February Sky, missed the green comet?…

The green comet peaked on February 7th, however, After the tenth, according to sources, the Moon will not be so bright and the green comet ( chemical composition make’s green by Ultra Violet light on carbon) may be seen better as it exits for 50,000 more years.

Happy star gazing…

However, if you missed it, don’t unnecessarily worry: this week might be the best time to see it after all. Around the the10th of February the Moon will be less bright and the comet might actually be clearer, as it passes Mars.

Night Sky, Weather permitting.

The February Night sky is interesting, It includes a comet, that has not been seen in fifty millenniums.

Rating: 1 out of 5.

Food print…

Food Print Quiz

My result

In photo above is a link to a sustainable food Quiz. My score was characterized as making some good decisions about what I put in my mouth; (hey never mind that “What about what comes out of it” Smart butt! )That’s for later. Thanks to: What is Your Foodprint? – Quiz – FoodPrint if you missed it in the photo.

Editors Note: Please observe that the horses are slightly ahead of the parked cars in this photo and the asphalt is pronounced. The upper part of my pineapple photo is also in the picture of that sweetheart’s shopping cart. Just a coincidence!

Thanks to all the link holders.

Happy February Monday,looking back.

February 2022, local beef producers demonstrate presence.

Last year a stiring and a resolved presence was demonstrated by local beef producers in the Nicola
Valley, some 14 months after losing land, cattle and infastructure to the destructive flood power of an atmosphereic stream and its affect on the Coldwater river to the Fraser Valley.

The presence demonstrated a reslove to go on and to ask for help in the losses from government. Most of the people were family operations and had a serious cultureal aspect to their plight as it effected them and us.

They feed us…

Nothing’s imposable.

I’m you

So, my sense, if self is on the prowl;
Why so tense, it makes little sense.
My great desire is far away, lost in market;
Be myself is not on, but a ghost is in host.

So,a cryptic cry is in the sky, oh my my my;
To go and look may be read as caught.
My shred of dread will perspire, when fed...
Purchase a pet may make sense, no fashion intended.

Na, step back from the fray, lest the sell preys self;
Markets styles will not begile, it lacks one trait.
My resolve that its charm while strong does die.
Is locked in know that nothing is imposable. KDG

TGIF- BC Hydro, footprint.

The utility wants an update to understanding that the distance that things Ike chocolate and other February necessities can carry a large energy footprint if it comes a long way. Plan now 😉 to check out if a local artisan has a selection of February niceties and can deliver them at a carbon delivery that won”t built on warming phobia.

Read Hydro footprint…

Look for local flowers 🌺

Local flowers may be available, as well as local chocolate. Mailing paper cards may be the lower choice because there is 140 grams of carbon (Hydro) involved in a paper cards. Multiple that by millions and you get a carbon problem that may be unnecessary and tear at the romance of presence. (Author).

Post Script:

Good luck with your February moments,, mix them in a bowl of understanding, and don’t be afraid to use romantic offsets.

January 31st…

Listen February is coming.
January is past, just in  time for us, as the bellows of draft do relet..

Coming to February in a séance of class, and buying a look  in  the Smokey glass.

Yes, a future on the March, to avail an April that May bring change.

So listen to the fine jazz as it ebbs to its test, did you find space in the fro of blow.

Don't worry I'll wail  back to fall to sense your claim for better refrain.

Stay warm and  fed it no dread! KDG



Good 😊 morning Monday 🌻

Taylor Swift performer of the decade

This gal has got it.

Taylor Swift the thirty three year old, “geriatic pop star'”. The entertainer just keeps the show going. The drive is good to see, however what’s really encouraging is how her conversation reveals an adjusted, smart, wise person. Butter would not melting her mouth and her charm lands gently with potent strength to impress.

Good luck and happy decade to come.

This isn’t Taylor, the pose is similar, check in the photo for Wikipedia’s take on Taylor…
