Good 61ยบ cloudy, very cloudy morning.
And last evening.... as the clouds moved in about 4pm..
I liked this little "independent cloud" ......
I filled the weed sprayer yesterday and managed to spray the road to the
gate and back before it quit on me!
I had to go to town to mail a birthday card, pick up Maggie's meds, so
stopped in at the mower repair shop where Dave works 2-3 days a week and asked
him about the fuse (how, what, where). Came home and put in a new fuse. Nada. Grrrrrrrr.... So will
see what neighbor Dave or neighbor Frank can figure out today. Won't be able to
finish spraying as long as this rain is looming over us! Figures.
We lived in Temple City for 30 years, near the Arboretum in Arcadia.
Occasionally a peacock or two would go roof top to roof top and end up in our
neighborhood. I had never seen them fly though. Here are a few pictures of
peacocks in flight. Amazing....
OMG, if you ever roller skated... you will find this 'Vintage Roller

Great ending. Thanks Deeewayne Honey P-Berger for this..

National Rocky Road Ice Cream Day
Rocky Road ice cream (known in Canada as Heavenly
Hash ice cream) is a chocolate flavor. Though there
are variations on the flavor, it is traditionally composed of chocolate ice cream,
nuts, and marshmallows. The flavor was
created in March 1929 by William Dreyer in Oakland, California
when he cut up walnuts and marshmallows with his
wife's sewing scissors and added them to his
chocolate ice cream in a manner that reflected his partner Joseph Edy's chocolate candy
creation incorporating walnuts and marshmallow pieces. Later, the walnuts would
be replaced by pieces of toasted almond. After the Wall Street Crash
of 1929, the company gave the flavor its current name "to give folks
something to smile about in the midst of the Great Depression." Alternatively,
Fentons Creamery in
Oakland claims that William Dreyer based his recipe on a Rocky Road-style ice
cream flavor invented by his friend, Fentons' George Farren, who blended his own
Rocky Road-style candy bar into ice cream; however, Dreyer substituted almonds
for walnuts.
The original Rocky Road ice cream used chocolate ice cream with no chocolate chip pieces. Today, Rocky Road can be obtained based on vanilla ice cream with chocolate chips, marshmallows and almonds.
