My wife does not like the domesticated blueberries. She was raised with
the small wild northern berries and complains that the larger cultivated
berries have no flavour.

I was out working in the back yard this morning and forgot to check on
my rhubarb plants. I had only enough rhubarb for one pie two years ago
and last year year I had none so I dug it up and moved it about 60 feet
further from the black walnut tree that killed it. I may have to move
it right to the far back on the other side of the second stream where
there are no black chestnuts. I
It will mean about `150 yard walk to harvest my rhubarb, but that is
better than walking only 15 yards but having none to pick.

I agree. They tend to be a bit mealy.

There is a certain logic in that.

Whether you see it or not, the rest of us do and there's no need
for anyone to be that nasty. If he's going to stir the pot:

Everything is going crazy here other than the blackberries, which are

The sitch I think I can safely say is "fecund"...

"...producing or capable of producing an abundance of offspring or new growth; fertile.
"a lush and fecund garden"

I'm certainly familiar with the word, and Jill loves it when I post
stuff from my book.

*****
Winter whispered in Ann's ear, "Watch Ian when he's on the ride. You
know how I notice things. Well, Ian intentionally positions himself to
check out girls. I mean, even with me there he does. Not little girls,
but teenage ones, and especially the young moms."
..
Ian asked, "What are you two whispering about?"
..
"Oh, I was telling Ann about how you like the carousel early in the
morning, when there are lots of women to check out. You see, I've
observed you twice in this environment, and it easily could have been
the same event." Winter started laughing. There was no one close
enough to hear, no one else. It was just they three. "You scope out
all the women and intentionally orient us so that you can see them."
Winter continued to laugh as she recounted, "Ian, I think it's charming.
You don't leer. You're so careful not to, and I almost wish that I
hadn't said those things in the car, because I noticed that you, and you
too, Ann, found it a little much, but I need to say things. That's what
I do. I say things. I say things that I figure need to be said, and I
don't let myself not say them because the timing might not be right. If
I try, it's almost always wrong, so I don't try."
..
"What I was telling Ann wasn't a confidence. The whispering was more
for drama than anything else, and I'm glad you asked. Do it, Ian. Look
at that one." Winter pointed and snorted. "She's hot and she's got two
kids. You're thinking, 'Fecund,' and she's got a little boy and a
little girl, and you're thinking you wished that you could have," after
coughing out a laugh, "impregnated her. I mean it Ian, charming."

Greg has to. Joan's one of the very few who act as if he's a person
worth talking to. You're his only competition when it comes to
nastiness.

True, I have a big pecan, they also 'dicourage' most other things
growing near them.

Meantime, Apple trees blooming! Last year a bad storm took all the
blooms off but looks better this year.

Cute. He's *always* that nasty. Has been ever since I called him out
for forging posts years ago.

Yet some of the people who we think are relatively normal insist on
responding to them and quoting their offensive crap.

To be accurate, Greg was getting sloppy, not desperate.
Someone (Jill?) noticed that he forget who he was posting as.

The last time I "pranked" Jill was several years ago, when I posted the infamous "Aunt Jemima Cookie Jar" thread...

I did *not* post the infamous "A Big Mean Hawk carried off my poor Kitty Buffy" Jill "spoofing" post...

From the syntax of that post, I'd say it was Steve, but who knows...???

Are you referring to Joan, who's chummy with nasty megatroll Greg?
