| This is a Winesap apple, but I don't think they meant it that way |
Bumbling wasps stagger over fallen apples, drunk on the cold of the mornings and fermented apple juice.
But are they happy drunks? No they are not.
There is no gratitude for the bounty left behind by gravity and moth grub.
Instead should a dog's paw or a human ankle inadvertently brush their personal cider spheres, they emerge from their stupor to zip to the offender and sting and sting and sting.
So far this year we have been careful and unscathed, but last year one got poor Mack in the neighborhood of the nethers and made him more than a little miserable.
And speaking of miserable....
Here, for your personal misery....without the benefit of alcohol,...are a couple of zingers of the news story variety. These didn't make me terribly happy, but then what from the news media does these days....
Fifty Shades of Not so Green
The inmates are running.....but not the prison....
Thanks to a couple of friends, from both near and far, for finding these.

Depressing but not really so surprising
ReplyDeleteJan, so frustrating that stories like these are largely ignored by pretty much everyone. A solar array is proposed for property adjoining ours. An excellent crop field, which will never, ever grow food again and probably will be contaminated as bad as any Superfund site forever and ever. And no one knows or cares.
ReplyDeleteWe know, we care, we just don't do anything about it. Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteSo sad and depressing.
ReplyDeleteMo, I wish I knew how we could do something. I do feed information to some movers and shakers here in county...doing a little research for them to take to meetings and use on websites. It isn't much but it is within my reach. Love you!
ReplyDeleteLinda it is! One site they are going to use to create a solar desert adjoins our back fields. We always wished we could afford to buy that field, as it is excellent crop land. Alas, we are not a giant, government subsidized solar company so it will be taken out of production...forever....
