May Song

The sound always seems to be very off with the picture in these videos… I apologize, but I don’t know what I can do about it.

This is the newest song that E has learned on her violin:

Soft Soap & Wishful Thinking

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth — only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin with, and in the end despair. ~C.S. Lewis

Wild Pigs!

Investigators have linked the outbreak of E. coli bacteria in spinach, which killed three people and sickened more than 200 others across the United States, to wild pigs. The pigs could have spread the bacteria by trampling fences around a spinach field in California.

Samples taken from a wild pig, in addition to stream water and cattle from the ranch, have tested positive for the strain of E. coli implicated in the outbreak.

But investigators have not gone so far as to declare the pigs the source, and are still looking at other possibilities, including runoff, flooding, irrigation water, fertilizer and other wildlife, including deer, as possible sources.

The outbreak appears to be over, and no one has become ill from eating contaminated spinach since September 25.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. ~Colossians 3:15
