The Peppercorns are Finally Here!



The peppercorns are here!
The peppercorns are here!!

Peppercorn trees grown here in So Cali-- usually planted as decorations , they can grow to well over 80 feet, like skyscrapers. A sure sign of fall is the brilliant yellow little flowers, that become these pink pods. If you open them, you can see the peppercorn forming inside. I've been watching the cycle of these trees for 13 years, and I never tire of their beauty. Take a minute to enjoy---

Looks like Mamma needs another box of round tuits! After I posted, we had a paperwork snowstorm, so another hiatus. I have returned. I want to thank anyone who visited. I really appreciated the comments and good thoughts after the whirlwind! I began to dream about paperwork in my sleep! GYAK!




Well, my co-workers and I did something different-- we have been snowed under SO bad with paperwork, that every spare moment the DO NOT INTERRUPT-- MEETING IN PROCESS signs when on the doors, and the rattling of keyboards was deafening as we tried to finish off the piles before the weekend. We did it! With sheepish smiles, we slunked out of the building. These are my two buds, Angie and Espie-- they are wonderful-- if it weren't for them, I'd be bald from pulling my hair out. We go out to dinner once a month, and that group has doubled. I made a sketch of us as the "Bernadelli Insurance Society girls"-- they jus cracked up and said they were beginning to feel that way-- the paperwork is supposed to be only a fraction of the job, but hey-- doesn't paperwork feed on itself!

I have made a greeting card with Vash recommending you all take 2 donuts and call back in the morning! I will be putting a larger version of it in fan art a little later (must go to Kinko's as Chester ate the scanner program!)

Pay Day!! Time to start looking for a new computer--- Chester, fear Mamma, and tremble-- she now has the down payment on a NEW comp MWAHAHA!


Vash (lip trembling)"Whaaa waa are you going to do to Chester, I mean was he that bad? He should be allowed to make a mistake...
Mamma: "like taking a bite out of your boots?"
Vash(steaming mad):"Chester would not have done that if you didn't glomp him with them!"(wiggles toe out of boot hole)
Wolfwood (cackling)"Shoulda done what I did-- hide your boots!"

I will be keeping Chester to learn how to do some basic hardware work, and practice really basic stuff that I probably never mastered. One day, I hope to actually be somewhat computer literate!

My friends here at MyO are really wonderful-- check out some great poetry, stories and art. I love you folks, and want to send you a big hug, and something special, because you have all taken time to share something of yourself with me:
