As long as there is sugar involved I seem to be satisfied.<br /><br />I think we have the same degree, my emphasis is in wildlife biology though. I feel it gives me the authority to say "children, there is a bear across the street. Come inside please." I just adore Alaska!<br /><br />CBChristine B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335289758548637661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-41956150655042394162011-06-24T10:18:26.169-07:002011-06-24T10:18:26.169-07:00ah....

While I recognized the source (and is largely why I clicked vs. continued my chores... urf), didn't know the next line, so appreciate that you supplied it.<br /><br />You day is SO familiar to me. Except I'm not a jelly bean person. More of a chocolate forager.<br /><br />And yes, people who ride their mountain bikes on muddy trails in the rain and end up covered in what WAS 300 years of laying down soil that the planet had accomplished do not inspire me with their prowess but make me cringe for the poor planet. And my sister used to do that. AND to have friends, etc., the conservation biologist is mum unless THEY bring up the topic. =)<br /><br />Good for you re: letting the Earth drink and rest. =) As well as you.biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-20374212615985843542011-06-22T13:43:12.679-07:002011-06-22T13:43:12.679-07:00@Benjamin VogtWell, I'm impressed by your disc...@<a href="#c1939871439984865465" rel="nofollow">Benjamin Vogt</a>Well, I'm impressed by your discernment, sir.

I know some English gardeners that would say anything that doesn't require a canoe to maneuver around in is a light rain, but they're a bit jaded I think;) <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />CBChristine B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335289758548637661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462867846580440325.post-459719969598412432011-06-20T06:18:49.488-07:002011-06-20T06:18:49.488-07:00I enjoyed your nothing post :-)

No not usually. I am a weather wuss. It used to be that on rainy days I would keep house and tend to my kids' needs. Now that they're grown I spend the time here on the computer. The housework suffers but oh well. :) Good luck with that lawn vs. weed endeavor. I know it well.GRACE PETERSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520343332670354262noreply@blogger.com
