Right now, I do too. I love when my brother grows the beefsteak tomatoes because he always brings me a batch of green ones.

RN, I think Juju and BigDog are perfect names. They struck around all day and pretty much cleaned out the bird feeders. They are gone now, sleeping somewhere I would guess. They have zero fear of humans. Although Juju was a little more watchful then Bigdog. Madelyn was thrilled with them. Bandit (our dog) not so much. I had to keep him away from them. If they were in the backyard I had to take him out front, if they were out front he had to go out back. He didn't get in his sunbathing today. Here is Bigdog.

RN From Animal Speak "The crane can very well reflect that you are about to recover what had almost become extinct within you." also "The crane can teach you how to celebrate your creative resources and keep them alive, regardless of the conditions in which they are manifest, both by simply having the proper focus in your life." See, you are one lucky lady Biloxi! Animals show up for a reason.

Right Now, Yay Juju and Bigdog!!! Although for verisimilitude, Juju's legs should actually be about twice as long as Bigdog's. But in proportion to the butt, Juju's stick legs look about right.

RN, Do you put anything on the green tomatoes when you fry them?

RN At Sierra's birthday party last year the cranes were mooching for food. They are real pests there. Scary too, since they are almost as tall as I am.

Right now, Suz, I make mine following Paula Deen. You sprinkle them with salt first and it draws out all that extra liquid from the tomatoes that can make them to mushy. Then, you use self-rising flour and some pepper and fry those babies up! They were so delicious!

RN, Thanks for the info on tomatoes Twinkie and Mamie. I tried frying some once and they were mushy. Yuck. I love tomatoes.

RN, that is so cool Dogdoc, thanks for sharing that with me. Juju and Bigdog were back bright and early this morning. Lot of commotion, first DH on lawnmower, garbage truck, DD's transportation and Bandit barking at them to get out of his yard. They flew off, first time I have seen them fly. But, they keep coming back. They are happily in the backyard as I type this. As interesting and unique as they are I am hoping they leave. I do not want Juju laying any eggs here. That would be a headache an a half. They don't have any numbers on their leg tags, they do have transmitters. I am going to call over to the Sandhill Crane Park today and see what I should do about them.

Right now, Suz, just sprinkle them with a little salt on both sides and set them on a pan and you'll be amazed at how much water comes out. That causes the mushiness.

Rn, I wish we would get some rain. We are behind 16 inches and it's dry as a bone here. Too much chance of a grass fire.

RN we've had thunderstorms the last three days, got about 2 minutes of rain each time and that's the most we've had in about a year.

RN ack Df! I haven't seen signs like that yet, but there are others that show the lack of rain. We had two wild fires yesterday (neither fully contained yet) from lightening hitting areas that are just too dry and creepy crawlie things (bugs, snakes, mice, and birds) are all over-running us looking for water. The next city over is now enforcing water conservation and threatening that if the city as a whole doesn't decress water usage by 25% (if I remember right) they will move into stricter conservation or even rationing. If they're to that point, we aren't far behind. We've already cut back, we're watering every other night, haven't been using the water slide (which takes tons of water) and forcing shorter showers on us and the kids.

RN, tomatoes are salted and sitting in a pan. Don't know how long they are suppose to sit, but if lots of water comes out, I'm cooking those suckers to see how they will taste.
