Apples, Bailouts, and Carnivals Oh My!
- October 4, 2008 by Fox | Comments: 9
I had knee surgery, took some painkillers, and when I woke up I saw apples. An orchard filled with luscious, delicious, juicy apples. Luckily, I wasn’t dreaming. Fall has arrived on our little organic farm and now is the time to pluck ripe fruit from the heavenly trees. Except, my “better half” did the apple picking. I sat on my a$$ watching him collect the forbidden fruit. How much longer can I work my recovery? I digress.
I spent some time reading lots of bloggy blogs this week. I’m sharing some fun things, some delicious things, and some billion dollar bailout things. Be sure to visit these top notch writers.
