"I'm no more a hero than any man
Who fights for justice and freedom and brotherhood!
So long as we cherish liberty-
so long as the bitter weed of tyranny can never take root upon our shores-
Then all of us are heroes-
And the dream which is America
Will long endure!"
-Captain America

And really, in answer to the question, Marvel or DC (those who know comic book geeks know the question) my answer is MARVEL, thanks. I do like some DC titles and especially like the Cartoon Network Justice League cartoon, but Marvel has my vote. "'nuff said".

So, as I get poison oak cream all over my desk trying to type in this awkward setup... I'm probably going to pick up more of it today as I go foraging around abandoned homesteads for irises and other flowers. Don't wory, I got permission from my neighbors to go trekking about up in the mountain behind the house (you have to cut thru their yards). And these places haven't been lived in probably in at least 30 years. Eew- this creme is making my desk gooey! >:-p
Yea, when we were out doing driving lessons yesterday, I spied some old irises growing in a ditch that dropped off into a stream & got a few of them- it helps the ones left behind to bloom better- really. Unfortunately, I reckon there was some poison oak that I didn't see to add to what I already had. DH is not going to be happy- he's REALLY allergic to it.

And the fried apple pies turned out GREAT! :-) There's only one left & the children are wanting me to make more of them. We did everything the old, slow way (no food processor, etc) and it was a hoot- a very messy hoot. I can't use flour without making an horrible mess, but we all worked together to get it cleaned up. ;-) The other thing we did so as not to have explosions was to puncture the tops of them with a fork before they went into the hot oil. After they drained, they were dredged in cinnamon sugar & YUM!!

Well, I reckon I'd best get a move on. The day's a'wastin'.

Oh, one more thing- these verses sound so much like Shakespeare- beautiful!
::
The thing which hath been,
it is that which shall be;
and that which is done
is that which shall be done:
And there is no new thing
under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 (you oughtta check out verses 10-11, too- they're kinda relevant to our times.)
God bless y'all!

Thankful Things

Well, I figured after I was done with college, I'd get better about blogging. Nope. It seems that I developed a strong dislike for anything doing on my computer. I don't think I've checked my email since February.

Well, the young'uns and myself are finally about over all the sickness that hit us so hard this past winter. Now we 'rebuild' and try so that things don't take so blamed much out of us. A trip to town plumb wears us out! But, I'm thankful that we can go into town. Galax is an interesting place, so we've been exploring about over there. And man oh man! Woodlawn has such beautiful views- it was a blessing driving all around trying to find a church that was open on Sunday night. We found one way down a back road that had a really pretty creek just behind it.

The young'uns are getting hungry, so this will have to be quicker than I intended. We went through my comic book collection while we were sick and now the children are making their own comic books and frequenting a shop that carries used comics for a dollar. :-) That has been fun. They both have such an individuality to their style. We'll try to get some of the finished products up on here or on another blog we may be starting just for our fanfiction- I'll let y'all know.

The new baby green leaves are so whispery tonight- lovely!

Have a blessed day. and remember

Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God-

so Read your Bibles and see what a blessing you might just get. It rather puts so many of the troubles of today in perspective.
