Some things shouldn't be left unsaid.

My gift to you.
A tribute to our friendship.
A theme song.

Serenity Now! (from Sienfeld)

So here's Sandy's post on my Facebook page.  She asked me to post the pictures so she could share them and here's what she wrote:

Sandra:  Had a really great time, however, when we ventured upstairs to the banquet room we were stunned to see cracks, dirt & mold. Upstairs is just a plain sheet rocked room. The Dungeon smelled real musty. There was mold growing on the ceiling in main floor restroom. Although they said they were handicapped accessible for the main floor there was no handicapped parking & had some difficulty moving between tables & chairs. Our servers were excellent! The food was terrific! The main floor truly felt like you were in a castle, the outside was beautiful & the grounds were lovely.

Beardslee Castle in Little Falls

I can't even begin to describe this little adventure but here are some nice shots of the castle and my friend Sandy and her  mother.

 

 

 

Goin' To The Castle

Tomorrow is our big birthday trip to Beardslee Castle with 90 year old Erma.  I'm actually looking forward to seeing the place again.  I'll bring the camera.
That's Erma on the right.  Home Bureau picnic tonight!   Too much food!

Also:

Q. Can earthworms survive freezing?

A. If frozen, they will die. Earthworms fall into the category of freeze-avoiding invertebrates. Some adults survive freezing temperatures by going below the frost line in winter to "sleep." Earthworm cocoons, however, are much more tolerant to freezing and worm eggs within a cocoon survive deep in the soil over winter to hatch in the spring when conditions are right.

Q. What do earthworms do when it gets too cold, too hot, or too dry?

A. Earthworms escape by either burrowing deeply into the soil (up to about 6 feet or 2 meters), or entering a reduced metabolic state known as estivation. Estivation is a form of hibernation that takes place when temperatures get too hot or too dry for earthworms. When conditions are favorable, the worms will emerge and resume normal activities.
