It's Planting Season!

1-Ideal weather conditions earlier in the week, drove me from the bunker to the my outdoor fields. Well, would you believe to a postage sized produce/flower garden. Each year about this time, the latent farmer in my blood line, rings my bell, for me to take up arms, in the form of shovel, hoe, rake and etc, get into the dirt, get all sweaty and covered with grim, last about a week. I remain however on stand-by alert, 'til the fall frost, to kill off insests, weeds, and chase off those darn deer, rabbits, groundhogs from invading eating up my investment. In the 47 years at this site, I am without a motorized tiller. The darn thing locked up and I junked it last winter. To reduce cash flow, last fall I've elevated future plantings to at least 6" above the grade, and into grow boxs of various sizes and geometric shapes. Then I filled boxes with compost, top soil and uncented cow manure. I hope "crop" yield leads form and fashion, in this case. 2-Two more Contempts of Congress have or will be issued bring the pp Administration to three in <6 years. Oversight Committees inquires are fine, usually yield little results and can drag on for years. Only half of the large crowd are commited to five minute ask questions, to challenge the "guilty", the other half tosses soft balls and accoldes. By comparison: A Select Committee, is but a small, the fewer the better, of "bipartisan mix", weighted in favor to the party in power. A select Committee on the "Behnghazi Massacre" is long in coming. pp may excape justice, but for MP, a career of non-accomplishments, coupled with her own words come, from a previous Congressional hearing, will bring her to an abrupt cessation. The LDP really don't have any one in the batters-up ring. 3-The May 6, primaries faired well for the CTPR party. Hopefully this continues all the way to Nov 4, and the Federal elections come Nov 2016.
