Red sky at night, sailor's delight.
We finally got our dressers moved down.
I bought this bedroom outfit when I was stationed at Ft Belvoir, VA, in 1985, for $750 from an antique dealer. I was very brave. There was a vanity that went with it. I knew it would not fit in the new bedroom. I gave it away to someone who loved it. It was the right thing to do.
Something that makes me laugh everytime I drive past it. A local business man who is quite an odious fellow put a message up on the sign in front of one of his businesses. "God Bless MAGA".
Some hero snuck up there and swiped two letters: an M and a G. The sign now reads 'God bless AA'.
I laugh every time I drive past it. Mr businessman has not seemed to notice it so far.
Possum is the next cat to be neutered. She has begun to come in the house to eat, which got her lavishly fed as a reward. She will be much easier to catch.
I needed to pick up a bag of potatoes yesterday. Much to my surprise, they had a 5 lb bag of russet potatoes for $8.49! I could not believe it.
Did I buy those potatoes?
No.
I will pay that kind of money when pigs fly.
So you'll be growing potatoes next year. I probably pay more because I never purchase by the bag. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteHow do you buy potatoes?
DeleteI'm afraid we'll pay that much and more for potatoes unless we have our own potato patch.
ReplyDeleteNext year we will try to make that happen
DeleteThe photo of the Red sky at night, is really awesome and exotic. I hope that I see such thing in the sky right now here my friend
ReplyDeleteI hope you do to, Asep.
DeleteOh boy, I have not checked potato prices lately . . . Potatoes are one of my favorite food groups!
ReplyDeleteLovely bedroom - your new house is so pretty.
#GodBlessAA - I love it!
I paused to check potato prices at our Aldi - $5.19 for 10 lbs. I think I will get some tomorrow so I can enjoy before the prices catch up to me.
I did not get the $8.49 russets, but I did get white potatoes for $5.49, with a BOGO. So 10 Lbs for $5.49 which was bad enough. We will need to go to buy 50 lbs in Waterford. We usually pay around $23 so, we will see.
DeleteI'm at present enjoying potatoes I grew from a bag of small potatoes that had started sprouting...organic, so not treated to inhibit growth....a good start!
ReplyDeleteCan we hire this sneaky, swifty sign adjuster? Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteHere we say 'red sky at night Sheppard's delight', Prices of potatoes like everything else is only going up.
ReplyDeleteLike gz, we grew our own potatoes this year from some local spuds from the Farmers Market that had begun to sprout. They turned out really well so we'll try the same again.
ReplyDeleteNorthsider Dave will give you some tips!
Yes, great job the orange oaf is doing, everything is more expensive. I bought a roll of non-stick foil the other day, it was $14! FOR FOIL! What a great thing you are doing with the cats.
ReplyDeleteHumour will eventually bring the bastards down;) AA. And to echo the 'red sky at night, shepherds delight, red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning' Apparently it comes from the bible but I don't think it is true.
ReplyDeleteI found this: he concept of the phrase can be traced to the Bible's Gospel of Matthew, where a similar sentiment is expressed by Jesus to the Pharisees.
DeleteJesus observes that a red sky at sunset predicts fair weather, while a red sky in the morning indicates foul weather, a saying he uses to illustrate that people are skilled at interpreting the weather from the sky's appearance.
ReplyDeleteShepherds and sailors and anyone else having to work out of doors learn to observe the skies and dress accordingly.
Prices are rising almost daily - it's very hard for those on a tight budget and will only get worse as the weather cools and hard decisions have to be made.
AA in UK stands for Automobile Association or Alcoholics Anonymous!
