The Family That Prays Together, Strays Together
Throughout my life, prayer has played various roles depending on how holy I was feeling and how much I believed. When I was in high-school, college and on up through my twenties, I prayed all the time. I had this non-stop running conversation with God going on in my head. I prayed for friends, relatives and co-workers. I prayed for the people that I knew who were dabbling in Buddhism, vegetarianism, feminism and environmentalism that God would save them from [...]
Mennonite in a Little Black Dress – A Fun Summer Read
I recently finished the book Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen. When I first saw this book, I immediately assumed that it would be awful. I imagined a schmaltzy story where a former career woman comes back to her Mennonite roots and rediscovers love in a pasture. But that was not the story at all. Instead it is a non-fiction account of one woman who returns home to her Mennonite community after decades of living with an [...]
Pepper Plagues, Post Nuclear Disaster Cucumbers and A Peasant Tomato Uprising
There have been a lot of ups and downs with my garden this year. I have been battling bugs for months attempting to stay organic by handpicking the eggs and the bugs and spraying homemade garlic oil, neem and dish-soap on my plants, but after several weeks of this laborious regimen, I went out to my garden to find a new crop of squash bugs crawling all over my patty pan squash and pumpkin vines and in a fit of [...]
Weeds in Wheelbarrow
I gotta barrow, gotta barrow full of sunshine… Sorry. It was really late when I wrote that caption.
If Life Hands You Wax Lemons, Make Wax Lemonade
Dear Charles, I sometimes think that the whole world is made of wax… except for the people, who are made of regular old people material. On the off chance that the world is not made of wax, what do you suggest? I grow tired of scooping the waxen air out of my way and typing on a waxen keyboard only to grow hungry and be faced with either a wax apple or a waxy bowl of cornflakes. Remember those tiny [...]

Dumb question…can you put a bunch of goldfish in there? In big spaces they grow huge. Nothing cuter than a massive goldfish.
That is very cool! I want to go fishing right now.
I don’t know – The bass would probably eat them – but they are pretty.
I sit here in amazement that you have to pay for pond fish. And that there is someone who rides around selling them.
It’s not something I ever thought about. When we want to fish we just go to the stream that runs thru town. I never thought that they got there via human help. See, this is why your site is so good – I learn new things.
That pond supplies truck thing is the craziest thing I’ve seen. All day, at least.
What is the blue liquid the fish are transported in? I suspect it’s not Scope.

That is amazing. And weird.
Yes, it is Scope. Evidently Scope is the perfect biohydrating environment for baby fish. And no, the off brands are not as good for the little fishies. It has to be Scope.

That looks like so much fun! Now you know I’ll have to bring our boys out next year for a mini fishing tourney. I’ve already told my dad that it is his duty as a grandparent to take us out to every fishing spot in Weber County, until they are heartily sick of Bonneville cutthroats. I do so miss fishing trips, especially to Flaming Gorge.
