Hey, did you hear about the farmer who was out standing in his field?
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, time for bad farmers' jokes?
I've got one more appropriate to the season.
Q: Why did the snowman drop his pants? A: Because he saw the snowblower approaching!
And, yes, that's a joke I first heard in junior high.

Q: Why did the farmer throw the clock out the window? A: He wanted to see time fly.
Umm... I'm not sure what being a farmer had to to with it. Maybe he wasn't.

National Geographic Traveler contributing editor Andrew Evans snapped this photo of a rare black penguin during his travels around the world to Antarctica.
He wrote that it’s a "rare melanistic trait that’s practically undocumented" on king penguins.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Our farmers` market is closed during the winter and only open one day a week during the harvest seasons. But I can get local organic free range eggs at the kitchen store and they are NOM so much better. You can tell a huge difference in the darkness and richness of color in the yolk. And in taste too, obvs, but you can see it too. My farmer neighbor also sells eggs, and I check on the chickens all the time driving by (they look happy) but since he doesn`t put out his veggie sign in winter, I`m afraid to stop by just for eggs.

My mother's middle name is also Elizabeth.
When she was born, my grandparents had only discussed what her name would be if she was a boy, so when she turned out to be a girl, Grandma was at a complete loss as to what to call her. Grandpa immediately proclaimed her Shirleymae Elizabeth. No idea where it came from.
I miss my farmers' market which doesn't come back until May, but at least one of the fruit stands nearby is year-round, so I'm not completely lacking in fresh local produce and eggs. Need to go get eggs and whatever, in fact, maybe tomorrow.

Sarameg, speaking of farmers markets and las cruces, just a reminder to ping your mom about that jewelry holder. I still want it! :)

Oh, I mentioned it to her last weekend, but I suspect it got lost in the swirl of other Stuff going on with her. I'll email her, that'll stick.

I share a name with my paternal Great-Grandmother who was Elizabeth Kathryn Vehre.
I love Farmers' Market. We went this week. All we got were sprouts and daffodils, but still very happymaking.
We had wings for dinner at a sports bar. I was almost ballistic with the manager who wanted to change one of the 8 bajillion TVs off of Women's Curling.
