Spring Peepers...NOW????

I've been hearing the wonderful sounds of spring peepers (frogs) the last two nights! And I'm having a hard time with this. While I love love love the sound of these wonderful frog beings, it worries me that they've gotten their seasons mixed up, and may not remember to finally dig down deep when our temperatures finally go to where they should be for this time of year.

Do hope froggies know or learn how to adapt to this changing world of ours. All I know is I can't wait for cold and snow. 

The seasons really do need to go round and round. The flora and fauna certainly depend upon it.

Shameless Family Exploitation*

*AKA: Using my Baby Brother's Material for
My Own Most ~Brilliant~ Post

And Also Known As:Words of the Day Redeux,Apricots on Steroids

My brother, Bill, emailed the family today with news & photos of his apricot crop. (Really, that should be his plethora of an apricot crop. And as you will read, in the past several years, there had also been a total dearth of an apricot crop. That so works for me and my favorite words thingy!) Without consulting him, I have decided that his pictures and words would make the most lovely post here for me at the Tombstone. Aren't I just the best older sister???

"Apricot Production to the Point of Failure"

Bill wrote:
"When we bought the house [in 2004], this apricot tree was just barely taller than me. Didn't produce apricots that year or the next. I told it that if it didn't produce apricots, I was going to cut it down and use it to smoke a turkey. Apparently, it listened. Last year, we had about 30 apricots. Delicious. This year? The tree got serious about apricot production!

b.bum

The Abundance is Unabating...Steroids are Suspected...

Obviously it is much taller than Bill now......And that tree will never be smoking any stinkin' ol' turkey!
It most certainly has earned it's keep! ~~~

On another note, have you all heard anything about the biggest land fill in the world??? Did you know it is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean??? Until very recently, I had no idea - no idea at all! While I'm not one to preach about much of anything, I must say that this bothers me a LOT! The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is real, is growing at an alarming rate and, I believe, is a huge issue for all of we humans who occupy this one and only earth.
