2. Are you ready to LEAP into Spring?<br />
3. <br />
4. Things around Texas turned green weeks ago!   I have chickweed blooming everywhere, and now this<br />
5. invasive weed called stick weed - so named because it sticks all over  you!   I don't know if it serves any purpose other than letting my dogs propagate it from one place to the other, because they come in from outside with it stuck all over their beards!  It's so funny to see!<br />
6. <br />
7. I found this YouTube Video today, and it really encouraged me.  I hope it encourages you also!<br />
8. <br />
9. Don't<br />
10. Quit<br />
11. EVER!<br />
12. <br />

15. <br />
16. <br />
17. I will admit it...this time of year, every year, I get sort of discouraged.  But I should not be for there is much potential to what I do.  And what I dream of doing!  So this year, I am not going to give into the discouragement, but just sit still, plan carefully, and keep plugging away!<br />
18. <br />
19. Also, I am going to be retiring Cassia's Kitchen.  That is why I have not written for a long time on here.  Someone who I trusted told me Wordpress was way better, so I have been busy behind the scenes of my new blog.  It will be called CassiaatHome.com   So stay tuned!<br />
20. <br />
21. So my friend, be encouraged this day!  Discouragement gives way to hopelessness, and hopelessness to despair, and despair, well, we won't go there.   <br />
22. <br />
23. I love you, my friend.<br />
24. <br />
25. Don't<br />
26. Ever<br />
27. Ever <br />
28. EVER<br />
29. Give <br />

63. Many of  you that read this blog and my facebook know how excited I was about <a href="http://theresponseusa.com/">The Response USA</a> which was held at Reliant Park in Houston last Saturday.   None of us who attended (approx 40,000 present, 1400 hundred churches live-streaming the event, and approx 150,000 personal online viewers!) were one shred disappointed.   It was a truly glorious occasion, and I believe a history maker! <br />
64. <br />
65. The purpose of The Response was to obey God's instructions in 2 Chronicles 7:14, to weep over our sins, our nation's sins, our blood guilty hands, our immorality, our faithlessness, our prayerlessness, our economy, and to pray for our President, for jobs, for rain, and for revival.   Look at this precious man.  There was not one dry eye in the place.<br />

89. My daughter Casey and I attended together, and after having gotten lost in Houston via some funky internet directions, we eventually got inside the stadium exactly 19 minutes before the event began.  I mean!  Chills, thrill,s tingling all up and down me while walking up the ramp to enter the building.   The presence of God was so strong that I immediately began alternately weeping and laughing out loud!   That is how awesome the glorious Presence of our Jesus is!   This is my friend Leah; she goes to my church. <br />

110. If her face doesn't tell you enough, let me explain: the Bible expressly states that in His Presence is fullness of JOY!  Joy, unspeakable, and full of Glory!   Unspeakable joy!  I mean, who does not want JOY?  The Bible says that the Joy of the LORD is our very strength!<br />
111. <br />
112. Here is her mom, Linda, who trained me to be prayer Captain over my home church.  I love Linda and just look at the joy on her face, as her prayers were, on that very day, answered to see an army of the Living God raised up to intercede until we see the return of our Lord and SAVIOR!   Yep, they are mom and daughter and I love each of them so much. <br />

131. The whole weekend was just awesome.   On Friday I loaded up my Camry with my daughter, my best friend, her daughter, and my daughter's best friend, and we joined about 50 other silent siegers at the largest abortion clinic in the Western Hemisphere.   We are praying that God will move on our behalf to shut down this facility which is planted right in the heart of Houston's poorest of the poor.   They claim many "health services" but the largest "service" they provide is the murder of our most helpless of minorities, the unborn.  Sacrificed on the altar of money and convenience, America has killed over 52,000,000 million babies sine the edict of Rowe vs.Wade in the past 40+ years.   God is angry with us over this atrocity, and we act like it is nothing.<br />

John 14   "In this world there will be tribulation, but be of good cheer; for I have overcome the world"  John 16.   </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">It is a day to seek the Lord.  To seek His face, and His favor.   To fear nothing but God, and hate nothing but sin.  It is a day to pray, and see God intervene in the affairs of men.   He has given US the earth, and He expects us to use His resources wisely.  He expects Kings to reverence Him; to honor Him. obey His laws, and to seek to reign righteouisly  over the people over whom He has given them authority.  Our duty is to Pray for them for wisdom, guildance, and divine fortitude.   </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />
238. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Soon, Jesus will return to establish His kingdom over all mankind.  There will be two kinds of people in two separate groups;  He mentioned them as "sheep" and as "goats".  The sheep hear His voice, obey Him and follow Him.   The goats go astray, and run around and disobey Him.   The sheep He gathers like wheat into the barn, but the goats he scatters like chaff which is burned up.   It is time to seek the Lord so that He can come and reign in righteousness.   </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

260. <br />
261. I am so pleased to meet awesome friends & fellow artists on the blogosphere, through Etsy and other handmade sites!  The mutual admiration and respect goes a long way in building relationships that hopefully will last a long time.  Sonya is a great blogger; only she is not so concerned with being a blogger that literally is only in it for the big bucks, with flashing whistles, lights, blinkies and other marketing approaches and endeavors.  What I see in her blog is an organic approach via a comprehensive plan to grow and expand her influence with content that delivers useful information, breathtaking beauty via her photography, her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/kanelstrand">handmade organic beauty from Norway</a>, and her giving back to the community through helping other young entrepreneurs opportunity to showcase their product.<br />

282. My friend, it is really late but I wanted to write to you from my heart tonight.   It is not  my desire to be harsh, or to be doom and gloom, but to speak candidly and with passion about something so near and dear to my heart.<br />
283. <br />
284. It is not necessary to re-hash what any major network can tell you vividly what is befalling our nation and the nations of the earth at this present time. We have been called to prayer this Saturday for our nation and for the mighty hand of God to have mercy on us and to heal our land.  We believe the summons is serious, and we believe the time is NOW. I want YOU to join me!  I want you to have the joy of being involved in something so powerful!<br />
285. <br />
286. I want to invite, no, in fact URGE you to watch this video, to follow the links, and to register for this meeting.  To join me and hundreds of thousands of other concerned Christian Americans to fast, seek the face of God on behalf of our nation.  Even if you live nowhere near Texas, you can still register online and view a simulcast of the even in live streaming just by clicking the links! <br />

292. I am so glad that we have a God in Heaven who is looking person by person, city by city, church by church, state by state and nation by nation.  He is more than willing to hear the prayers of His children as they cry out to Him for mercy for our land, and to pray and repent of the atrocities that we have performed as a nation.  His desire is to be merciful to His creation, and to heal our land.  IF we will BUT PRAY.... <br />

301. Governor Rick Perry has called for a day of prayer for our nation. Churches from all over the nation will be gathering together in Houston at Reliant Stadium for a day of pray for our country.  </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">This is an extremely important event. If the Governor is asking for us to come together and pray, he shouldn't have to wonder where all the Christians are.<br />

305. We believe that America is in a state of crisis. Not just politically, financially or morally, but because we are a nation that has not honored God in our successes or humbly called on Him in our struggles. According to the Bible, the answer to a nation in such crisis is to gather in humility and repentance and ask God to intervene. The Response will be a historic gathering &lt;/span&gt;of people from across the nation to pray and fast for America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cassiaskitchen.blogspot.com/feeds/281606856859593363/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/692582320364478560/281606856859593363' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/692582320364478560/posts/default/281606856859593363'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/692582320364478560/posts/default/281606856859593363'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cassiaskitchen.blogspot.com/2011/08/response-to-nation-in-crisis.html' title='Response to a Nation in Crisis'/><author><name>Kelly Ann Taylor</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13124671892527719020</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsDZ8a-1mv0UjBs-o8QVCY6zOhsK6RSUKw7sgeo6juJMEbeNPHxyeT6fzjURYrv6McNbNVxekfdp5NXhGB7Jvh0MUSUKzKkwMlsVMYU-g1i38j756LjtQ-51OirFAi8Q/s220/Casey+and+Mom+2011.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtt2OWpZMEEhWpACD4nXFH3tFZjWm8mvvnDSZ8UT6avQYenbL_5HquMgrNOAuKPL2XkcxMZ4Hy4wPFZi0zo75nQUMug5aaLoRoqk4oHRvFDxkWnY16ZD95AQ4sPCC4-2xEGPRl9RuQjOY/s72-c/New+Picture.bmp" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692582320364478560.post-5963800862696680130</id><published>2011-08-04T13:14:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-08-04T13:14:07.689-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="etsy"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="treasury"/><title type='text'>Peridot</title><content type='html'>The dog days of summer when you long again for the fresh green and coolness of early spring! &amp;nbsp;I love these greens, and I love the &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;Peridot&lt;/span&gt;. &amp;nbsp;My baby sister Erin was born on August 10th and I want to bless her with something wonderful from&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/&quot;&gt;Etsy&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;What do you think I should get her?&lt;script src=&quot;http://www.craftcult.com/js/trwi.js?s=2&amp;amp;l=MTExMzc0NzN8NTI1NDg0MTc1&amp;amp;r=27475&amp;amp;t=s&amp;amp;m=1&amp;amp;u=7675276&amp;amp;&quot;&gt;

335. <br />
336. So I go on Google + and am informed that I am not eligible but will be informed when it's open to the public.   #rejection.  So I consider Who I can Grovel To to ask for an invite just to be cool.  Finally!  Last night my wonderful new friend <span id="goog_1197276173"></span><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/seowebdesign">Mary</a> sent me an invite!  Wiping the sweat of rejection off my diminished ego, I shout "Yes!" to no one in particular and go on there.   First off, "Mary" is nowhere to be found and my inbox is indeed full of people who quite awhile ago had already invited me into their inner sanctums.<span id="goog_1197276174"></span><br />
337. <br />
338. Alas, I am still working my way through <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/seowebdesign">SEO</a> on my <a href="http://www.etys.com/hop/CassiasGarden">Shop</a> and am nowhere near being finished with that!<br />
339. So I go on there and discover that it is quite like facebook, which took me awhile to master but now my friends think I'm quite the guru myself. Ha!  It's all relative, folks! <br />
340. <br />
341. So now we're dealing with "circles" and I can see how they might indeed be effective especially for privacy settings.   But I am not especially happy about my old Picasa photo account with all my ancient blog posts with dirty kitchens being aired.  So, we might have to hold off airing ourselves to all cyberspace and business networks until we can get tidied up just a tad. <br />
342. <br />
343. Have you heard about Google Plus?  Will you use it?  If you aleady are, what do you think?  Should you switch over and work less  on Facebook?  How is it helping you to grow your business or blogging? <br />
344. <br />
345. I would love to hear!<br />
346. <br />
347. In other news, I had a new wholesale account inquiry buy a bunch of fall and Christmas samples from me, so I am hoping and praying it all pans out.   The lady has 3 stores that must be doing quite well, so that's good to hear!  And my <a href="http://http%3B//www.etsy.com/shop/CassiasGarden">Etsy Sales</a> have picked up and I am recovering from my dismal feelings of obscurity, rejection and disheartenment.   It's just so hard to plan sometimes when you just. don't. know. <br />
348. <br />
349. In other news, <a href="http://www.nola.com/hurricane/index.ssf/2011/07/tropical_storm_dons_center_now.html">Don</a> is trying to bust his blustery way into the Gulf with landfall tomorrow night.  We've been praying about that one.  No thank you, we will take the Rain Only but Hold the Hurricane Force Winds!<br />
350. <br />
351. Next month will be very busy for me so it's time to get the kitchen all cleaned up and organized, and get our new fall schedule buttoned down!   <br />
352. <br />
353. We still want to get out of town for a few days and are looking for a deal of some kind for us as a family.  We feel we need to get away for just a few days before school starts.  If you know of any deals, please be sure to holler!<br />
354. <br />
355. Well, just a quickie post friends!  Wanted to get your take on the new Google Plus!<br />

370. I just love love LOVE fiery orange, especially when it is coupled with my favorite.....royal majestic Purple! Look at the talent of my fellow artisans on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/NzY3NTI3Nnw0ODk4MDE3MTk/orange-ya-glad">Etsy</a>.    It's pretty fun to curate and love other artists, and making Treasuries is a way to spread around the love! <br />

384. </span><br />
385. When I was growing up, my mom made us believe that head lice was something to be ashamed of, like bed bugs or such horrific little vermin. I remember going to the movie theater, and she would bring a special towel to put behind our heads on the seat backs!  <br />
386. <br />
387. But once we moved to the country we learned that sometime head lice just comes with the territory.  In fact, as I write to you tonight, I am told that if you  have school aged children, chances are, at least one time you may indeed come face to face with this pesky little problem. <br />
388. <br />
389. Doo Do Do Doooooo!    Aromatherapy to the rescue!  Why douse your child with unecessary chemicals yet again?  Nature's pure essential oils have the remedy,  and we have three recipes just for you!<br />

392. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
393. </span><br />
394. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">3.38 oz or 100 ml vegetable oil</span><br />
395. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">10 Drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil</span><br />
396. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">20 Drops Rosemary Essential Oil</span><br />
397. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">20 Drops Lavender Essential Oil</span><br />
398. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">10 Drops Geranium Essential Oil</span><br />

400. </span><br />
401. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
402. </span><br />
403. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Measure out your oils, and funnel into a dark glass container or plastic PET bullet bottle.  Add the prescribed drops of essential oils and shake well to distribute.  Apply this oil mixture to WET HAIR!  This will help you in being able to shampoo out the oils when the treatment is over.  Massage the mixture deep into the scalp and make sure to have it thoroughly cover the hair.  Put on a cap, like a shower cap, or even plastic bag.  Leave on 3 hours, and then shampoo your hair thoroughly.</span><br />
404. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
405. </span><br />
406. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Be sure to remove any dead lice and nits with a fine toothed comb or lice comb, and repeat this same treatment twice more at three day intervals.</span><br />

Cover with a plastic shower cap and leave on for an hour or overnight. Shampoo out the next morning - rub the shampoo in before adding water to get rid of the greasiness of the oil. As a preventative measure add 2 drops of Tea Tree oil and 1 drop of lavender oil to 1 tsp of mild shampoo and use to shampoo hair.</span><br />

544. A Happy Saturday to YOU, fair reader!  What is happening in YOUR neighborhood today?  We got another soft, soaking shower again today in Montgomery County; and the plants are smiling!   <br />
545. <br />
546. Yesterday was my 16th wedding anniversary!   Just a glance over at Wikipedia to quench my undying curiosity to see if perhaps there was an algorythmic or cataclysmic or revelatory siginificance to the number 16.  Wiki revealed two things that stuck out to me:  #1 <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;"><b>16 is the Coming of Age</b></span>, for quite obvious reasons in our culture.  Sweet Sixteen and all the pop culture songs celebrating that magical coming of age.    Digging a little deeper....<br />
547. <br />
548. <blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Sixteen is the fourth (#2) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_(number)"><b>power of two</b></a></span></span>. For this reason, 16 was used in weighing light objects in several cultures. The British used to have 16 ounces in one pound; the Chinese used to have 16<i>liangs</i> in one <i>jin</i>. In old days, weighing was done with a beam balance to make equal splits. It would be easier to split a heap of grains into sixteen equal parts through successive divisions than to split into ten parts. Chinese Taoists did finger computation on the trigrams and hexagrams by counting the finger tips and joints of the fingers with the tip of the thumb. Each hand can count up to 16 in such manner. The Chinese abacus uses two upper beads to represent the 5's and 5 lower beads to represent the 1's, the 7 beads can represent from a hexadecimal digit from 0 to 15 in each column."</span></blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;"><br />
549. </span><br />
550. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">The power of two!   Yep, this has significance to me.  The Bible says that if one can put 1,000 to flight, then two can put 10,000!   Also, Ecclesiastes, that sage book written by Solomon states, "A strand of 3 cords is not easily broken".</span><br />
551. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;"><br />
552. </span><br />
553. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">For me and my husband, our marriage was witnessed by many, but most of, by God Himself.  I like that</span><br />

557. </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">in this photo, loud and clear, and with bold, red italic font, we see here our Solemn Witness, the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself.   As Christians, we make a covenant with God to love unconditionally, and to the end:  One Man, one Woman, and One God.   The very first institution God established was the institution of marriage, in the Garden.  When He instituted that, He also gave Man + Woman dominion over all of His Creation; to rule and to reign.   We see this shattered today in our society as marriage is continually assaulted by those who want to erode our society from the inside out, but nevertheless the testimony of God stands sure; for Scripture says, "The LORD knows them who belong to Him..."   He gives us the power to both will and do His good pleasure.  </span><br />

559. </span><br />
560. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">I guess I am kind of whimsically enthralled with these photos today, being delighted that though they are film pictures, that I could successfully scan them on my Epson Workforce printer and upload them, thus preserving them digitally!  That's pretty exciting to me, since I am a digital girl...heehee....  A big plus, of course, is getting to photoshop these images and have fun with them, and to glory in the fact that the "younger me" was really quite beautiful, if I do say so myself.  ;)   And to vow, however I can, to try to revive that beauty again.....somehow.   </span><br />

563. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">Joe Taylor and I met 4 years before our marriage.   He was fresh from</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">a travelling workman lifestyle, a lifestyle of bravery, hard work,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;"> a rock and roll lifestyle, hard living and hard knocks.   Married at an early age but not willing to really settle down (18 is YOUNG, y'all!) he lost his first wife to divorce and estranged from his little girl.   He has hung iron on scyscrapers, hung over ships welding, hung over mountains, bridges, and trains to leap off, and then hung his heart on me!     I felt honored when he wrote me my first song, gave me his first kiss, and "went steady" on Valentine's Day, 1995.</span><br />
564. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;"><br />
565. </span><br />
566. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">I was the Rambling Girl; travelling 6 states by the age of 6, and then 32 nations by the time I was 30!   Learning how to read and write the Thai Language, braving the Amazon Jungle and River, climbing mountains in Golden Triangle, smuggling Bibles into China,  and living on a ship carrying relief supplies to war torn areas.  I had been lost at sea, lost in sin (before that), lost in Los Angeles, and lost in love.    But when I met Joe, I saw a man who was ready to settle down, and a man who would be true.   We married in July of 1995.</span><br />

607. One good thing that just happened....we received a gentle soaking downpour here in Montgomery, TX!   The trees and grass are smiling.  The puppies are looking in amazement at this strange phenomenon...and we feel refreshed knowing that God is smiling upon us....<br />

618. So you're aware of the recent blood shed on our property, right?  If not, check <a href="http://cassiaskitchen.blogspot.com/2011/06/fox-conundrum.html">here</a>....  So since the bloodshed and the ensuing one by one decimation of our pullet population, and our grief, and woes, we have been keeping our one remaininng Rhode Island Red pullet in our kitty kat carrier on top of my laundry center in the breakfast room.  In the morning, I let the dogs out to use the outdoor facilities, and roam, and sniff and be dogs, and then I corral them, bring them inside, and let our little Lucy out to scratch, peck, eat her breakfast, and remember that she is a baby chicken, not a prisoner of war.    Meanwhile the dogs inside salivate, and lick their chops and generally try to terrify her while she eats her breakfast in my garden....  Here's a picture of her, and I think she is modeling after Casey as her mother,  and hops up to "talk" to us each morning!   We love her.<a href="http://cassiaskitchen.blogspot.com/2011/06/fox-conundrum.html"></a><br />

620. So this morning, Bella, Annie and Lincoln were barking wildly; (actually through the night, I have this dull remembrance of them barking on and off while trying to sleep).  And this morning, as usual, I let them out.....<br />
621. and they proceed to bark wildly, and then run under the porch......  We as a RULE NEVER go UNDER the PORCH.....because all manner and multitudes of reptiles live in it's dark underbelly confines.  I have chased a few snakes quite recently there myself.    So the three dogs are howling and hollering and barking, and I see this little furry creature leave and scurry up the tree, and not just a tiny tree but about 35 feet up high!   And the dogs are WILDLY salivatingly and hysterically barking and pawing at the tree like they could climb it or something.<br />
622. <br />
623. So this morning I go to the chiropractor, and come home, and my daughter has put dog food out and a tiny bowl full of milk and posted it under the tree to feed the poor beasty........<br />
624. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9VNEK1K4smwFS6AaX78gQ3Ub7spDPJOxsh6_Bh5aUaiZMhY9FUNQjR3qabKIShZb12wYjjABqijJzPGs0ypstlds50RAlRFxcCaqPcguFpLdwpslZ9i7GOOFpizussRyyaEQbnO6D9BQ/s1600/SANY6058.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9VNEK1K4smwFS6AaX78gQ3Ub7spDPJOxsh6_Bh5aUaiZMhY9FUNQjR3qabKIShZb12wYjjABqijJzPGs0ypstlds50RAlRFxcCaqPcguFpLdwpslZ9i7GOOFpizussRyyaEQbnO6D9BQ/s400/SANY6058.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>See the little black furry dot in the center?  There she is!  I have always LOVED racoons, and wanted one as a pet...Yeah, right.  They can be totally vicious, but I still think they are cuties.<br />
625. <br />
626. So now, we have a chicken in a kitty cat carrier on top of my washing machine, and a baby raccoon clinging for dear life camped out on a tree branch, and three Mini Schnauzers who want to kill the chicken, AND the racoon, who is not budging, by the way, and probably will not until the sun goes down.   And meanwhile, if the racoon sees the pullet who will eventually need to go outside to use the facilities and to stretch her poor legs, but will surely meet her demise if we leave her unattended at alll.........<br />
627. <br />
628. Do you see the predicament we are in?   Yep.  It's a stalemate all right!<br />
629. <br />
630. But then again, that's life in the wild.<br />
631. <br />
632. Oh! Baby!  I'ts a Wild World!   Oh well, call me a hippy!  It just reminded me of the song, the chorus!<br />
633. <br />
634. <object height="390" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y8pvXLVu8Yk&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/y8pvXLVu8Yk&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object><br />
635. <br />
636. So in the end, I fear our FOX may in reality be a racoon, or a family of racoons who has killed all of our chickens.  My husband reminds me that that is nature, and that is "what they do", but still I try to protect all life here, except poisonous snakes. <br />
637. <br />

687. Here's to tea!<br />

692. I love tea, and tea pots and tea cups.  <br />
693. I've  been toying with the idea of learning  how to blend teas and start selling some in addition to my soaps....have a couple of blends in my mind but need to do more research.   <br />
694. <br />
695. Tea is a trend to watch I believe....and there's money to be made in it!  Why let's Starbucks have all the action?  Besides, I use tea in my soaps and it is a wonderful antioxidant....<br />
696. <br />
697.
