Thought it was Sarah Jessica Parker’s “hat” from cannes a few days ago!

LDG–

Yes, Sunshine had the answer– credit goes to her!!!! Sorry Alfredo!

Although, I do like some of her other answers!!! way cute!

the cactus plant you feel into while in Venezuela and your vision was so blurred from the pain you thought you had the camera focused.

Cactus in Caracas? I’m from there, and is not easy to fall into one, you would have to go to an arid place.

Thanks LDG & Patty. The one time I get a POD right first and I get no credit.
Thanks for looking out for me.
Adam must be VERY busy.

ah ha, so it IS grapes….wasnt alfredo adam.
it was FL Sunshine.
LDG’s post relisted the “grape” guess.

so what kind of “pests” bother these? and how often have you had the buds frosted off?

wow adam, where did you go? all the way to the alaskan pipeline or what?
must be a good story wherever it is!

In case anyone cares, here is what the process was, quoting, bold added for clairity.

earliest non-specific answer was:

I posted this yesterday, grape flowers

……hmmmm

Jen - “sniff, smelling baby’s head”. that cracks me up because that’s what I used to do to my babies. It made me feel like a dog somewhat but I couldn’t help but sniff my babies each time I picked them up! It’s one of those smells that are locked in my memory. I bet I could’ve picked out my own baby from a dozen other blindfolded just by sniffing them.

Being that it is Tech Tuesday…..I now think that this POD was taken with the all new BallCam that Major League Baseball has been playing around with. The camera is somehow installed inside the ball and gyroscopes keep it from spinning and tumbling as the ball flies through the air. This looks to be a picture of a line drive single hit by a left handed batter in the bottom of the third inning, one on, two out.

I can’t wait for them to show a screwball.

OK ADAM!

Now that KERMIT has been located send him home to me, please. Don’t even think about frog legs for dinner! ✈ ✈ ✈

Adam - (tap tap on the screen) are you there??? you can’t leave us hanging!

Adam-

Things are slow here………you know what to do!
hint hint….

Patty
Adorable! thanks for sharing your pics!
*sniff* —smelling baby’s head. I love it! (and puppy smell too!)

Thank you all! yes, Kalem is a pretty baby if i dont say so myself.

He has a appt with the “hospital photog” at 9:30 this morning! *L* That cracks me up!

Max…Jim is our #2 son. Kalem is their first baby, our 6th grandbaby.

I still think FL got the BOD (blur of day) with her grape guess, Adam just didnt read the posts! *L*

Patty: how cute. Which one is YOUR baby?

Hard Working American - if you got some weed out of FL, it was NOT from me but perhaps these guys who were just busted over the weekend… http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080527/NEWS01/805270336&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL
or maybe you were out with Bull’s forward J. Noah the other night…he got busted..http://www.wftv.com/news/16393311/detail.html

What is the deal Adam???? Why no clue? Why so few comments about our guesses. I thought we had some pretty good ones. lol

Patty - congrats on cute little Kalem!!! Enjoy him!

grape flowers by Alfredo is a good one!

xxxx

Patty–

Give Spike and Ike a big huge soft pat from me!!!
xxxx

California raisins is a good one!

Personally, I like the older POD’s– I miss the maps and trying to figure out that part of the world-

This green thing–

buds– yes, these are buds– for what- no clue! Marigolds? I have no idea!

I am glad Betty finally found Kermit!

Patty–

Happy day to you I bet– baby was born on Memorial Day? Good omen!! Blessed child!

Patty Adorable! So beautiful, the mom looks so happy and your son looks so happy as well. What a wonderful family you have.

What is - still playing here…..

Adam, I’ve been around the world chasing that crazy frog KERMIT but he’s always just out of reach! ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ Actually I’ve been at GretaWire when I’m online and only thought of you yesterday when a fellow blogger was looking for some Mac questions, recommended you!

New format for the blog? Haven’t been here for a long while - what’s up?

EUREKA!

My pet frog KERMIT has been found! ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈ ✈

Adam don’t give us too much info now!

Patty!
Congrats! on your new grandson!!!
Hope everyone is doing well.

The avocado blooms? from your recent story on the plight of the avocado trees.

But this picture sure looks wine induced to me. lol

Strawberry picking here today — pie tonight!

Oscar figuroa a Venezuelan communst politician said on TV his party and FARC are alied, he appeared in one of the laptop pictures belonging to terrorist Reyes.

Noticiero Digital (26/05/08-09:46am).- El gobierno se ha empeñado hasta el cansancio en negar su posible vínculo con las FARC, pero algunos de sus personeros le hacen la lucha difícil, pues abiertamente se consideran “aliados estratégicos” del grupo guerrillero y hasta dudan que hayan sido los responsable de los atentados que han perpetrado, los mismos que han sido la base para que Estados Unidos y países europeos lo coloquen en la lista de terroristas. Ese es el caso del diputado por el PCV Oscar Figuera, quien este lunes y en entrevista a Globovisión, aseguró que considera legítima la “lucha” armada del grupo irregular y hasta desestimó la veracidad de la muerte de una ingeniera venezolana y los seis Guardias Nacionales a manos de las FARC, al preguntarse si dicho hecho no habría salido de la computadora de Raúl Reyes.

Diputado Oscar Figueras: PCV y Farc somos aliados estratégicos

26 de mayo de 2008
Globovisión
http://www.globovision.com/news.php?nid=88530

El diputado y secretario general del Partido Comunista de Venezuela, Oscar Figuera, manifestó que su organización y las FARC son “aliados estratégicos”. Ratificó que no considera terrorista a ese grupo armado, al que catalogó de “movimiento político, militar e ideológico”, y admitió una “coincidencia de propósitos políticos” entre esa guerrilla y el proyecto político del presidente Hugo Chávez, aunque descartó cualquier tipo de ayuda militar por parte del gobierno.

Cuando se le preguntó por los atentados que han perpetrado las FARC, dejando inclusive personas muertas, respondió que “se puede condenar como un hecho general, pero no me consta que lo haya hecho las FARC”. Y, para el caso, señaló más adelante, “no condenamos la forma de lucha armada, porque es parte de las formas de lucha frente a un estado (colombiano) que cierra las vías democráticas”.

Consultado específicamente sobre el atentado en el estado Apure, donde murió una ingeniera venezolana junto a seis efectivos de las Guardia Nacional, atribuido a las FARC, Figueras no quiso responder y solo se mofó preguntando si eso había salido de la computadora de Raúl Reyes, hallada por el Ejército colombiano tras la operación en Ecuador donde se dio muerte al número 2 del grupo irregular.

Y sobre la computadora, dijo previamente que “hay elementos ahí planteados que no quedan claros (…) Desde nuestra perspectiva esos computadores no existen, están montados por la inteligencia de los Estados Unidos y el gobierno de Colombia (…) Es un plan para seguir con la matriz de decir que el gobierno venezolano tiene vínculos terroristas, (que) desde nuestra perspectiva no es terrorista (las Farc)”.

A juicio del parlamentario, se trata de una “lucha que expresa los intereses del pueblo colombiano en sus sectores más desposeídos”. Por eso, considera que habría brindarle un aplauso a Manuel Marulanda, cuya muerte se conoció este fin de semana. Para Figueras, alias Tirofijo “fue un revolucionario”.

Dijo entonces, que el PCV y las FARC “somos aliados estratégicos en la lucha contra el imperialismo, lo que no hay es un plan donde nos pongamos de acuerdo, es decir, ustedes hacen esto y nosotros aquello”.

“No existe vinculación desde el punto de vista de un plan político ni ningún tipo de ayuda militar entre el gobierno de Hugo Chávez (…) Hay coincidencia de propósitos políticos se navegan en el gran río de la unidad continental”, expresó.

it’s you front lawn..you forgot to cut the grass.

off-topic

@All

I’ll be away for about another day, so I thought I would drop a quick note while I could. Luck to you on the POD. May you be well and safe this Memorial Day, and always. Spend it with a friend, eh?

“Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden, Einen bessern findst du nit…”

simple answer:

ur front yard after the gardeners trimmed the front bushes :S

or maybe u were somewhere random and ur camera fell on the floor and it landed in some weird position and it took a picture by itself and this is the picture? lol

ur kidding?

Congrats Patty! I know the baby is beautiful but I still wanna see!

Well, I was smoking the “WEED” that FL Sunshine gave me and I saw what the picture was.
Its NOT a piece of art. And I have to rate the picture a 2 on artistic merit.

Wrong here, dear one! No one saw FL Sunsine give you the “WEED”- so don’t incriminate her-

gracias!

And as for the rate on the picture on a 2 artistic merit, I am assuming you are going from a 1 to 10, being one the highest as in rank, 2 second best!

xxxx

————————————————————————————————————

It was a joke. I don’t even smoke weed.

She did however pass me the crack pipe that she said she got from you dear Susan–AZ.

No sorry, you assume wrong. Going from 1 to 10 and 10 being the best I give it a 2.
I don’t think Adam tried to make an artistic piece with this. If he was trying, whoa I need to give him a few pointers.

gracias!

WHAT: Colutea Arborescens (more commonly known as “Bladder Sena”)………a flowering shrub found in the Mediterranean area.

WHERE: Along the road from Beersheba to Jerusalem, Israel

WHY: You reeeeeeally had to go after spending the afternoon with the locals at the Beersheba Kosher Swill ‘n Grill

Sunshine: I don’t think there is a prize, only gloating rights.
There’s a big knife and gun problem in parts of london. It’s got a lot worst since they banned guns, and then knives.

Patty: Memorial Baby!

Susan: having a good weekend? Has your brother left now?

@PATTY–

I don’t have to run, I just pray for cover! LOL

@Patty-

We’ve been cleaning closets today, ya know the ones you put “everything” in and shut the door and run……i needed the comic relief! Thanks!!!

Max - just read about the death of Robert Knox - 18 year old actor in the latest Harry Potter film - was stabbed to death in London while trying to protect his younger brother. Very sad.

————————————————————————————————————–

Yes- so indeed!

I am about ready to stop watching the television! LOL

Sunshine-

McCain was a work of art this week-end? Don’t vote for anyone!

In all seriousness, this has been the week from heck!!! It has totally sucked!

xxxxxxx

Oak Century Vineyard?

(Adam) still working for you!

oops– My post went through before I even finished my typing?

I know what it is Adam. It’s a green hi-heel thrown in the hedge by a high school girl who had a terrible time at her prom. Where do I pick up my prize?

I guess you had the answer—-

You are funny! Where do you get the prize? hmmm? good question–

Adam owes a few prizes, come to think of it!

C’mon Adam, that one was to easy. Do you have any that are tougher?
—————————————————————————————————

SO? What is the answer? I don’t see one! LOL :D:

The picture was the inspiration for this?

Green, green and green

I want a holiday with a scene
Of green, green and green

A summer of green trees
A landscape of green grass
A view full of green vegetables

The colour green
Is a beauty that must be seen!
From a moving vehicles screen

And while we hold onto those machines
That deprives us of the colour green
Remember they provide us vaccines
As well as help the air to be clean

So for green, green and green
I will travel continents across and in-between
And also to any place that I have never been
I will make it routine
Just to see green, green and green

Patty–

my congratulations or condolences?

Cali’s and Bonnet’s pasture-

a grasshopper’s party?

Is this picture legal?

off subject…fyi..there should be a new grandbaby by morning! *happy dance*

Sorry gang it was Baccalaureate or I would have played. Lego kid was busy on the computer as well. Tomorrow is a school day as well as a farm work day. We plan to BBQ after graduation.

Sad to say we are too busy to have any time to spend honoring our vets. I wish our school hadn’t changed it.

This could be sprouts, a seed test. Hubby does that on seeds that he holds over.

Haha!

Well, I was smoking the “WEED” that FL Sunshine gave me and I saw what the picture was.

Sedum as sum have suggested is a good guess as it has a similar structure. Could be baby’s breath.

Other than that I could’nt figure out what the picture was after I came down off the high from FL Sunshine’s weed.

I give up already.

Sunshine-
I think you got it. ……Cheers!

Susan - where are you? Tired from working the cookout at McCain’s this weekend???

looks like the plants out by my pool if I cross my eyes.:-)

Adam - seems no one wants to play along so feel free to email and let me know if I got it right. lol

Max - just read about the death of Robert Knox - 18 year old actor in the latest Harry Potter film - was stabbed to death in London while trying to protect his younger brother. Very sad.

LDG - the crawfish were ah, how do I say, okay? I guess. Actually, they aren’t bad but man, what a lot of work for such a small piece of meat. Then when you get the small piece of meat out you need to “devein” it. YUCK! I can’t get past it to just suck it in like other people. Plus, the yellowish/brownish/greenish stuff that pulls out with the tail from the abdomen area….YUCK, that was not so pretty either. lol

Max - I’ve never won one of Adam’s POD. That would be cool.
BTW, ADAM - what do you award the winner, if I should be so lucky as to get this “blur of the day” right???? lol

Patty: that is very similar. I think you might be right about Sunshine being right.

argh…didnt like my link
if there are 2 of these…sorry!

serioulsy, i think FL has it right with her vineyard guess.

blooming grape vines. h t t p : //z.about.com/d/landscaping/1/0/F/H/grapevine_in_flower.jpg

We’ve been cleaning closets today, ya know the ones you put “everything” in and shut the door and run……i needed the comic relief! Thanks!!!

its what i just threw out of the fridgerator!

back for another guess……. a kitten running in the grass by the flower bed. Well, if i squint, it looks like two pointy ears and a tail on either end of a brown spot!

pity that there are not too many of those around, ‘dem crawdads be good eats.

Have a great day, Sunshine!

@All

good luck with the green mystery blob.

((departs))

and I too must agree….more info must be provided by the photographer that did NOT focus! Come on Adam….

I too shall depart (heading to a crawfish boil). hmmmm don’t think there are too many of those in this part of FL, crawfish boil’s that is.

I’m going to need to be saying my regrets shortly, too. Not a holiday here, and rest will be needed before doing my rounds for the day.
((departs shortly))

I do think we will need a bit more than we have to make any serious guesses, but this is fun. Pity that with the holiday weekend most of our American-sited crew has places to be other than here for a day or two.
