Hillbilly Home Gym

Three Beautiful Things:

  1. Fresh Blueberries
  2. Croquet on the lawn
  3. Firing up the Grill

Two not so beautiful things:
Shaving the dog’s butt
Applying ointment

Garden Update:
Irish Spring Cat repellent experiment: Only original scent bar soap will do. Liquid version ineffective. Today’s brilliant idea: Colgate Palmolive should process Irish Spring in a shredded format and sell as a non-toxic cat repellent for gardeners.

And then this:

I’ve been waiting all summer for this Mandevilla to take off. Everything here is late blooming due to the ice storm and late frost. I was excited this morning to discover my sickly plant was now thriving.

Several of our associates are serious fitness gurus. Hit the gym twice a day, train, train, train. I admire the dedication and their triceps. But sometimes I like to kick it hillbilly style! A sturdy tree for stretching, a bench for dipping and maybe a big rock for stepping and you’re set!

From the Sports Desk:
In a recent game Springfield Cardinals vs. Arkansas Travelers (the team that hit the killer line drive), none of the base coaches wore batting helmets. I know it was a freak accident, but still a scary place to be unprotected.

Today’s tip for better living: Work on your Wind Release Pose.
