TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES!

THIS IS THE FIRST IRIS OF THE SEASON AND WE HAVE ABOUT 15 MORE BLOOMS OF THE SAME COLOR READY TO BURST FORTH. THE OTHER TWO PICS (BELOW) ARE JUST SOME TINY FLOWERS THAT GOD GAVE TO US!

ECONOMY

CATS ARE SOOOO DRAMATIC!!!!!

THERE ARE SO MANY RUMORS AND SO MUCH NEWS COVERAGE OF OUR CURRENT ECONOMIC SITUATION.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

IT HAS BEEN LIKENED TO THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION AND WITH REAGANOMICS FOLLOWING THAT- WE ARE TOLD THIS IS CYCLIC, AND REPUBLICANS HELD THE HOUSE AND CONGRESS FOR 8 YEARS. NOW IT'S THE DEMOCRATS TURN AND SUPPOSEDLY THE WHOLE PROCESS WILL CYCLE THROUGH AGAIN.

NOW I MAY TOTALLY HAVE MY HEAD I THE SAND AND LIVING ON BLIND FAITH, BUT I BELIEVE GOD HAS EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL; AND WILL HELP US AS AND "IF" WE TURN TO BACK TO HIM AS A NATION. HOWEVER, TURN WE MUST.

OTHERWISE HE WILL, OUT OF OUR FREEWILL ALLOW US TO RUN HEADLONG OFF THE CLIFF. (THE LEMMING SYNDROME :-). I'M STILL PUTTING MY FAITH IN AMERICANS AND OUR CONSTITUTION- AND WOE TO ANYONE WHO TAMPERS WITH THE CONSTITUTION TOO MUCH. LEAVE GUN CONTROL ALONE- ECONOMISTS, LISTEN TO GREENSPAN IN THE BACKGROUND, HOUSE AND SENATE- PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE!

I THINK WE AS ALWAYS CAN PULL OURSELVES OUT OF THIS SPIRAL DUE TO THE UNQUENCHABLE, INDOMITABLE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

MEANTIME, I'M GETTING A CUP AND LYING BESIDE 'EL GATO' IN THE PICTURE.

ON A POSITIVE NOTE- SPRING IS HERE IN SC, AND WE HAVE SOME BEAUTIFUL IRIS'S UP ALREADY! I'LL TRY AND GET A FEW BETTER PICS UP!
