Micah 6:8
Romans 14:1-3
Yes, your life matters.
Some of you are still sheltering in place, but fear not: I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?
Dogs are crazy, but each one seems crazy in an individual way. Billie, our current, goat-like dog, likes to eat grass (like a goat) and has discovered the joys of Brussels sprouts as well.
Each year we grow a few stalks of Brussels sprouts in our garden, but we don't harvest them until winter - after a good frost or two and maybe even a nice coating of snow. They stay fresh on the stalk that way, and the cold weather sets the sugars in the sprouts, so they taste far better than the boiled, fart-smelling sprouts of the youth of many a reader here.
I highly recommend doing this.
Unless, of course, you're possessed of a dog like Billie, who seems possessed with the need to eat our sprouts. Being a goat in dog form, she not only likes to eat things that don't make sense, she also capers and leaps in a very caprine way. This means the garden fence is essentially no trouble to her at all. She simply bounds over the fence, eats some sprouts, and bounds back into the yard.
Well, imagine my chagrin at finding that today is Eat Brussels Sprouts Day. I would be more upset had I not just bought some at the market, knowing I needed to replace the once already consumed by Billie.
What a snot she is. It's a good thing she's cute and sweet.
Keep Calm and Don't Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
