The answer, Internet people, can be found at this most excellent website.

Spring: The executive summary.

i have a feeling that the weather changes here quite frequently. Just to keep you on your toes.

One day late, and missing the element of snow, Easter sunday 2008 had a repeat. A quick reminder: Easter Sunday 2008 Rained, Hailed and Snowed.

The Monday following Easter sunday 2009: Sunny. Quite sunny. Followed by suddenly dark, then Biblical quality downpour and for dessert- Hail. Raingear ? No. Cold weather attire? No. Soaking wet and covered with ice pellets? Why yes.

Of course, the horses were smart enought to seek shelter. Go figure.

Car Club. Newberg, Oregon

i lied, this post has nothing to do with car clubs. This has everything to do with the John Deere Club having a meeting at the local Wilco Farm Store- in Newberg Oregon.

Jackets! T-Shirts! Museum Pieces! Newberg! Exclamation Points! Lots of JD Green.....

With Spring comes the giant yellow ball of light and heat, gnats, and taxes. i don't use this to discuss politics or current events, but i will mention that the BKODs appear to be hoarding money. Such is the economy at this point. With various fiscal concerns hanging above the skies of Yamhill it should be no surprise to see farm animals with their rolls of nickels, dimes and quarters, thumbs be damned.

Good Eats: with all due respect to Alton Brown

in honor this link, i present this recipe:

1 tomato, chopped
1 onion, chopped
Shoyu (soy sauce, for the rest of you) to taste
Sambal ( a lot) to taste
1 Lowly Tin of Sardines, or your favorite canned fish. Not Tuna! Are you some sort of fucking luantic?*


Combine tomato onion and sardines in a bowl, add sambal and shoyu to desired heat /salt combination. Stir. Consume. Ponder the deeper questions of life as you sink deeper into sardinification. Something fishy? i should hope so.

Enjoy- or not- with a refreshing beverage.

Balance, Restored.

Upon my return, i noticed that one of the neighbors' genus Capra was not taking it's usual grazing position. This continued, all the while i was thinking , perhaps it has taken up residence in the shed because of the winter? Sadly, it has died, leaving its sister behind.  A chance meeting with the neighbor at a TMO gave us the story. 

You know what? We know people with goats! 

With much bleating, balance and order has been restored to the Force. 

Even with taxes, creditors ,lawyers and other things.. Spring is still coming, and the goats will graze as they always do.
