Answers to the Citizenship Test

June 26, 2014

Howdy! Do you remember back in April when I posted a sample citizenship test? It was 100 questions. Here’s a link to that post.

Tiny T remembers. (Name that meme!)

Tiny T says, "I pity the fool who takes his citizenship and liberty for granted!" Preach it, T. Preach it.
Tiny T says, “I pity the fool who takes his citizenship and liberty for granted!” Preach it, T. Preach it.

I’ll tell you who else remembers: Martie.

Hi Martie!

I owe a big, juicy apology to this dear reader. She is almost local to the farm, living in sort of nearby Guthrie, Oklahoma. Our great state’s original capitol! It’s a great little city. Guthrie boasts a beautiful main street filled with cool shops, delicious cafes, and trendy coffee houses. Their gorgeous, shaded Mineral Wells park hosts some of the nicest car shows and Zombie 5-Ks around. AND Guthrie is where my beekeepers’ club meets each month. Love it there!

Anyway, sweet Martie has been commenting here for a while and has asked me a couple of times if I would please post the 100 answers to that little citizenship test. Well I lost the answers. Okay? I just did. I forgot to save the answer page back in April and have been having a long, extended nervous breakdown over this ever since.

So. Very. Embarrassing.

Tonight I found them!!

So. Very. Exciting!! I really needed this win, you guys. And I am happy to be able to post them here for Martie especially. She’s such a sweet lady, and she calls her guy “Handsome” too. xoxo

If you haven’t already, why not grab some paper and gather your nearest and dearest to see how much each of you knows. Do not cheat by using the internet!! Again, the questions are right here. Then check you answers below.

plants, weak coffee, & copperheads

June 26, 2014

I am working on a garden update post, plus one about positive vibes and my Aha-Moment video, plus something for the moon followers among you, plus Tiny T updates, and other stuff. Lots of words!

For now, though… a photo I snapped tonight warrants some discussion. I hope you join the fun.

Okay.

The story is that this afternoon I went on a small shopping spree at a local nursery that was having a fantastic clearance sale. I drove right home, ate an avocado dipped in Dorito crumbs (shut up), and started planting. Usually when I buy lots of plants I get tired or have to go cook dinner or am simply paralyzed by the beauty and just stop about half way through. Sometimes a few plants get left on the sizzling concrete for a few days. Sometimes they get babied in the shade until I know what to do with them. But rarely never does every single plant get planted the same day it is purchased. It’s a terrible habit I’ve been trying to break.

Well…

Tonight I broke it!

Mostly.

That mosquito-repelling plant you see above was the only thing I didn’t tuck neatly into the earth tonight, post-spree. And I will tell you why.

It’s because of this milk can.

Sort of.

image (25)

This very cool old milk can sits against this very cool old door which adorns the brick smokehouse, which is really a garden shed for me. The door won’t stay shut on its own. Several days ago I lifted the rusted treasure to open the door, revealing a long, fat Copperhead snake coiled up beneath it, just waiting to murder me either with its venom or my own adrenaline.

That’s a longer story for another time, but suffice it to say that I will never step foot inside that shed again. And that shed is where my collection of terra-cotta pots is kept. Very neatly I might add.

So…

The mosquito-repelling plant  had to go un-potted tonight.

Except…

I couldn’t bear the thought of leaving just one new plant undone, so I grabbed this empty coffee can which is normally used to scoop out grain for the horses, llamas, and buff.

Except…

Who the heck purchased this nonsense?

Certainly not me. I buy Folger’s coffee, sure, but never AND I MEAN NEVER that mild stuff. Not even medium roast. You might as well drink green tea.

Some people might say that I add too much cream to my coffee, but it absolutely must start off as the darkest, richest, thickest coffee available for $7 per large can.

So…

The only new garden purchase not in the ground tonight is sitting, instead, in a mysterious plastic tub while poisonous snakes are hiding just downhill, keeping me away from my flower pots like dragons guarding a princess. This will not do, friends.

Something has to change.

Send terra cotta if you can.
XOXOXO
