gleason of Celestial Images. "kinda makes ya feel sort of insignificant, doesn't it?......can we have your liver then!?"
Didn't find the witty fracking song? CLick and dig it, and then don't sell your mineral rights for money over clean water, "cause no amount of money/and no amount of man/can bring to life/what's gone when it's done...." - Michael Franti and Spearhead
Summertime has been blasting us with solar radiation. Rain is welcome and makes garden(er) happy. Pond is used often. River when not at home. Water and light, so nice.
The whirlwind of activity in my life is not subsiding. I am only blogging now because working outside all day has left me chapped and zapped. Lame for not keeping up with it more, yuppers!
Esty celebrated 'Merkah's B'day in Thomas and dug it for about five (5) minutes...before launching into a shrill shrieking fit that curdled the gallon of milk I was drinking. Pobre cita! Such delicate little eardrums and so little understanding of what was really going on...reminds me of the Ani DiFranco song (Independence Day):
"we drove the car to the top of the parking ramp
on the 4th of july
we sat out on the hood with a couple of warm beers and watched the fireworks
explode in the sky
and there was an exodus of birds from the trees
but they didnt know, we were only pretending
and the people all looked up, and were pleased
and the birds flew around like the whole world was ending
and i don't think war is noble
and i don't like to think that love is like war
and i gotta big hot cherry bomb, and i want to slip it through the mail slot
of your front door"
The song goes on....you get the point. My little love bird didn't know that it was all for fun. Freedom fun.

Oh my sweet little sugar snap pea, how I do love thee!!!

Padre Day Numero Uno
Big thanks to Ma 'n Pa for a scrumptious brunch to celebrate Dad's. It was oddly attended by some notorious non-Dad's (mainly Gary B.), which really took the edge off.
Estoria enjoyed Father's Day to the fullest by playing in the rain. Fine with me. Natural West Virginia bath right there buddy!
Don't call CPS, we got her dry and inside before any chance of hypothermia could set in.
"Now if only I could figure out how to get off this porch and dash into the wilderness..."
Evermore proving her love of water and its ability to make a mess, she takes her Mom's bike sock and proceeds to do some art on the floor. I should give her paint and see what she makes...we'll write you a check soon.

I can see clearly now....
...the mountains are gone.
This is necessary. This is informative. This is real.
Ever notice that the "skeptics" on climate change often have links to the very entities that help produce a rapidly warming planet? Oil, agriculture, energy. Them damn politicians are bought and sold, and while the climate changes, the bullshit rhetoric and deep denial does not. Ah well, I guess we need complete flippin' ignoramus' in the world...so that one can learn how to better communicate! Grist linked me into USA Today's editorial on just how dang stubborn these deniers really are (it's a short read). Head meet sand...oh, you've met?
And this is even more real:
Saving Blair Mountain from Jay Mallin on Vimeo.
Blair Mountain was the site of a huge, if not the largest, civil uprising after the Civil War (wiki wiki!). We're talking pissed off miners with weapons that skirmish with coal company thugs and eventually the US Army, who actually flew Martin MB-1 planes over multiple towns and dropped left-over bombs from WWI. Are you listening? Shooting and bombing people (the people working to make those bastards rich) who want fair wages and to get out of the trap that was scrip set up by the company store. Our government, "for the people," was busy kissing coal's ass a long time ago...and it hasn't changed much. But the March on Blair Mountain could be the little push that snow ball needed....let it hit you in the face and make you think, act, feel.
On the gardening front, I've come across a handy website explaining just what may be in that compost you just bought at Lowes. Some of it is harmless and some of it can be a bit more dangerous. Speaking of big box stores like Lowes, if you are going to buy plants there perhaps you would like to buy organically grown veggies, herbs, and flowers from yours truly. The Inter-Mountain just ran a nice article on what's happening around the county (that's me with the Green Rivers hat and the crappy display...help wanted). Don't worry. Local is cool again.

Wet wet wet; hot hot hot.
Extremes in weather are tricky to roll with. When it rains, it pours. When it doesn't, it really doesn't. What's that? We may get some thunder showers today? We'll take it.
