Q & A with @whiskeyradish.bsky.social

She asks what's the doc saying to Darlah.

My answer:

Nurse Anna said, don't worry, I wrote it all down for you Darlah.
The doc prescribed
Yellow Cantaloupe,
Green Beans,
Red Cabbage,
Blueberries,
And any damn color
Fried Chicken you want.

just over here thinking about "the good ole days"

And of course I can’t make it through Ecclesiastes without noting its most important verse.

Ecclesiastes 12:12:

I2 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

Watermelon tastes great on a hot summer day but did you ever think about how it gets to your table? "Angelica" is hard at work in Yuma AZ harvesting watermelons. The peak season lasts thru July. She shares, "It's 111°. It's very tiring to work in this heat." #WeFeedYou
