Gardening in a Kilt (Buzz Kidder Canvas)

[BoldHighlander]

It did Ted

Thanks again, BoldHighlander. Guess it all works well. Maybe it will seem a bit easier to get pictures now that I can post them on my own.
I'm happy about this.

[Bugbear]

Hopefully I will be able to post more pictures soon.

Out here in Arizona, we don't change our time back and now we're on California time. Just a little while ago, we were on New Mexico time. The whole world went click, and we didn't. Also the forum shuts down for a few minutes at midnight, then I usually come back and make my last post in this thread.
Well, we're still in yesterday out here...

[Bugbear]

I'm up and going a bit earlier this morning. I usually get up and feed the cats, then sleep a little longer. I'll probably pay for it later today.

I'm going to try to get someone over here today to take pictures of me wearing a kilt while looking like I'm gardening. Getting the pictures from the camera to the computer is the next problem. We'll probably have to go to Walmart and have them put on a cd, then I can copy them on to my computer.

Mrs. Marmalade knows how to do all that stuff and she can send me the pictures in an Email, but I hardly ever see her anymore. That's a whole different story...

Ok, I thought of a way to explain this without going into the whole story. For several years, I had arangements to go over to the studio, where I have my ceramics fired, once aweek and drop them off. This is where Mrs. Marmalade works, and it is in a near by city. I had to change those arangements last year because it was too difficult to get over to that city. So I now hall all my work over there when I get a chance. I don't see Mrs. Marmalade once a week like before. I am in the middle of a bunch of transisions right now that I'm not really talking much about here, but that is why I am having a difficult time getting pictures to post.

Well... The pictures didn't happen today. Guess it's going to be next Monday that we'll try to take the pictures. I guess that's OK; I'll use the time to get parts of my yard looking good enough for pictures, and get more pics of me standing in front of plants. Stand outside my little cottage. That will be good for this thread.

It got weird out in one of those threads today, but we were just being silly. The whole point of the thread was about being weird, so I think it was ok. I got out though after calling for a group hug and some oatmeal cookies.

[Bugbear]

As is my tradition, I make a post in this thread after midnight to start and end the day. I'm excited about the new photo gallery, and being able to upload pictures. I will do what I can to get more pictures to put in this thread. Garden pictures of me wearing a kilt and so on.

Well, that does it for the day.

I think I'll cook pig ribs again today. I had them yesterday and they were good. I'll have to think about which way I want to cook them.

I guess I'll work some more on the yard today, as well.

Right now, I'm still having my morning coffee.



That always helps, te he.

* Ok, i've got the pig a cookin. The rib was frozen, so I put a cup of water in the bottom of my pot, then put the grill rack down in there and steamed him for a while. Then I put seasoning rub on him, and in the middle of that, I decided to throw a cup of rice down in the water and another cup of water in. Then I cut up the rib meat and put it in the rice... It's going to be good.
* That rice was pretty good with the rib meat. I transplanted a grape vine that will be going to someone after lunch.


I'm working a little here and there to get the place ready for picture taking. That will probably happen on Monday. I'm getting my kitchen streightened up a little bit too, so I can get a picture or two of me looking like i'm cooking in my kilt.

[Bugbear]

Ok, here's what happened. I got Jako Dar, one of our newer members, to work on a picture for me and it will be my new avatar and profile picture. Right now I have Bernard the mouse there.

[Bugbear]

Ok Avatar is up. and I went with the tan background. I plan on rotating between avatars, even Bernard, from time to time. Now I need to go try to upload my profile picture.

* The profile picture is uploaded too.

The wild flowers I planted in fall are blooming, and I'm still using the pig ribs for the meat in my rice. I hope to have some Holiday pictures to post soon for the up coming celebrations.

Guess now finally, I won't have to use Bernard the mouse for an avatar.
And BTW

As I see it in this particular picture rather than tartan the cap and jacket Bernard is wearing seems to be more of a burnt orange tweed. (Or I've seen in some iterations that color called saffron.) My idea of saffron is more mustard colored but I've seen this one too. Either way if I had a tweed cap and jacket in that color I'd wear it without a second thought.

Cheers!



Strangely I'm glad this thread keeps getting updated. Judging by the number of thread views for it I'm obviously not alone.

Thank you, starbkjrus, that ment a lot to me, as did this quote you posted in my Traditional Hair Styles thread

Ted, you seem to have a contemplative nature and a reflective peace of mind that I envy. Your garden must be an interesting place.

I thought I would have pictures of the garden and me wearing my kilt, but things fell through earlier today. I'll keep trying.
