But that I should beware that some people would interpret me as mean-spirited. Apparently, she was some crazy psychic! Or Farmer H contacted her behind my back.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-63260354062516489562012-07-04T19:10:31.869-05:002012-07-04T19:10:31.869-05:00Personally, I would take "smart mouthed b*tch...Personally, I would take "smart mouthed b*tch" as a compliment from a man as that at least lets you know they heard instead of acting deaf. I certainly did not intend to offend. I was trying to convey my love of seeing your place of abode in all of its glory; especially Farmer H's inventive additions and how you veiw them (that was the gag part). Perhaps, I was being a "dumb mouthed b*tch". So sorry. I used to live in the country and so enjoy the individuality of the homes.knancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676773933097423968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-19171161413936160932012-07-04T18:18:04.981-05:002012-07-04T18:18:04.981-05:00knancy,

That I'm a smart-mouthed b*tch!<br /><br />It's some of the people, not the place. In fact, my unofficial blog motto in years past was People Piss Me Off.<br /><br />I refuse to be photographed, but I do not object to my refuse being photographed. However, Poolio is clear to partly cloudy right now. I can't guarantee his transparency after a few more butt-soakings, though.<br /><br />*************<br />Sioux,<br />Have you heard that the Mark Twain National Forest has been on fire for several weeks? Bummer. <br /><br />Right back at ya! You have given me an idea. We're a regular mutual inspiration society.<br /><br />**************<br />Chick,<br />Well, even an owl could not mistake recent months for winter in Missouri. I figured the Barred Owl was the most logical explanation. But the ones I saw in pictures were very barred.<br /><br />This fellow appeared calm, but he was certainly suspicious of me, and flew to a high perch to continue his observation of me.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-41837451711207771512012-07-04T08:35:31.350-05:002012-07-04T08:35:31.350-05:00Short-eared Owls are in Missouri only during the w...Short-eared Owls are in Missouri only during the winter months, so I'd say you encountered a Barred Owl. <br /><br />I love Barred Owls. For awhile I volunteered in a raptor rehab facility and I just loved it when we got Barred Owls. They are so sweet.Chickadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516832244348723175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-29269520421594163872012-07-04T00:20:03.985-05:002012-07-04T00:20:03.985-05:00Your brush with the owl reminded me of a summer I ...Your brush with the owl reminded me of a summer I worked for the Youth Conservation Corps in the Mark Twain National Forest.<br /><br />We lived there as well as worked there, so on one of the first nights, we saw a movie on venomous snakes. (We did encounter some rattle snakes when we walked to the latrine.)<br /><br />We were told that we would be able to determine if they were venomous or not by the shape of their pupil. I laughingly said, "If I have to get close enough to a snake to figure out what shape the pupil is in their eye, well..."<br /><br />This made me remember something I might be able to use in a post.

I only say gag because you seem not to enjoy it. When and if you are able to retire, I hope you will get in tune with where you live. I love your posts on the backside of your life. But, come on, be ready for all kinds of things we would enjoy in photos to help us understand your HM ways. Personally, I would love to see a picture of you throwing food off the back deck to the chickens! It would forever vindicate my WV Hillbilly stereotype! Especially if the poolio is scummy.knancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676773933097423968noreply@blogger.com
