Give me Tetley tea bags any day!
Earl Grey is yeeeauch!
Nope, the nearest windmills are up on the moors, a 20 minute drive away, but in today's paper they are talking about putting them above Rochdale which is quite close.

That's so funny!  I'm sitting here having a tea break from some gardening and I'm drinking Tetley tea!  I like it as well.

Earl Gray, and Tetly yecch  but the best I have had is Typhoo.  Memories Pat?

Well 10 pm here night all.

Goodnight, Chris!

Here's something for Iain before he retires for the night.

Hello to...


Ursula, Mieka, Iain, Jane Walker, Marilyn
I see you are all online right now.

  hi Ms Pat

HAHAHAHA!

I like your other photo better, Mieka!  That is so funny!

 oops, Ms PAT caught me lurking again  

Hi MIEKO ... c'mon now ... give us a better picture of you than that!  hahaha

The most amazing sight I have seen of windmills was in California.  On the mountains there are rows upon rows of three bladded windmills.  California has an energy problem, yet these windmills remain still.  I don't know why, I have never seen an explaination for that.  

Where we live we are on a hill and there is always a breeze.  With a windmill to generate energy it is my understanding that you only need 2 - 3 mile per hour winds.  We are working on the logistics of installing one here, and sharing it with the neighbour I do the lawns for.

Well supper is over and the girls are itching for a swim again.  We are on a dug well and the evening swim sure saves water! ! !  I may just go in this time! LOL

Blessings to all

Probably because of the energy problem that California is having is the reason for the windmills being run by wind and not electricity.

There is quite a lot of wind in the Palm Springs where these fans are. I think I have a picture of this. I will try to find it.

But if they are STILL then they are not generating anything!

We have a windfarm over by Montezuma, and they are getting ready to build one near Hugoton.  They don't interfere too much with the scenery here!  We can still see the wheat fields underneath them.

I heard there has been a monkey running around in here.......where did it go??

  I have no idea ms Janet, I did not see one -  

Dear Mieka, you're so good for us here!  You always make us either smile, or burst right out laughing!  Such cute graphics!!  Thanks, Sweetie.

My son Roger works for a place called Hydraulic Controls and in his younger days (in his 20's) he worked on those windmills in the Altamont pass by Livermore California.On I- 580. He would be up on top straddle of the thing in the wind wearing climbing gear to keep him up there while he repaired them.He said that the stand would be going back and forth in the wind. There are also a lot of them between Mojave and Tehachapi on Highway 58.

Another new photo Mieka? I like the other one better.

  Thank you Ms Janet, you are so kind to me.

When I spend time with so many of the ones I love from here at home, it is often SO sad to me when they all must go away again. I often feel all alone in the world for some time after. It is wonderful to come here and spend time with friends and learn.
Yesterday I was in the garden house, it was a sad day for me. I was sad that I am not as good as others in so many ways. I cut some flowers from the rose and a tiny frog came out to see me. He had only three legs.

At that moment this tiny frog was more perfect than any other. I love God.

At times when I have only three legs, I hope I can be the perfect friend to all of you here. and I hope you can forgive me at times when I am not strong.

Mieko I don't know how you could be any more perfect!  You are precious to all of us and I, for one, hope you never change.    I'm sorry you are often sad ...

P.S. This is a lovely picture of you (at the moment) ...  

Mieka ~ We love you just as you are and so does Jesus! You are our greatest delight! I like all your photo's of yourself! You are beautiful.

A man in Piqua, Ohio where I lived installed one of those wind-generators, but there wasn't always enough wind to propel it. I have only seen it operating twice that I can remember. It was said it took 12 mile an hour wind/breeze for it to produce enough current to charge the batteries he had in his basement!

During my many trips between Oklahoma and California (twice a year for 10 years) and other trips to and from Laughlin, AZ, I could always count on seeing those windmills on Hwy 58 over the Tehachapi mountains.  A good conversation piece ... that is whenever I had someone along to have a conversation with!  

I will stop in for just a minute to give a report on Cornelia.

Al, I hope your wife is OK.  I know it is disturbing when something is not right and you don't know what it is.

Mieka, I like your new picture and like Jerry I like all of your pictures.

Cornelia had a blood transfusion today because she had lost a lot of blood in internal bleeding.  She has had some angina and nausea.  This afternoon she was feeling much better.  The doctor said he may keep her in the hospital for another few days.  Thank you so much for your prayers.

You guys have been gabby today!!!!  WOW!

Iain ~ I will take these power lines any day between a sunset and me rather than a high rise or a forest or even a big mountain.  Now a body of water would be better with waves and cruise ships going back and forth or a sail boat or a whale breeching or some rocks jutting out of the water or, well, you get the idea!

Papa John ~ My thoughts and prays have been going heavenward for Cornelia and you today.  How is Cornelia?

Mieka ~ I am sad because you are sad.  I hope me being sad takes the sadness away from you or at least, know that you are not sad alone.  OKAY!!!  Now, be happy!!!!!!!

Windfarms ~ I have seen these 3-bladed fan at various places while traveling in the continental US of A.  I think California was the first place I saw them and, at that time I didn't have a clue what they were there for or did.  I have yet to know how irrigation worked in a round field....

Marilyn ~ Roger working on those fans is like the guys that fixes these power lines while on a helicopter...they don't make enough money to do that!!!

Pat ~ I like all your little smileys.  I am still thinking about putting all of them on a thread for all to use!!

My classmate and I had a great lunch.  My, but she has a lot of medical problems.  I guess my little ailments are nothing to compared to hers and she is still working.  But all and all, it was great.

I pray that everyone had a great night's rest and wake up rested and refresh to spend a new day with our Lord.

I'm just jumping in to say "hi!"  I am going to bed early tonight as we are heading out at the crack of dawn tomorrow to go to the beach with a local youth group.  we will be back sometime on Sunday, then home for four days, then off again to Indiana/Illinois -- woohoo (get to see some crzy folks up there.

Take care and try not ot miss me to badly, okay!

WE WILL MISS YOU KARMA!!!

I have a class to teach tomorrow morning so posting the new thread early.
