I know I'm a day late and a dollar short. I have a good excuse. I was on a short trip to Minnesota and did not get home till later in the day. 
First here is the first of the month picture of the swing. (I did take one last night after we got home)
 As you can see the food plot the husband planted is growing nicely. 
I suppose your wondering what is in front of it now.
Let me show you.
It's our version of a fire pit area. It's not completely done yet but it is usable now. We plan on making a kind of planter around three sides where I hope to plant plants that help keep mosquitoes away. Plus on the corners will be places to hang containers for candles. I finally found what I wanted. They already have citronella candles in them. Now to get the right kind of weekend and it will be the perfect place to chill out.

  I have not been working on any plastic canvas projects. I can't seem to get myself in the mood. Maybe when it starts getting colder again I will. And according to some people it just might be that kind of winter.

As for ponders, there are a lot I could ponder.
Like politics.
It's not looking good.
It's getting to the point that it's just nothing but a mud feast. And with Trump having no filter it's going to be the worst one yet. If he becomes the president it will bring about the end of the US that much faster. 
We complain about bullies, he's the worst of the worst.

I wonder if he really wanted to use a different finger in this picture.
If you think the tea party people are bad, this guy is a whole lot worse.

This guy is just as bad. I'm from Wisconsin so I know what he could do. His recent idea of building a fence along the US Canadian boarder is nuts. Who will pay for that one? 
Could you imagine if Trump and Walker had their way building fences on both boarders. We just might as well call it the Great Walls of Stupid. Or maybe they think that since there is no wall in Germany any more that we should have one just like it. A new history of a cold war on the word. The USA vs. the Whole World.

As for Hillary Clinton,

I would love to see a woman president but I don't think she is the right one. To many questions about to many things.

As for what seams like open season on police, KNOCK IT OFF!!!!
No one deserves to die at any ones hands no matter who you are! ALL LIVES MATTER!!!!

How many more times will we learn about something like this?
The only thing that will come of this continued activity is a total state of paranoia, worse then it is now.
Freedom will be a thing of the past.
The biggest questions are; 
How do we as a nation change for the better?
 How do we get trust of one another back?
 When can we look past our differences?  
Will we ever be able to judge on true personality and not bad stereo type? 

So many things to think about for better change. Can we ever do it or will we continue on the path of self destruction?

Well that's all I have to ponder today. I hope to be able to post sooner then once a month, soon. 
Till next time.
Keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.

Jean Viken Cold Case

When I first started this blog one of the first things I wrote about was the murder of a local woman. She disappeared Jan 29th 2008 on one of the coldest days of that month. Her body was found I think in May of that year. She had been shot. Her van was found not long after she went missing up north. She was the mother of 4 young children and was going through a divorce at the time. Well here it is 2 years later and nothing has happened to try and find the person or persons responsible for her death. Why? I'm sure the whoever was responsible was really not that smart. It's as if the no one wants to get to the bottom of what really happened to her. Maybe she was not important enough. Maybe she was not connected to the right people.  I wonder what it would take to get more exposure to this cold case. If there was more pressure from some place else maybe the ones responsible would start to panic and make mistakes to expose the truth. It's time the truth was exposed. Remembe

Jean Viken update and other local things.

This past week Channel 7 has been doing stories on the cold case of Jean Viken.I did see one of them. In it the police said they know who did it but they are waiting for someone to come forward. But no matter what four young children will be without their mother for the rest of their lives because someone decided to end her life out of the meanness of their heart. Here is the story I found on the internet: Jean Viken's friends and family remember her as a loving mother of four young kids, a devoted daughter and sister. But nearly four years after her murder, a dark cloud hangs over Jean's memory, as they continue to search for answers. "We were having a birthday party for her because all of her friends would have wanted to get together like we would have done if she was here," Jane Hempel said. Almost five months after Jane Hempel reported her sister Jean Viken missing, family and friends gathered to celebrate her birthday, hoping to feel some semblance o

Pondering Japan's Earthquake

Image
The earthquake in Japan is just another wake up call for us. It is so far the largest disaster we are dealing with right now. And with all those nuclear power plants having problems there, it will get a whole lot worse.  The earth is talking to us. Telling us the big change is upon us. Instead of fighting wars in other countries we should be preparing our people for this big change that will change our home, planet Earth, in a way that will make life allot more difficult to survive.  Japan had prepared for this kind of event to a point, but this kind of event to this degree is never fool proof.  My heart does go out to all those who are living through this right now.  I will give one prediction for the near future that some might say makes me sound like a crack pot but it is always a possibility.  Here it is: With all the things happening right now natural disasters and political unrest big changes are inevitable. Governments will fall apart, America included. People will have to rel
