"Found Dog" add-on 9:30
FOUND DOGMale Black Lab mix, white toes, white chest, white tip on tail. He is extremely calm and gentle. He appears to have been well taken care of prior to us finding him... he is easy on a leash, kind to our critters and kids, was calm when given a bath. He had a small cut on his front paw that is healing nicely. Someone must be missing this good boy.
If anyone has any information on whom the owners are, please call my cell 315-939-0648 and leave a message."

IN BLOOM
Multiflora Rose
Looking graceful and delicate, with all of its pretty little flowers, this shrub is anything but.
It's been used for a century or more as a "living fence," functioning every bit as efficiently as barbed wire and being much more difficult to get rid of!
Rugosa - or Beach - Roses.

Clumps of Blue Flag in watery ditches .........
.... often in the company of Watercress!
.... often in the company of Watercress!
I'm not suggesting that you go out and gather 'cress from a ditch next to a major highway, where all sorts of contaminants are probably present in the water and on the leaves, but - if you find some in a remote, unpolluted location - here's something you can do with it:
Using the most tender, top-most leaves -- NOT the blossoms -- chop or process a cup or so of leaves very fine and add to a well-blended mixture of one-half softened salt-free butter and one-half softened cream cheese. (The addition of freshly-ground black pepper is suggested, but only in the most judicious amounts.)
Spread on thin white sandwich bread, cut into squares or triangles and - of course! - remove the crusts. Chill; enjoy!
Also try --- Watercress Soup.

More and more "wild" poppies can be seen in the field of rye next to Edie Eastman's home in "Dicksville" .........

Thank You!
