Switching Drawers.

 Switching Drawers.

 

The glass lids to Corningware, the glass lid to a deep-frying pan, the glass lid to a new cooking pot all got placed in a nicely cleaned middle drawer of my cabinet today. These lids are hardly ever used and don’t need to be easily grabbed. The cup towels, oven mittens, and dish cloths, on the other hand, are now in the right-hand side of the cabinet. The oven mitts may get put in the top drawer eventually on the left side nearer to the stove, but that can wait a bit. The egg spilled down the side of the stove and onto the dishwasher needed to be cleaned up first. Sigh.

 

In great news of the day, sat down in the bathroom this morning and my right knee gave an interesting pop. It stopped hurting. Sure, my leg is still sore, but being able to walk without limping makes me feel better altogether! Have no idea what made it sore in the first place and have no idea what part popped back where it should be, but praise the Lord!

 

Went down to see Patty this morning and had hardly sat down with her when Thompson showed up! This evening the fence line will have to be walked. Wondering if a section is loose down on the side near the Speegle’s place. Wherever it is, it has to be alleviated today!! Don’t want something to happen to my dog! Patty was afraid that Roxy would attack Thompson and get eaten! Don’t think he would do more than smell of her, but he might nip back if she bit him.

 

United had the pork chops and boneless chicken breasts on sale for a dollar a pound again yesterday. Bought some chicken, of course, and thought about going back for more to put in the freezer. They only have these sales every so often. And the chicken, at least, never lasts long. If the fence line did not need to be walked this evening, would go back for more squawker to put in the freezer.

 

Years ago, Gene Stratton-Porter wrote about the almost swamp-like waters of the Limberlost. Today, a scary article came out about the waters of Indianna.

“Wetlands also filter, clean, and restock underground aquifers. Given that 70% of Indiana's residents rely on these aquifers for their drinking water, this is no small factor to consider, the Chronicle reported.”

“Unfortunately, Indiana had already lost more than 85% of its wetlands in the last century, per IndyStar, and this bill is projected to continue that trajectory.” 

Obviously, the famous author of Girl of the Limberlost would not recognize the state today, but that is true for many of our states. Our population has increased drastically as well as the highway systems that take people all over the country. Just the fires alone have given us reasons to take a step back and look at what we are doing to our countryside. And we won’t even begin to discuss the latest oil tanker disaster!! This earth is the only one we have. God gave us the best, but we need to care for it with more diligence.

 

Meanwhile, in the city of dunces and deuces, “Asked by lawmakers if the FBI knew where all eight bullets fired by shooter Thomas Crooks at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Mr Wray added: “There is some question about whether or not it was a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear, so it is conceivable, as I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else.”

If you know anything about trajectory when firing a gun, one would assume that the bullet that grazed one ear is the same one that killed the former fire fighter. It definitely was not a mosquito. Of course, the Secret Service is not in the mosquito fighting business either. Apparently, the former president still matters to God.

 

Will try not to write too much more today as at least one reader has mentioned that the old woman seems to get long-winded at times. Such is life.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
