They give you no reason not to be and every reason to be. I wish I were more like that. <br />No, honey. No sign of B.B.<br /><br />Syd- These guys had big equipment including one of those giant things that picks up heavy stuff. Front end loader? I don't know. I mean, they were equipped. <br /><br />Jill- You're right- these are the things that matter. Deeds. And attitude.<br /><br />SJ- The other guys were cute as hell too. Sweet, sweet country boys. <br /><br />Ellen Abbott- The widow's mite. Some things never, ever change. Human nature, for one.<br /><br />Birdie- Me too. I really enjoyed talking to those guys. We discussed trees and chickens and hogs and growing grapes. What better?<br /><br />Allison- There are many varieties of oaks. The Live Oak is just one of them. <br /><br />Elizabeth- I felt shy to spy on them too much. I really wanted to though.<br /><br />Steve Reed- I'm about to start cookies here in a few minutes. <br /><br />Bugerlugs- Not an uncommon expression here. Trust me. <br /><br />Stubblejumpingal- Mr. Moon goes up to Canada to hunt with this guy. He is returning favor.

I was listening on the radio today on my drive into the city, where I am now for an appointment early in the morning tomorrow, about how the more well off you are, the less compassionate you are. That poor communities are close and compassionate because everyone depends on everyone else. Once you become well off and no longer need a helping hand you stop lending one as well. While rich people do viva a lot to charity it comes to just over 2% of their income. Poor people give just over 4% of their income so while the dollar amount isn't as much, the percentage of their income is greater.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-73539414045043533692013-09-03T22:46:07.750-04:002013-09-03T22:46:07.750-04:00Well, maybe no on giving Ethan my number :)

It fortifies me too when I meet people like that or hear about them (like here on your blog!). It reminds me that we are all just plugging along in this life we've got and so many people are just plain old good. Not necessarily perfect or holy or any of that nonsence, but good.

The rest of the wood has been split and stacked. Many cords from the tree falling. Another one to take care of on the property eventually. Whew--never a dull moment.
