Saturday What Are They?

What kind of beans are these?

Friday Planting

Planted today:

- 14 ft of 'Kentucky Blue' pole beans, single row, about 4 inches apart
- 14 ft of 'Royal Burgundy' bush beans, single row, about 4 inches apart
- 55 ft of 'Envy' soybeans (edimame), pretty much a single row, 4 inches apart

Also did the usual weeding. If nothing else, there's always weeding to do. I'm very glad I'm finally at that point where I can say that. This is new.

The soybeans are about 3 years old (i.e., they were packaged for 2004), so I'm not sure if they're going to come up. But I planted a whole bunch of them -- a few hundred -- so I'm hoping that a few will come up so I can save seed for next spring (and maybe even a very late fall planting).

Here are some pics:


'Liana' pole beans seedlings planted next to yucca flower stalks


An 'Early Sweet' pie pumpkin seedling down in the bottom of this can. I'm trying the can to see if that protects the seedlings from the quail. This seedling is also growing in the 50/50 mix of peat and pig manure.



This is the row in which I planted the beans listed above.


This is the order I placed with Johnny's today. It includes 3 beans, 2 greens, and 6 lettuces.

Sunday False Flag?

The way to keep the majority of the population in fear is to put these little tidbits out from time to time. This keeps them on edge and fearful. Is the recent pipeline bombing plot a mini false flag?

Sunday Pretty Pics

Here are some pics of a friends' cactus, plus a cicada I spied while tromping around today.

Tuesday Dichotomy

I'm at a low point, but all around me continues to be great and beautiful.

I nice storm blew through a few days ago and I snapped some incredible shots of the lightening. Hope you enjoy them.

Saturday Flowers

Pretty flowers up at the stronghold....

Tuesday Stronghold

Heading up to the Stronghold this morning. Been looking forward to this "trip" for quite a while. It's a 20 minute drive, but we never seem to make the time to get up there. But now's the time to do it with all the wildflowers coming out. I'm hoping to get a pretty nice show.

I'll post some pics here and vids on YouTube (and link to them here).

Until later.....

Monday Lettuce

First harvest of lettuce this year. These are 'Black Seeded Simpson' that self-sowed and came up on their own. I cut off a few of the outer leaves of the largest plant, chopped them up, and had them on my burrito for lunch:

Thursday Green

So I saw a green "contrail" or "cloud" today.

The first picture is what came out of the camera:




The 2nd picture, all I did was change the brightness and contrast:

Tuesday Sunrise & "Contrails"

Nice sunrise, except for that eyesore:

Monday Paradigm Shift

Allright -- so I'm undergoing a paradigm shift. David Hawkins has it right, even though I still can't be sure of the basis for his statements -- kinesiology. But that almost doesn't matter since this is all "perception" anyhow.

In Power vs. Force, Hawkins describes a 'Map of Consciousness' and goes into elaborate detail as to what this means and how it shows up in the world. At the moment, I don't have the necessary words to describe my thoughts on this, but the paradigm is very much in alignment with my own thoughts and experiences.

I see attractor patterns everywhere and practically all the time. The more I look for them, the more of them I see. This is especially true in my own behavior (which, of course, comes from my thoughts which originate in consciousness).

Unfortunately, at the moment, I exist in a very "negative" energy field. I'm in guilt, shame, apathy, grief, fear, desire, anger, and pride most of the time. On occasion, I peek into courage and neutrality. Rare is willingness, acceptance, reason, and love. Nearly non-existent is joy and peace.

An example of this is how I, up until yesterday, viewed the universe. I've experienced situations that seem to repeat. It's as if the universe is trying to teach me something. So it throws something at me and sees how I react. If I react "correctly", then the situation never (or rare) repeats. If I react "incorrectly", then I'll get a repeat usually as quickly as the next day -- but sometimes sooner. I've thought of these situations as challenges, as if the universe is saying, "ok, buddy, whatcha gonna do with this?".

But now I see that these aren't challenges. The universe doesn't operate that way, even though from my negative energy level I might perceive it to be that way. The universe is actually in a constant state of giving. So -- instead of challenging me, I'm now seeing that the universe is trying to help me. Help me do what? Choose positive energy over negative energy. Simple as that.

My usual reaction to an unwanted situation is to get angry. I do this very well -- I'm an expert. But this reaction doesn't resolve the situation, and in fact it usually makes it worse. This is because anger is a negative energy. If, instead, I react with a positive energy (in most cases, I can go with neutrality), then the situation ends and I move on unharmed and in fact feeling pretty good about myself. My energy level has been slightly raised and that gives me a nice rush.

So why not always go for the positive energy reactions to things? Bad habits. I'm not use to seeking out positive energy.

Well, onward and upward.

Monday Managing

Here's some pics of the garden as of yesterday:

Wednesday Dusty

A dusty morning because of all the wind, but I was there to witness (and record!) a spectacular sunrise:

Saturday Sunny

A nice day today after a few days of rain. "Nice" isn't accurate, of course, since I enjoy the rain as much as the sun. But you know what I mean.

Got a new camera the other day. It's a beaut! Look at this mint!!!!



I'm also YouTubing these days. The camera comes with a video option with very excellent sound:

Tuesday Equinox

Happy Equinox!

My digital camera died the other day. An expected event. So I'll be getting another one fairly soon -- whenever I get back into town. I suppose I could order online, but I'm a tactile person and need to actually "feel" things like that before I buy them.

I want the camera to document the explosion of wakefulness out here in the desert that we're experiencing. Everything is waking up from a 3 month dormancy.

A big change is about to occur. Should be exciting. They always are.

Thursday Buds

Oh yeah, the almond tree that we planted early last fall is showing signs of life! This is a very nice thing since I was very worried about it making it through the winter. The buds are beginning to swell and change color. In another week or so I'm expecting flowers! Totally cool!

Here are some bud pics:




And ok, the perty sunrise from this morning....

Thursday Admit

The only thing I find relevant to post to the blog is pics and comments about the chemtrails. All of my other inner most thoughts and actions are written down in my private journal. Y'all don't wanna know (nor do you care) what I'm really thinking about.

Anyhow -- more chem pics from yesterday. A busy morning indeed! Here's an example:

Monday Chems

Actually, these pics were taken a few days ago:

Monday: Peas, Carrots, Onions

The peas and onions are popping up, but no carrots yet.

The alfalfa farm down the road has started watering, which means they're thinkin' it's time for everything to start a-growin'. I'm not arguing.

Full throttle.

Thursday Got 'Em

Yesterday afternoon, my friends up in the air were busy. Two very low (I'd estimate 30,000ft) planes went right over me with their spray. I caught the 2nd one with my camera. The following images are cropped from the original images to just show the plane:

Also, using the RGB colors of the camera, I can do some very low spectral resolution analysis:



The green line is the background sky. The red line is the "chemtrail". The dark blue line is the fuseloge of the plane. The purple line is the wing of the plane. What this shows is that the plane's underside is quite bright in the red and green, and pretty dark in the blue -- relatively speaking.

Wednesday Photons

If one looks at a photon as a particle moving through space, we all know that it travels at C, the velocity of light. However, when it passes through a prism, it slows down and this is what causes the rainbow effect we see.

Allright -- so what it the velocity of the photon after it leaves the prism? I can understand what slows it down, but what speeds it up again after it leaves the prism?

Tuesday Radar

Allright -- so explain this one. Here is the radar "image" (1km) from 2216 UTC:



And here is the visible light image (1km) taken at 2215 UTC -- contrast enhanced and cropped so the image is about the same area as the radar shown above:




Now -- if there's such a huge and strong radar "echo", why doesn't it correlate with the visible satellite image?

Could this be the "chaff" that is talked about so much? If you look at a radar animation for the past several hours, there are other little "clouds" moving around. I haven't correlated them with any sat image, but I'd guess that they're as un-correlated as the big blob.

So I guess I'll be watching this blob, too, as it makes its way across my beautiful desert.

Sons of bitches....

Tuesday Busy Sky

A very busy sky over southern calif and baja:



Are there really that many flights from LA to somewhere in Mexico every day?

This is a 1km resolution image that I've enhanced to boost the contrast a bit so the trails can be easily seen.

Parallel trails, fairly equally spaced. I count at least 12 of them. Not sure if they were formed at the same time or sequencially. I'm keeping an eye on this area today and will see what happens.

Sons of bitches....

Sunday Please Explain

Ok, folks, I want someone to explain this sequence of two images taken a few hours ago off the Pacific coast of California.

Picture 1, taken at 13:30 UTC:



... and Picture 2, taken at 14:00 UTC:



Both of these are with the IR camera. Now -- in Picture 1, there is clearly only one "contrail", while in Picture 2 there is clearly two "contrails". The 2nd "contrail" in Picture 2 is most likely the upper one. It is approximately 181.01 pixels in length. Each pixel is 4km in size, so therefore the length of this "contrail" is approx 724km.

No problem, UNTIL one also realizes that this "contrail" was formed in 30 minutes. Let's assume it took exactly 30 minutes to form this "contrail". This means that the aircraft that created this "contrail" was traveling at 1448 km/hour -- or about 869 mph. Yep -- supersonic.

Sons of bitches.....

There's a lot of additional activity just to the north of these "contrails", also, which is why when I was watching the Weather Channel this morning it caught my eye.

Here's a visible image taken at the same time. The two "contrails" shown above are actually even more clear -- and I've included the activity to the north:

first at 13:30 UTC:




and then at 14:00 UTC:
