Making enough tomato boxes for fourteen different varieties with at least half dozen of each means we need a lot of wood. We didn’t want treated lumber and the boards we could get from the major lumber suppliers was really too expensive. What to do? Since we live in the country we asked around and found a sawmilla few miles from us.
The sawmill has been run by two brothers ages eighty-two and eighty-six for the last forty odd years. These brothers are a wonderful working pair who get a great deal of enjoyment from being an important job for the community. There is no one in their family who is interested in continuing the mill after them which I think is a dirty rotten shame. But these guys are fabulous and provide raw lumber for whomever comes to their little sawmill located behind their house. The lumber is raw and uncured and odd sized, but it is wonderful for farm and garden needs for rough structures and fencing and tables and such like. Plane some of the older aged ones and you could get some finer projects.
The brothers’ sawmill is their little business that helps the community and keeps them young and busy, what could be a better arrangement? Do remember to wear gloves as those splinters are big! I think my tomato boxesmade from raw lumber are grand and my dear husband and son are already done with six of them, hummm I wonder how many more?
Last couple of weeks I’ve been waiting to get the all clear for frost free planting into their tomato boxes. I am 95 % sure it is safe now. So I think these little tomato plants need some breathing and growing room and here they are getting ready to go into the wider world. I’m surely no garden expert, but really there is nothing to do now but plant and tend and hope and pray and wait for the tomatoes. 😀

"Elbow room!" said Daniel Boone. These tomatoes are crowded! And the peppers are coming on too.
SO HOW About that mythological (Rothschild heir’s grand ‘Plastiki’ voyage to expose the supposed garbage patch in the Pacific that in myth grew to twice the size of Texas, it turned out that it was Plastic Jesus Rothschild prepping for CO2 taxation along with Al Gore and Copenhagen 2010. Global Warming. Etc. They all stood to make billions from taxing our exhalations (along with our cows’ farts too).
But school children were treated to the brainwash the voyage of the ‘Plastiki’ a catamaran supposedly made from just plastic bottles. Give me a break! it was an engineering marvel that did not stay afloat from those empty pepsi bottles, duh! Look at it for yourself!
I want to ask what in heaven’s name is Christian about being a climatologist…………… HUH?????? What breed of scientist is that? Isn’t it an oxymoron to add the designation “Christian” to your job title to give you gravitas by tacking your belief system onto your resume?
What are we supposed to draw from a scientist who seems to indicate that we should believe their scientific thesis not because they have experiential proofs? No, but rather that because they are believers in Christ as we are Scripturally told to “……….prefer one another……….”
Oxymorons
How we love them, we must as we love to listen to those who disavow everything spiritual and everything scientific in their efforts to entangle and hoodwink the entire world into enslaving taxation and regulation upon every physical asset known on earth starting with the air we breathe and the water we drink!

What does that say about us? Maybe a lot. Maybe we like rose colored glasses? Maybe we hear what we want to hear? Maybe we want the easy life? Maybe we like being driven about by every wind that blows? Maybe we don’t want to take responsibility for our choices? Maybe we want someone else to take the blame for our shortfalls? Maybe we want denyability? Maybe we don’t really care to know truth?
Just slap an oxymoron onto any issue,
That’ll do the trick,
Don’t worry your head,
Wiser brains will give you the pablum you crave to soothe your burdened intellect,
Pardon will be granted?
I’m afraid not. Because ignorance, as they say, is no excuse.
Try the spirits, especially those who act as your guides in science.
