Adam was hanging around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely. So, God asked him "what's wrong with you?" Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to. God said that He was going to make Adam a companion, and that it would be a woman. He said, "This pretty lady will gather food for you, she will cook for you, and when you discover clothing, she will wash them for you." "She will always agree with every decision you make and she will not nag you, and will always be the first to admit that she was wrong when you have had a disagreement. She will praise you!!" "She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them." "She will NEVER have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it." Adam asked God "What will a woman like this cost?" "An arm and a leg!" Then Adam asked "What can I get for a RIB?" And of course the rest is history....... |

And thinking of the Nile, we have an absolute mass of that bulbous floating water plant on one of the ponds. It's increased so much over the spring and summer that we've been pulling lots of it out to clear enough space for the fish to swim in!
