Death of a Refrigerator
By Destiny Dawn | May 29, 2008
One of the common household items that we take for granted most.
The refrigerator.
This one appliance can bring the daily operations of a home to a dead stop when it malfunctions.
Like life out here on this isolated valley isn’t hard enough my fridge decides to take a crap.
At first I thought it needed a good defrosting. A few years ago it acted up from ice built up on the freezer coils. So I unplugged it, let it thaw for a couple of days and plugged it back in. A few hours later I realized it was not getting cold. And to my dismay by that evening the motor had stopped running completely.
Now I got several problems. No fridge for starters.
I am 15 miles from the nearest town, where to find a cheap used fridge quick?
The farm truck doesn’t have valid street tags …. how do I haul a new one when I find one?
And .. what in the world can I do with the old one?
I’ve been reading the classifieds and very few people will deliver - I can’t afford delivery charges for those who do!
I have considered calling rent a center - at least they deliver - but then I am stuck paying twice what the fridge will be worth.
Maybe I should call around and get estimates from appliance repair men? I don’t even know of any in the area. Hrmmm.. I guess tomorrow I let my fingers do the walking and see what I come up with in the phone book.
What a pain!

Holy Crap That’s Just UGLY
By Destiny Dawn | May 10, 2008
My back porch was my sanctuary until this big ugly spider decided to sun itself. I got the broom and swept it WAY out in the yard after getting these photos. I have been a little on edge ever sense. I’m just glad I seen it before it got to close.
I have no idea what type of spider this is … but it isn’t welcome on my porch.

A modern twist to an old story
By Destiny Dawn | May 6, 2008
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
——————————————-
MODERN VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green.’
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome.’ Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.
Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.
Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2008

The Plowing of the Garden
By Destiny Dawn | April 30, 2008
If your a farmer this might not be such a big deal.
For me, an internet marketer enjoying my second summer on the farm - this is a big deal!
We don’t even own a hoe! —->yet
The second photo is taken from the hillside out the homestead. The tall house on the left is where I live, the home on the right is where my girlfriend Vickie lives. I took this photo while up on the hill mushroom hunting. Didn’t find a darn mushroom anywhere … will be going hunting again tomorrow.
Will keep ya’all updated.
