Memories of secret garden

 

Secret Garden destroyed

 

The Secret Garden between Dorchester and Hastings in the village was the favorite spot for many villagers to relax and contemplate.  I have used it for 20 years, joyfully.  The garden had peace, beauty, tranquility, generosity, volunteer hard work. It has been removed by order UCO/WPRF.

I hope there will be a full explanation !!

Poppies

 In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

    That mark our place; and in the sky

    The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

        In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

    The torch; be yours to hold it high.

    If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

        In Flanders fields.

this is not what I expected..

 Subject: Studies on the aging have found........................

A recent study has found women who carry a little extra weight live longer than men who mention it.
 
 I may not be that funny or athletic or good looking or smart or talented. I forgot where I was going with this.
 
 I love approaching 80, I learn something new every day and forget 5 other things.
 
 A thief broke into my house last night. He started searching for money so I got up and searched with him.
 
 Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed. (so true)
 
 It's weird being the same age as old people.
 
 When I was a kid I wanted to be older...this is not what I expected
 
 Chocolate is God's way of telling us he likes us a little bit chubby.
 
 It's probably my age that tricks people into thinking I'm an adult.
 
 Marriage Counselor: Your wife says you never buy her flowers. Is that true?
Him: To be honest, I never knew she sold flowers.
 
 Never sing in the shower! Singing leads to dancing, dancing leads to slipping, and slipping leads to paramedics seeing you naked. So remember…Don't sing!
 
 I see people about my age mountain climbing; I feel good getting my leg through my underwear without losing my balance.
 
 If you can't think of a word, say, "I forgot the English word for it." That way people will think you're bilingual instead of an idiot.
 
 I'm at a place in my life where errands are starting to count as going out.
 
 I'm at that age where my mind still thinks I'm 29, my humor suggests I'm 12, while my body mostly keeps asking if I'm sure I'm not dead yet.
 
 I don't always go the extra mile, but when I do it's because I missed my exit.
 
 You don't realize how old you are until you sit on the floor and then try to get back up.
 
 We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our heads.
 
There are others but I can't remember them.

Do not steal mangoes from associations not yours!

 

How do you tell if a mango is ready to be picked from a tree and when is it ripe enough to eat?

Firstly, you can eat green mangoes by turning them into green mango pickles, chutneys, and in cooking. Thinly sliced green mangoes make a wonderful Asian salad and green mangoes go well with almost anything.

However, most people are accustomed to eating mangoes which have ripened so how can we tell when a mango is ripe to eat? Easy, a mango is ripe to eat when the skin has a slight blush, the mango feels soft and not firm when lightly squeezed, and the mango is fragrant (smells nice and sweet). Just a side note, not all types of mangoes ripen with a blush as some remain green skinned (but most do go yellow or orange when ripe).

What about picking a ripe mango from the tree? Mangoes will ripen on the tree if left long enough (and nothing else gets them before you) but the best time to pick a mango is when it has developed a blush, and the pointy nose/beak right at the tip of the mango has rounded off slightly and filled out. At this stage, the mango might still be quite firm but if left on a kitchen bench it will soon ripen in a few days. 

When picking a mango off the tree it's best to cut it leaving about an inch or so of stem still attached to the fruit this will curb the sap bleed and help to direct the sap away from running onto the mango. Mango sap on the skin of the fruit can spoil it and turn the skin black. Try to store the mango so the sap runs out from the stem away from the fruit. 

How simple do you have to be?

 BEWARE CENTURY VILLAGE DRIVING IN THE VILLAGE. I just came back from traffic school. I got a ticket from a corrupt policeman for going through a stop sign at the four corners coming in from Haverhill. I stopped and to look to make sure there were no cars coming from the left I had to put both hands on either side of my body to lift up and turn as I could not turn my neck . It was stiff. As I came around towards the laundry a police car pulled up behind me flashing his lights and gave me a ticket for going through a stop sign. These policemen that are called into the village by UCO think old people are a cash grab. I was also given 4 points. I WAS FULLY STOPPED. I paid $264.00 for the ticket and $40.00 for traffic school. The school said they would make sure that the points are taken off my name. It is too bad we need the police in the village and they just give out tickets where there were no infractions. I told the policeman that he was a corrupt cop. I certainly could have used the $300.00 total for something that I really needed.

New Starbucks Chipotle

I tried our new Chipotle, 10 salad choices and much more around $10.

It is on the corner of Skees Road that has Hippocrates Health Institute, and Okeechobee, 5 miles round trip from my corner of CV.

New Starbucks is on same corner. Is this semi-gentrification!

World Radio Stations

 This is different name but seems to be same content as station on Blog part 1.   The green dots on this Google Earth map represent radio stations all over the world. Click on any one of the dots and you will immediately hear that station with very good reception. For example, halfway up Ireland's east coast, there is a station playing Irish pub music.

Any of you who are multilingual will certainly enjoy this.

They are still playing Elvis in the North Shetland Isles.
