Ant's Know !!

Corine was right !

My Mom told me about the ants.
"When you see them building mounds, you are gonna get a LOT of rain "
It proved correct in OK in 75 when we got 5 inches in an hour, and today IRENE is coming our way.
Look near the center of the photo.
They are about an inch and a half high, and all over the yard.

I wonder if they have cable and listen to ActionNews 6 ?

Update: 2 days later, and we got 9 inches of rain in the old plastic bucket in the back yard. No trees down, but were without power for about 20 hours. Lousy sleep with no electricity, no noise in the house, just wind blowing like CRAZY outside, and rain coming down, down, down.

Oh, CANADA..

Just got back from Canada,
[Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec, and points in-between.]

Now I know why I like that place.
1. Everyone is so Darn Healthy, because,
They Walk or Bike EVERYWHERE.
2. They get Govt Healthcare for everyone, so they go right when they get sick, and don't delay because of "The Money" and so, it does not get worse.

Nice people, nice place.

Cheddar Bay Biscuits

MMMMMM.... sounds like a good appetizer,

[Some recipes for this also add butter,
and use Milk vs Water. That sounds tasty, too.]

Cheddar Bay type Biscuits
4 cups of bisquick
1 & 1/3rd cup of water
4 oz of shredded sharp cheddar

Mix until as firm as your resolve.

Scoop out with an Ice Cream scooper,
space evenly on a cookie sheet,
bake at 375 F for 10 to 12 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine:
1/2 cup of salted butter
[melt in microwave for 20 sec's ]
1/8th tsp of garlic powder
1/8th tsp of onion powder
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/8 tsp salt
a grind of black pepper

Once they come out of the oven,
just brush the heck out of them.
MMMMM !!!!
