Prestoni'sPlace

Rambles of a demented soul. Leading a quiet life on the rock, with dogs and chickens. Have been on the planet almost 7 decades. Born in the depression, been through some more in better times, but have survived pretty much intact physically. Born an artist, have done music, art, drafting, cooking at various times in sequential decades. I am fascinated with geology, and consider myself a fossil...... will die an artist. Artists don't retire. Nothing to retire from!!!!!!

Farewell and welcome!

Tom Delay!!!! @#%@&*!! Bon chance. Bye Bye to pie in the sky.... Oh frabjous day, callou! callay! The fruminus bandersnatch is gone (from the halls of congress, at least!!) Guess he needs that huge campaign war chest to fight Ronnie Earl!!!!




Rare sighting of the beautiful Celestial. Of all places, in Zack's drive!!! These beautiful little lilly iris things are only in bloom a few hours. I spotted one near his parking spot the other day, and did not have my camera, or was too tired to bother that day. Went out looking for it the next day, and it was gone. Then at quitting time, I discovered a bunch of them, some growing right up through gravel! Charateristics: lavender blue, out of a center circle of white, with yellow/orange tri-partite stamen over the pistil. about 2 inches across, 6 petals, overlapped in the above example. Long skinny leaves..... nimastylis geminiflora.... for those of you who speak Latin.
