It's been a year since the untimely death of Mr. Toadstool...

On the morning of 24 July 2009...

Mr. Toadstool was found, cut down, in the prime of his life...

the case has hit a stand still...

no one will go on record...

with no family and no life insurance...

he was buried in a pauper's grave...

only the grave digger and a kindly old lady attended the funeral...

Mr. Toadstool just days before the murder...

the suspect is still at large...

and by local gossip...

was last seen entering the corn field...

and he was wearing...

a hat just like this...

if you have information pertaining to this case...

please leave a comment...

RIP Mr Toadstool

In less than a month...things change so much...

June 30th...

today...

God sure makes some amazing things...

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.

-Leo Buscaglia

I learned something new today...

yeah, I live in the sticks, but I had no idea!...

this is a hummingbird moth...

and I didn't know they came from those ugly horned tomato worms...

that I have been killing for years!...

these little buggers are cute...

I'm thinking of planting a crop of tomatoes to breed them...

won't my neighbors be happy with me...

blog hopping is very educational...

More words of wisdom...

If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas...

we went out quickly...

went for a short walk...

took some pictures...

the Resurrection lilies are up...

there's a stiff good breeze...

from the south...

could use some of that good old Canadian air about now...

but our thermometer already reads 90...

and it's only 9:30 in the morning...

got the whole list done and checked off...

all the animals are inside...

and so are the people...

pray for my husband today and for everyone who has to work outside in this...

this could be our hottest day yet...

heat advisories of 105-115 today...

I have a plan...

we are closing off one bathroom...

two bedrooms...

Craig will move into the living room for the next two days...

like he doesn't spend most of his time there anyway...

close all the curtains...

turn off all the lights...

and microwave or cold food only...

fill the birdbath...

and keep my hind end inside!...

hope your day is better!

last year...

my hibiscus was blooming...

Mr Wiggles was happy...

and we had rocked around the fire pit...

good times...
