Pic-A-Day

[intothenew]

Post 'em up.

Two rules:

Only one pic, per person, per day.

The pic must be from the current calendar day.

Show us a slice of life, as you know it.

[intothenew]

From my walk before work this morning, we needed the rain and the rain gear needed exercise. Andrea blessed us.

Headed to a local park today for a knife club cookout/picnic. One pic to follow.

[crashdive123]

I was torn. Should I post pictures of the BBQ ribs, pulled pork, baked salmon, or the countless other dishes that were prepared for our annual picnic. I opted for this shot instead of the food.

Y'all don't get avocado that far north do you? I'd be willing to swap some avocados out of my back yard tree for some bacon.

[crashdive123]

Not the full sized. Still pretty reasonable at the Commissary. I can always substitute more bacon.:whistling:

I like to make Birfdays a week long event, BearDog is certainly no different. Amongst the manna rained on him, a pair of knee guards. A loss of bark incident inspired the purchase. Anyways, cable lube and brake adjustment lessons precluded the test fitting and test ride this evening.

This is the only place I have seen it, certainly not a scientific certainty. Rumor has it, it's the only place you can find it. My googlefu comes up short. I think:

Silene virginica L. var. robusta

Fire Pink, which encompasses many plants.

Commemorating The Lend Lease Program in WWII. My dad was friends with an actual Russian pilot who flew planes from Alaska to Russia for the program. He was so interesting. Lots of men died flying those planes over there.

[Rick]

@ intothenew - Fire Pink and Indian Pink are both native to Indiana. I planted both a few years back when I put in a bunch of native plants. The Fire Pinks have struggled but the Indian Pinks have done great.

[intothenew]

True dat, but;

If it is in fact the variety "robusta", that is supposedly only found in WV. I have some homework to do this weekend, and I need to carry my camera on my walk Monday to get a better pic.

[Rick]

The variety here is virginica...Virginica, virginica. Not sure what your pollinators are there but Ruby Throated Hummingbirds are the primary pollinators here, which is one of the reasons I planted them. It's also threated specie here mostly do to loss of habitat, which is another reason I planted them. They are very resistant to both disease and insects, which makes them ideal for planting around the house.

[intothenew]

Eight days from today, there is a Bronc riding competition. The stage is set. No, you cannot smell my fingers.

I grew up being told those were poisonous. I know they aren't but after being told that for so long it's hard for me to try it. Some day I'll get up the gumption to have a go at it.

That's a mighty impressive pic there Crash. I would like to have seen that one in person. I have an affinity for dramatic sunsets. Thanks for sharing that one.

Wilderness first aid?

[intothenew]

It's not named as such, MSHA training, Mine Safety and Health Administration. A rather comprehensive course.

Wilderness? Two miles underground anywhere? An open pit in Inner Mongolia? The Tar Sands in Canada? Copper Pits in Kazakhstan? The "rust" mounds in Mexico? It sure as heck feels like it a times.

I also scraped a little vanilla bean into it, and added a dash of sea salt, right after adding the bourbon.

That first vacuum seal of the season, it sounds like............Victory.

A few glazed half pints for me, the varmints don't like them, go figure. They prefer only salt and butter, hence the clean pints.

Like most of my veggies, the cuke plants fizzled out. But I did pick up a few cucumbers at the farmers market, to make at least one small batch of quick pickles.

My go-to fishing spot. Used to be a state dirt pit but the DNREC turned it into a fishing pond. Stocked with bluegill and large-mouth bass and, in early March, rainbow and golden trout.

Gee Whiz there Big C. That's a honker of a knife. Did you make that? Is that Damascus or a patina? Either way I like it mucho.

I always thought of hummingbirds as quiet, and shy until I moved here that is. we have 2 feeders here, and the 2 years ago we had about 6 or 7 ,last year by the end of the season, we had about 20 or so. THIS year we have an estimated 30ish, we aren't real sure,because they fuss and fight so much always flying in and out so fast that we can not get an even remotely accurate count on them. And when we walk outside they are constantly in our face jabbering, yes jabbering. Not singing a happy little song, it feels like you are getting the 3rd degree when they fly up to your face chattering away like that. It is hilarious,you KNOW you are in trouble,especially when it's time to fill the feeders,which used to be every three or four days, then was every other day, we now have to fill them every day.

I do not have a camera that takes a good picture of them though, they are not still enough for that. We have several pairs of cardinals here as well, I love them you almost never see a male without his mate or vise versa.

[ClayPick]

Cardinals are a new arrival in my neck of the woods. They started showing up last year. We have been religiously feeding hummers for years and we are up to 10 cups of nectar a day!

[1stimestar]

In Colorado I had to refill the hummingbird feeders a couple of times a week. We had lots and yes they are feisty little suckers.

That's a cool picture.I've seen only a few a them in my area so far.Cool bird.

[Rick]

You have a lot of potential there, Camp.

Nell, come September or late August whenever the days start turning cool the northern birds will be flying through migrating south. That's the jump you get in the Ruby's. They are incredibly smart birds. They remember where the feeders are and will stop by your place next spring looking for them. I try to get mine out in late March. The first ones generally arrive in early April. Here's a link for you. They have a map so you can watch it in the spring and see when they start arriving.

up Rick, I use that website to know when to start putting out a feeder,just one partially filled at first,but this year they are in full bloom i guess you could say, It has been soooo cool here the past week,and that is when they really stepped up on the eating. I made the remark to Steve (my bf), that it is almost like the cooler weather has them in that feeding frenzy before they head south. I would love to have feeders hanging all along the front porch, we hang them from each end of a singletree that decorate the porch and we have 4 more singletrees hanging out there.

Love my step-daughter. Nasty spider bite that has her eye swollen completely shut... yet she doesnt stop smiling or running around endlessly.
Awww poor babe,I hope that you have had her visit the doc? My daughter was bitten by a house spider several years ago,didn't look bad at all for 3 days,then she came hoe from school barely able to walk as it had swollen (upper thigh area) and a very red streak had formed from the bite area up her thigh and across her lower tummy area and back down the other thigh. Doc said she developed a bad allergic reaction (after 3 days?) to the bite. They treated with antibiotics after treating with epinephrine in the ED. Praying for a speedy recovery for the little cutie!

[1stimestar]

Aw, poor girl. But she looks like she is certainly taking it in stride.

[Oddmott]

Thanks Nell,

I'd actually had her into a pharmacy as soon as she woke up for some anti-histamines and then off to a walk-in clinic to see a doc and get some prescriptions before 9am. My mom was bit by a south american spider when she was working in a flower shop in the 80s. Nearly lost her leg and her life when that bite got out of control after 4 days and 2 different doctors telling her she had nothing to worry about and it'd go away on its own.

For me, bite+serious swelling=medical aid, STAT

To answer your question (sorry I missed it) ...... not true at all. I've been scuba diving in the clear, clean waters of Hawaii, Guam, Aruba, Bahamas, and many other places that have clean clear water and are teeming with life. Some of the many springs here in Florida have crystal clear water with lots and lots of life.

Yeah, but it's 60. I would love to see 60 degree temps right about now.

Someone gave me some pretty rotten prickly pears. So I'm gonna see if I can make a sort of wild cider out of them.

The passionflower didn't produce any fruit, but at least I can harvest the leaves for some nighty-night tea. ;)

Praise be!

That's a shot worth of a National Geographic.

[crashdive123]

We've been getting our typical afternoon thunder storms. Yesterday's was spectacular. I had to try out the camera in my new phone..........now to figure out the rest of the phone.

[Rick]

That is an amazing picture. What's next in your vitae? CrashPhotos?

You ain't kiddin' me, Crash. I know that's the smoke cloud over Hunter's cabin. He's been playin' with fire again. Mrs. Hunter is gonna be so ticked.

Last week, the yard guys managed to pull up the yerba mansa (and some other plants) from the front bed. :no:

I put the bare root in the water fountain, and seems to have made a full recovery in there.

The kefir water nearly essploded this morning. :scared:

[Oddmott]

I've never had prickly pears... what are they like?

[grrlscout]

Mildly sweet. To me, a bit like an not quite ripe honeydew.

[Rick]

The are like a bazillion of the tiniest needles you've ever been stuck with.

YUM, & healthy, too.
Now if that were me posting it, I'd catch all kinds of hell especially from 2D and Ken. :innocent:

And if it was 2D posting it, it would be covered in bacon.

[BENESSE]

Wouldn't surprise me if he named his son Bacon. It's a southern thing too, using a last name for first...why, no one down there would give it a second thought.

I think I'm channeling 2D when I say....

10 years ago we had Johnny Cash, Bob Hope and Steve Jobs. Now we have no Cash, no Hope and no Jobs.

Please don't let Kevin Bacon die.
