Yes it is a little hard to see the items, but now that ya' said so I see the artichoke clearly! That is a neat shot!!!

Yes I am looking forward to tranquility in my later years ah-h-h-h just kicked back and relaxed!!! I am wondering if we have a small farm if that will be possible..I have spent the last 4 days chasing our "Rogue Rooster" that got away on Sun. by playing possum; and we have been trying to get him back into the coup every since!!! LOL We actually got him into the coup Sun. evening but the very moment he went in another big ole' bird attacked him and chased him away as fast as could be, then when we called it came back, but not before turning around and blessing that "Rouge Rooster" out good and proper, I wish you could have heard that clucking coming out of that bird!!! It was comical, the "Rogue Rooster" stayed away for the rest of the night and next day. Then on Tues morn when I walked Zeke he flushed "Rogue Rooster" out of the woods and I spotted him so decided to feed him and try and get him to come on home, mistake #404!!! Now he's hanging around getting in my garden, and tearing it up, then lurking around outside the coup (NOW THE OTHER CHICKENS ARE HAPPY AND CONTENT AND I CAN GO IN TO FEED THEM IN PEACE) and he wants back in but will not hang around long enough to let us guide him back in, plus the other chickens don't want him back in so we have a small dilema on our hands. And I am thinking farm animals and farm life could be less tranquil that I imagine!

I don't crave anything in the middle of the night - but if I have cheesecake, cannolis or eclairs in the fridge - they call out my name and we party!

LOL.................

I try not to eat at night. It makes the acid reflux act up but sometimes I cant help myself. I just chase down my midnight snack with a prilosec lol.

damn mama! I wish I lived across the way from you! I'd look out the window and if ever I saw your refrigerator light glowing after-hours I'd be traipsin' across the street and down the back alley-way in my pajamas and rappin' on your back door with a fork and a jug o' cold milk! Cheesecake at 4:00AM is such a guilty pleasure!

(Cathy- COOL new Thursday avatar! Pink paint and palm trees- I LIKE! the natives in remote Alaska use awesome bright colors to paint their l'il cabins and shantys... really adds life to the gray winter landscape! One sees some never-before seen home colors up there! Let me see if I can find a pic to scan..)
