Sure glad I got our yard and the one next door mowed yesterday. I found about .05" of rain in my gauge when I got up this morning, but it wasn't raining and didn't really start until about 1 p.m. It's been a very slow, but fairly steady and light rain and is still raining, and only up to almost .60". Of course that's giving it time to soak in really good.

Gorgeous flowers and view. Think you made the right decision not to mow (plus the steep hill is another good reason ).

Had over three inches of rain everything is throughly soaked thru and thru

Sounds like most had a good day

Had to lock the rear diff to get back up to the top at the start of the cut or the tires would just spin on the green grass.:shocked: Not my idea of a good time...

Don, how are you going to catch the varmint?

David- That's a nice "double" rainbow and w/o filters and fancy camera. Thanks for sharing.

RNG- Awesome marble machine video. I had an "Arts Major" roommate in college that had to do a marble run w/i a timeframe. The amount of thought, effort, and fine tuning was incredible. It was "fun" to work out the variables. And thank you for the video of your place. I will never complain about my slope now. I get Blue Gentians and Indian Paintbrush here that impact on mowing patterns here. Still dealing with April showers and Spring thawing here. I would not consider this time of year in NE a pretty one, but the birds are singing.

That was good.

Got a good start on mowing, done for the day as I watch for the UPS truck. Left the gate open for him, so hopefully will drive down.

Don- I am trying to wrap my head around all this diet stuff. When I first got sick the high levels of steroids saving my life pushed my poor pancreas over the edge and I became a brittle diabetic. My liver was not a happy camper either. I/We started the "Joslin Diabetic Diet" which evolved to the "South Beach"/"Mediterranean Diet" as I improved and became just a boring, well maintained, insulin dependent diabetic and got a "little loose" with the diet until today. Although my focus is on anti-inflammatory foods the secondary benefit would reduce my ?borderline? high cholesterol levels because there is so much in common with the plant based diet. Inflammatory foods include sugar, artificial sweeteners and additives, all seed based vegetable oils (depends on processing) with the exception being E.V. olive oil and coconut oil (I am really confused about peanut oil?),fried foods, refined/processed flour, dairy products with the possible exception of yogurt?,artificial anything, all grain fed meats especially if the meat has antibiotics and hormones, all processed meats, and all fast foods. Soy products are confusing me. I should cut out the martinis and light beer too, but I am not there yet. My new blood sugar baseline = 140 = I called my primary doctor to get my expired prescription for test strips renewed. I need to start testing more regularly to help get a handle on all this.

Do you have the wrong info on olive oil? Omega 6 is inflammatory. Olive oil has a poor ratio of omega 6 to 3 it is 14 to 1. The goal is 4 to 1
Concerning olive oil go to 2 minute mark in this video please: Olive Oil Is Not Healthy - Michael Klaper MD - YouTube

Also listen to reason number 2 here concerning all oils
5 Reasons to Avoid Oils In A Healthy Diet - YouTube

Really i see no reason for oils, eat the whole food not just the liquid fat from the food, it makes no sense.
We saute', make pancakes, french fries, etc. . with no oil. If it calls for oil in a recipe we substitute applesauce. Who needs the liquid fat with all those extra calories and inflammation with the disproportion ratio of omega 6 to 3?
