Dug New Potatoes Today…

What I will have for lunch today…

I was going to dig up several potato plants today. I simply love new potatoes and wanted to get a few for eating with turnips. The turnips are the perfect size and definitely ready to harvest, but I stopped at one potato plant; twenty one small to medium potatoes off of one scraggly plant. 21…

I finished shelling the last of the peas, cleaned three nice turnips, and received as a blessing 21 potatoes. I nosed around and saw that all the plants are this way. We have a bountiful potatoes harvest coming…

Today is garden tasty day. I will slice the turnips and potatoes to fry in a skillet, with slices of salo cooked for the grease. Then add a fresh farm egg from Vova to stir together; then take the peas and add Caesar dressing to them. Then I will have a healthy lunch… Everything in moderation and lots of fresh well water to wash it down…

Tonight I will harvest the rest of the turnips and allow the rutabagas and beets to keep growing. I eat carrots just raw and fresh from the garden. What a wonderful day it is. Hot, but with homegrown food, it is plain alright…

I am thankful and just wish Svetochka could be here to eat this wonderful meal with me. But she will have plenty, for we will have lots to store for the winter…

Have a good day…

Silence is sometimes important and sometimes not…

Coffee-iconWe need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls. – Mother Teresa

The term God is what you make of it. Many have turned from this term called God! Many scoff at the idea that there is a God. Many, many more than we look around and see and acknowledge, have lost the way of God. God is what you make of him, it, them and or the idea…

I am a very scientific person, I have a degree based on genetics within biology. But I believe in God…

I believe in God, in gods, in angels, in demons, in the devil, in a guardian and in life as a miracle. I understand the basics of life as a biological viewpoint, but to ignore that there is something, someone and a presence beyond our control, is to ignore life itself. Humans have a tendency to dance the tune of the devil and we always seem to fall back to such tactics, as we develop. This seems to be the nature of humans and it is a dredging up of our animal beginnings. A beginning that was never developed naturally. This it seems is a degradation of society and we allow ourselves to self immolate into our worst part and or soullessness…

Today I will extend a depth into silence. We all should; we have walked a path never before seen by humans now on earth. I will not say never on earth, for we are but just a genetically accelerated species and have a long ways to grow, to encompass our potentials. I ponder if we are even able to reach those potentials, but the potential is there nonetheless…

Today I will enjoy the silence. It is hot, muggy and silence is needed. The world is in multiple forms of chaos and silence is needed to contemplate, but silence is also not to be extended. For with silence comes acceptance of all that is wrong…

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance. – Khalil Gibran

We need silence to gather what we need to express…

I will be silent and garner what is happening in the world and why we seem powerless to stop the crushing decadence of our societies…

Maybe we are silent too long, Silent to deep, Silent when we should express? Silent maybe when we should have actions! Silent when others suffer! Silence kills as readily as bombs! Silence is growth and hindrance at the same time. Silence is a very powerful and silence is more than lack of noise; it is also oblivion…

Silence is sometimes important and sometimes not…

Nice, France…

“Nice” the city, many deaths! I absorbed what happened and the first thing that waved over me was. A truck killed 80 to 100 people. Much more efficient than a gun. Yet there will be no calls for removal of trucks.

Not stupid as it sounds. Anything can literally be used to kill, including you bare hands. It is never the device used or means to kill that is the issue…

It is humans that are the issue and as long as we antagonize and degrade others in this world. Retaliation will be common as mud after a rain storm…

The earth is now too small and too assailable to all. Retaliation is easy…

We cry to the heavens because France was attacked again!

Why are we not crying to the heavens for all the deaths we create and or cause?

Things that happen such as in Nice is never right, but also at the same time it is never wrong. It just counts on which side of the fence you are on and how you look at your place in the world…

Small planet really; If you slap your neighbor, expect retaliation in some form or another…
