Crop Dusting

And I'm not talking about when your son silently lets one off and runs out of the room, leaving you in the smog of awful stench.  Although that, too, is crop dusting.

Yesterday while we were hanging out waiting for friends to come over for the UFC fights that were free, we heard what sounded like a plane landing right on our house. And even though it didn't land, it was very, VERY close! He was coming straight through our back yard.

Do you see that?? It was INSANE, but totally cool, how close he came to our house.

BUT, ICK!! Look at the trail of pesticide he had left behind. There is a soybean crop field that is on the other side of the houses.

 This is right above our house.

He looped out around the neighborhood and I caught a picture of him and the moon. We thought he was done, so we went back inside. Only to hear him, once again, roaring over our neighborhood. I stepped out around the corner of the house and this is what I found.

No, he is NOT in the trees, but it kind of looks like it, though, right? He zoomed up and away, missing them by a hair. O loved it as the show went on for about 30 minutes with approximately 2 refills on the chemicals he was spraying. It was neat to watch because I've seen him around the area and have wanted to capture a few shots.

I'm going to leave you with this shake recipe that I found today, thumbing through some comments on a blog. Someone suggested to use sugarfree butterscotch pudding to thicken your shake in place of a banana. I thought, what a GREAT idea! James doubted, but later recanted his opinion.

Here it is:

Butterfinger Smoothie
2 handfuls of ice
1 tbs peanut butter
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder (I used EAS)
1 cup of milk ( your choice. I used 2%)
1 tbs sugar-free butterscotch pudding

Add in that order to your blender, ninja, magic bullet, or vitamix (whichever you may have). Blend and drink slowly. You don't want to get a brain freeze! You will NOT be disappointed if you like butterfingers.

I hope you enjoy! Let me know if you try it out!

Have a great week! It's bound to be a busy one for me!

Much Love,

Miss T
