Isn't odd how a photo can take you back to a place and you have a really strong good memory it makes you smile ! The photo of that fantastic Omelet took me back about 10 years to a road trip in Belgium with my wife and two young kids. We went to see the WW1 battlefields and after a pretty heavy visit to a couple of Battlefield Cemeteries, we stopped off at a small Cafe. They had just finished serving lunch, but when the owner heard my wife speak, he said he would get us some Frites and an Omelet each. He came back and brought us some drinks and started hugging my wife, thanking her for sending brave young men to fight for his country ! He was genuinely eternally grateful and I was very moved. He was a local historian and gave us a great little talk about the War while our food was coming. Out came these huge Omelets, really deep yellow and my kids were awestruck. They were made with fresh Geese eggs and butter, the Frites came with a homemade garlic mayo - it was the best lunch we had, my eldest daughter stills talks about it. We went into Ypres that afternoon and had the best chocolate ice cream I have ever tasted.

I like to treat myself to dinner out in harvest days, and tonight it was Nantucket Cod, a local dish that swims in butter. I love butter. 
There's none of it left when I'm done.
Before I left the house I had a Carnival brownie, my evening dose. That brownie and its cannabinoids just met up with that butter. I stopped at Target to do some light shopping and looked up a minute ago to have reality shift.
Gosh, this is fun. Let me wander.

Hahaha! Made me laugh right out loud. Have no fear Amy, by tonight it'll look significantly different.
That was the most delightful story. Thank you for sharing the memory.
Made with goose eggs....what a treat! And 
to the joyful journal WoundedKnee. I don't recall you posting earlier. With so many threads running simultaneously it can be challenging to keep it all straight. Lol! Good morning everyone
Third Monday of the month means it's time for another Conversation Café. Coffee and stimulating conversation.... an excellent start to what promises to be a busy week in the garden. I have Ultra Dawg scheduled for a Thursday harvest and Thin Mint for Friday. Cuttings need takes, clones upcanned and I might flip the sponsored tent before the weekend.
Don't you just love what we do?
Look at Blue Dream go into her stretch!
Took a couple nice shots of UD while she was getting drenched. I thought I'd share them here.
She's definitely one of the frostiness chemovars I grow.
The complexity of her genetic heritage is fully on display. Her scent dominates.
Time for me to get some food into the cultivator. I can't seem to feed myself first.
Before I wander off let me take a moment to encourage exploration of the feeling of satisfaction. When you know the universe works in your behalf and eventually everything you desire will be presented to you when you're ready for it you can look at the reality you created and feel satisfied. Give it a try today and see what happens. This energy work is completely fascinating to me. Thank you for indulging me. Joy my friends, let it bubble over and surround you with a magnetic atmosphere. Have fun with it. Life is meant to be fun. It's supposed to feel good and only you get to control how you feel.
I'll catch up with you all later.

I have an AK48 due to comedown about the same time.

Super...you've upped your game. She's gorgeous. 
Good morning everyone
Look......!!!!!
Welcome little one.
SweetSue has just passed into serious pain management. #1 is the biggest yielder, according to Van Stank, and I expect that one to pop soon, but at least I have one into the light.
Finding one germinated kinda made my morning sparkle from the start.
Ok, time to get out there and show the world how we love unconditionally. Do the universe a favor and make someone smile today. Watch how it enlivens your day.
My joyful self will be catching up with yours later.
Glad to see that one of them popped for you Sue. Hope the other one comes along as well. Gotta catch up on the other 4 pages of the journal to find out huh LOL.
Oh TS.....so much conversational fodder.
Good morning everyone
And then there were two...
* Contented sigh *
Alright gang, another day to fill with joyful expression. Give it your best shot and laugh more.
Isn't this the most fun you ever had?
Awww...now I am happy. Glad both of them popped for you Sue!! Hope that they work as well for your friends pain as they do for my back pain. I am getting close to harvesting the seeds from the breeding plant I have going, so I expect A LOT MORE SEEDS in a couple weeks!!

I tried it two nights ago, and meant to mention it yesterday. Wonderfully effective sleep meds. Put me down in less than 15 minutes.
It was indeed fragrant. You did a great job raising this one.
Thats what it ChemDawg does to me Sue. I have never been able to last more than about 30 minutes after smoking it. Switched to Blueberry cause I can stay up and functioning if I want to....but still lets me sleep great as soon as I want (though last night I fell asleep on the couch watching the highlights from football). I will try growing ChemDawg eventually but its just a bit too sedative for me LOL.

I'm hoping I didn't kill them Van.
I set them too close to the light. The leaves look sad as can be, but they're young, and there's enough green showing today to suggest survival is more eminent than death. #2 looks worse off than #1, but she has a touch more green than she had when I spotted the mistake yesterday morning.
#1 looks like she'll bounce right back. The stems on both look sound, giving me more hope.
I'm gonna be more careful in the future to place seedlings beyond 24". I set these closer to 18" without noticing. Lesson learned. If I need to start new seeds I will, but that'll take another two weeks treatment. Hmmm..... I never checked the seeds for likely females because I expected to treat them with ethylene gas. I'll pull them out later and see if I can sex any, just in case.
Feeling pretty proud of myself guys. I pulled the filter and fan down and switched out the prefilter on the Can33. It sits in a box on top of the tent, requiring me to disconnect and haul that sucker down. This is the second time I did that on my own. I'm stronger than I used to be.
It's been longer than it needed to be since the last change. I'm trying to keep from being disappointed in myself. I'd rather simply see to it that I get it done in a timely way next time. The old pre filter's been cleaned and is drying out.
In the vein of "getting things done in a timely manner" I wanted to share my latest change in the way I keep records, which will also assist me in staying on schedule with all the little jobs that need to be kept up with when you run a perpetual. Wandering through Target I came across some monthly planners knocked down to half price.
A nice feature of these is that they're not dated, so they can be used for any year. I'm watching the display. Any day now they'll get dropped in price again and I'll snap up a couple more. This makes all the records centralized. I'd like to recreate the first two years in their own books and grab another for the next year.
The calander page has big boxes to hold all my info. This page is an overview of the month.
Behind the calander are daily pages, nice, broad pages with plenty of room to write. The first thing I did after washing out the prefilter was to notate on Januaray's calander when to switch them out again. Every three months is my maximum time limit.
The daily pages are expansive enough to give me space to list each chemovar on its own line and plan out the nutrient and drench schedules. It allowed me to plan each plant out to harvest. The lines are spacious enough that I can make corrections without being cramped.
I've shown you my master sheet for watering. It's attached to the individual flow sheets and the master plan sheet for the entire collection. Running more than 20 plants at a time takes a certain amount of record-keeping. I know I take it to the extreme, but documentation is one of my passions.
Every Saturday I sit down and transfer the watering plan to two index cards that hang next to the kitchen, where all drenches are mixed. As the plants are watered they get checked off. When drenches are complete the index card info is transferred to the calander and then it gets hung back up for the next day.
This is how I keep from killing them with neglect. I have fingers in many pies and I'm trying to keep plates spinning simultaneously.
What can I say? It makes me happy. 
Yeah, I need to up my notes keeping

Every time I pull it out I think "Aww, it won't put me down so fast this time."
The advantage for me is I can wait until I'm really ready to go to bed. Smoke Carnival right up to bedtime, take three hits of Chem Dawg and head for bed. Perfect.
They should be alright if you keep them back from the light for a while.

Looking a bit sad there Sue, they should grow if you get them early enough.

Yeah..... they look even crispier now than they did earlier. I'm expecting them to be shriveled by morning. I looked over the seeds, decided all of the remaining #1 seeds were prospective females and dropped one into a cup of distilled water.
I'm only starting one, instead of getting myself overloaded again. Van said #1 yielded better, so that's the one I went with.
A couple photos to share, since I'm here.
I was working away cleaning nooks and crannies (that's the Carnival talking ) I turned and noticed the sweet buds Dark Slide is growing. 
Beautiful, frosty buds, at that.
Ultra Dawg builds them with her own special style.
The Carnival brownies are slowly but surely getting the entire apartment organized.
I've even started the new pile to be donated next weekend. It's stunning how much I still own, after spending the past two years eliminating the fluff. One of these days I'll turn around and notice I'm down to just the right amount of belongings.Hi SweetSue,
I enjoyed your posts about record keeping. It looks like you have an organized system. Certainly much better than mine. What's better than that? Your plants! UltraDog is really frosty. Looks so nice. But then, your plants always look so nice.
I always enjoy coming to your journals with your uplifting effervesence and bubbling personality. I know it takes alot of self control to stay like that all the time. Much admiration coming your way! Hope your day goes well.
