Well lets see at TRV…

The white lilac planted several years ago is doing great. The pear trees are producing fruit. The rose died from the harsh weather. No apples this year at all. Plums are so so. TRV is still a soap opera all the time with idiots everywhere from the city squabbling over nothing. Getting hot once again, but lots of rain. No coronavirus at the village yet. Big village has been hit hard by King Corona. Mom’s home is done. I still have a few things left to finish at Nikolai’s home (Our home). The sunflowers are finishing and I am drying some to keep for taking to Moscow. Coffee is cheap and so very good…

Just miss my sweetpea, but she has been very busy with dealing with her 90 year old uncle. It looks like I will soon be going back to Moscow and help this winter with her uncle…

Life goes on and life is really very good. We just play the cards we are dealt and that is what makes or breaks us…

Coronavirus-19 strikes another Russian friend…

Saddened yesterday with bad news: A friend of ours in Moscow has now been quarantined.

About a week or so ago – He (our friend) went to a good friend of his, this friend (a mother) has a 3 year old daughter. The little girl had a fever. The daughter got sick from daycare? (They will trace where it came from.) Mother works full time. Daughter slightly running a fever. Mother contracted days after the daughter showed signs of illness unknowingly from daughter as she cared for her unknowingly having Coronavirus-19. Mother now in the specialty hospital in Moscow (right now) fighting for her life. Friend of ours (whom got it at same time from the little girl), is at the stage that he is quarantined (two weeks) and will be watched by the Russian Corona Care System and he has been given medicines and help. He had the vaccine (Sputnik V). The Mother did not have the vaccine and of course the daughter did not…

No one used masks, we are all friends they said, it is all a hoax they laugh at….as the King Corona spreads through the masses and laughs right back…

The little daughter seems fine (other than slight fever for a bit)….the mother is very sick….our friend? He has to wait and see if his vaccine will stymie the worst of King Corona-19…

I said a prayer for all involved…

It was a huge prayer, for so many are suffering from King Corona-19…

We can act like it is growing pains, yet it is really regression…

Lately I have just been watching the world. I have very little to say, for what I would say has very little positive about it. So….I just watch and do my thing…

We use to be able to say that things are happening and sometimes as you grow you have pains? Yet, the growth has stopped and we as humans are regressing. The Olympics is a perfect example of this regression and as we watch the media glorify the woke all over the world….I realize that people have lost their way….we no longer live in a, “When the going gets tough, The tough get going!” world…

I am not saying it is right or wrong for all involved. I am saying that the world is changing and as our future unfolds? We are going to find that we are no longer able to deal with life and meet life head on. This is important, for life can be really rough at times and if we fold easily, we fail easily…

Whether we like it or not:

We “Humans” are a member of the kingdom Animalia and as members of the kingdom Animalia, we still must follow the rules of nature and the main rule that rules all rules is,

“We may be human, but we’re still member of the kingdom Animalia.”

To ignore that fact and to try to alter reality to fit a psychotic society is doomed to failure…

We basically look at all living things in a simplified prose: Flora and Fauna: Flora has as some of its oldest examples, Water Caltrop, Welwitschia, Cycads, Moss etc… Fauna has, Goblin Shark, Heureka Ant, Frilled Shark, Sturgeon, Sponge as examples…

Just remember: Monera (bacteria), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia…

We are member of the kingdom Animalia and thus we must follow the same rules as other animals and the rules that God, Mother Nature and the Universe has set aside as proper and expected. To ignore these rules of existence? Will either remove us from this planet and or we will evolve into something that is not an iota of what we started at in this grand experiment of being human…

Maybe that is the experiment and you have to look at a very successful creatures (species), such as Horseshoe Crab, Coelacanth, Horsetails, Nautilus, Jellyfish and the undisputed king of age/survival on earth….Cyanobacteria…

Our survival is dependent upon our ability to accept that we are still animals…

We are still male and female. We are still one of the worlds creatures. We are still at the mercy of a higher power….be that power God and or gods and or just simply time and earth itself. If we weaken ourselves and try to play games at our existence and what our relationship is with the planet earth, we will fail as a species…

Our future does not lie with altering our life by make believe fantasies. Our future can be anything we desire, as long as we realize that we are still animals and animals must follow the rules and or parish…

Many times the abilities that we humans have been given with our brain, are also the biggest deficit that destroys us in our quest to get along on the planet we call Earth…

Yet I am of the belief that we humans are just a stepping stone to what will become of us and we are not in the end results, as we are presented right now. What we humans will create finally in our death throes will be our replacement. We humans are simply just a in between step to something greater….no more no less!

We are more akin to the workers in a factory than to gods upon our own planet…

In horse racing fillies compete against stallions and geldings. If horses can do it so can human women. End of Story, ladies.

In regards to the way ignorant humans are exploiting the woman sports all over the world… (Just some thinking time for this grouchy guy.)

~~ In horse racing fillies compete against stallions and geldings. If horses can do it so can a human women. ~~

End of Story, ladies. So get going…

Why is there even a need for sporting competitions, I thought everyone was a winner. Where’s my trophy?

We should stop being so speciesist and allow non-humans to compete. Toss a cheetah into the 100 meter sprint. An elephant into the weightlifting. A dolphin into the breaststroke. A Silverback Gorilla in a wrestling match….So on and so on…

Women’s sports (yes even the Olympics) have devolved into a place where [mentally ill] male athletes [who cannot compete with other males] can go to ~win~ trophies…

Tidbit:

HOW STRONG IS A SILVERBACK GORILLA? Gorilla strength is estimated to be about 10 times their body weight. Fully grown silverbacks are in actually stronger than 20 adult humans combined. A Silverback gorilla can lift 4,000 lb (1,810 kg) on a bench press…

Not sure how they verified these facts, but a gorilla can open a serious can of whoop ass if they desire…

“Oh man look what I found? A million tons of pollen!”, says the bee…

So many choices and so much goodness….I found a new sun!

Подсолнечник сорт «Битюг»

The other one called Лакомка = Gourmet we have a popular ice-cream called the same.

This person just loves his Gourmet sunflowers and growing them for birds like we do…

The last one he keeps for seeds.http://agropost.ru/rastenievodstvo/maslichnie/podsolnechnik-bityug.html

I measured the tallest plants and as of this morning they hit 3 meters tall….they will not stay that tall for long….the heads are getting heavy with seeds…

Sunflowers are fun to grow…

Thanks SweetPea for the information…

I was thinking about “Time”.

coffee time
Yet, I have found that there always is time for coffee!

Time:

The true ruler of all we know. The destroyer of all we know. Nothing can outlast Time….nor Gods, Planets, Universes and yes, even us humans!

“Time waits for no one.” – Folklore…

The above quote was dated around 1225 AD – before English language was solidly formed…

“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it’s afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?” – Dr. Seuss

“If time travel is possible, where are the tourists from the future?” – Stephen Hawking

Time, gracefully portrayed as a tenacious Mafioso, logically clarified as the fourth measurement, we like to call dimensions, and basically seen as a significant yet totally restricted asset of our lives, is perhaps the greatest enigma of the universe. Actually, our choices and activities characterize whether it is our adversary or partner. Assuming responsibility for our time implies carrying on with our own life – not another person’s – and benefiting from it…

Yet, I have found that there always is time for coffee!

Does “Time” sit down and sip a cup of coffee?

I hope so…

Up at 2 a.m. and trying to get ahead of the heat at the Tiny Russian Village

Life is what we make it and life is good!

That is why I smile so much, you should see when I really am grouchy… 🙂

Just been busy in the Tiny Russian Village…

Very hot this morning. The cold and hot front are fighting out over who wins and humidity and an inversion has set in…

Yet yesterday, I stayed drenched in sweat, battled horseflies and did major work on the back porch. Safety and weather proofing it…

The sunflower girls are just enjoying life and they demand lots of water at this time. When they flower they need water….I reach 2.5 meters easily and the girls are trying for three meters now….I suspect I planted Russian Mammoths and by keeping them close together, it has helped keep things under control…

I went and got water from the well and as always, full yesterday and almost empty today….a family came in and they bucket brigade the well and emptied it. 🙁 They washed three cars, filled their water barrels, watered the garden, washed everything in the homes, had a water bucket fight (tossed water at each other) and then had the gall and got into an argument (and demanded) with the well filler and did I say, demanded the well filled again….it was over flowing that very morning, before they showed up…

I grabbed what I could this morning and hope that they fill the well again. I am smart after all these years, keep lots of water handy…

What upsets me is when these city people bring the tribe and fill swimming pools and wash all their cars…

Water is life blood and they waste it….to a city person, the water is like electricity, just is, because it just is and no thoughts as to your greedy actions when you waste it…

“Pa, the faucet is dry!”
