Good 42º clear sunny morning. I think it hit about 72º
yesterday. All those clouds.
On non-leap years (until 2039), this day marks the summer solstice in the
northern hemisphere
and the winter solstice in the
southern hemisphere,
and is the day of the year with the most hours of daylight in the northern
hemisphere and the least hours of daylight in the southern hemisphere. Or as we
call it... the 'first day of summer'.
Yesterday on Facebook my friend Linda said her hubby had a run
in with a skunk. People suggested the old tomato juice bath. ICK!!! MESSY!!!
This is the time of year the little black and white darlings are moseying around
with their young... if you have skunks in your area go to the store and buy
Neutrogena Clean Shampoo...
I have had experience with this. My darling was trapping skunks that were
living under our house. Of course the trap gets saturated and so did his shoes
after walking in the stink. You can saturate the ground with white vinegar to
get rid of the smell, you can bathe yourself and your clothes with the shampoo.
Gets it off right away. Maggie had a few experiences too and I just wet her
down, poured on the shampoo, and the smell was gone IMMEDIATELY! There is also
Skunk Off...
... get it at hardware or pet store. Brian's Atlas got skunked and he just
wiped him down and the smell was gone. Keep something like this on hand for that
one time emergency!

another goodie from George Bachmeier...
"As democracy is perfected, the office of President represents, more
and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and
glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's
desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright
moron."
--- H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26,
1920
I can add ... a moron wrapped around an idiot! (Thanks
Jeannie!) We certainly got one of those.

One more from George (Peter Dee and Dale you will like this!):
Tower: "Delta 351, you have
traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!"
Delta 351: "Give us another
hint! We have digital watches!"

Yesterday was Applegate Valley Ranch for dinner. It's out on
Applegate Road outside of Grants Pass...between the Schmidt and Troon
Vineyards...
It was being hosted by Casa Amiga with José and his group. There were
nine of us...
Moving center to left and back to right..
Rich, Barbara (Chatelains), Peter (sorry, don't know your last name!), Dale, Dee (Yellins),
Bob (Havercroft), me, Jeannie and back to Bill (Pattersons) in the front...
It was all you can eat tacos... they had pork, chicken, beef, and
carne asada. There were all the condiments.. plus chips, refried beans, black
beans, and rice. Margaritas were the drink of the evening, but Jeannie and I
stuck to the Chardonnay.
Thanks Missy and Gang. Good time!
Nice evening. Nice people. We'll go back for their regular BBQ
another night. Oh, and saw my friend Donna Walsh, artist extraordinaire. She was
there with her hubby. She gave me a card she had made up of one of her
paintings....
To see more of Donna's works go to www.donnawalshfineart.com
Scroll down through the gallery and you will come to a black wolf on the left called 'The Watcher'.. that is the painting I have. LOVE it!

National Peaches and Cream Day
When I was growing up we had a freestone peach tree in our backyard. THE BEST
peaches ever! Daddy said it was planted by a bird!
