No Independence Day activities for me! This country has taken a hard right turn away from liberty and freedom and the Constitution. It’s going to be a while before I celebrate again. 😢
I agree with you Teri. There really isn’t any reason to celebrate our Independence with the regime that is in the White House now!! It seems like they are trying to take away the rights we have left so it’s just a day to terrify dogs😢😢
Is the name on that compact mirror "CNISH"? That's all I could make out. Can't the Chinese even spell "knish"? And what's with the red blotches. It is an acne compact mirror? Can't wait to do the lettuce thing, thank you. But how would you do celery? What do you plant? The wide white part? I remember planting an avocado pit in water with toothpicks in grade school, it was so exciting to see it bloom, but I don't remember ever seeing an avocado grow out of it. Also, don't potatoes grow out of planted potatoes? Let's bury the rethuglicans and see if we can grow zombies. No July 4th in this house, we'll be sitting shiva for amerikkka. I love your artwork, the dogs are totally awesome, and I laughed out loud at the dog with the tennis ball in his mouth. You are SO GOOD!!!! Thanks Merrill!
Watch the video and you will understand...you do the celery like the lettuce. You chop the entire bottom off in one piece, beneath the stalks. THe stalks are set free, You plant the bottom. Same with the bokchoy. Same w the lettuce. Yes...potatoes! THat really works too. You bury them and then a plant grows and beneath that plant, little potatos are waiting in the dirt. You search for them like Easter eggs. But the lettuce gives you tiny heads of lettuce all over your kitchen....and that is very refreshing and also does not remind me of our authoritarian descent into fascism.
And ALL of the whining was pithy epiphanies. I am okay with ONE character showing some growth. And I vote for Richie. But come on: EVERY DAMN CHARACTER is full of the wisdom of hard earned life lessons? ALL OF THEM? Plus: No cooking. I want to see cooking!
I am going to try the lettuce trick, because, why not.I always dread the 4th for my dogs. I live in the SFV, and the fireworks have been insane since Apri.This year I need a lecturer to explain to me why we are celebrating the end of our democracy.
It's been a long time since I've liked the 4th July once I became educated to the facts of noise pollution, air pollution, water pollution, wildlife disruption, fires!, oh, and the terrorizing of dogs and people. But I'm happily intrigued and fascinated with the tiny lettuce horticulture growing in your kitchen.
You did not mention that the dogs can at least be happy about all the barbecue. We had a dog that was very good at stealing the meat from the hands of unsuspecting guests.
Bok choy! Do you ever pickle it? Also, fan of compact mirrors. I have one I bought 45 years ago at Bigelow’s Pharmacy on Sixth Avenue in the Village, NYC.
Thanks MM! I have a cat. This means I spend the 4th laying on the floor mostly making sure she doesn’t soil an area that I can’t reach. This year there may also be some crying, but the baby lettuces give me hope.
It's hell on earth for veterans with PTSD too.
Good point.
Thanks for the lettuce info! I had no idea…
I’m going to try that next time buy lettuce
This lettuce thing is life changing for me. Thx.

I’m attending a gathering, and I will wear black for mourning. 😭
I’m considering wearing black, too, or at least a black armband. It seems appropriate.

Merrill, please put in your will that you are donating your brain to science. You are a light in the darkness.
Thank you Triple D! Tell that to the people who just left because my post was too silly.
I will! Im restacking now.
yeah I loved the bear but this season was..whining. And more whining and yelling at each other while whining. It was a relief when it was over.
And ALL of the whining was pithy epiphanies. I am okay with ONE character showing some growth. And I vote for Richie. But come on: EVERY DAMN CHARACTER is full of the wisdom of hard earned life lessons? ALL OF THEM? Plus: No cooking. I want to see cooking!
ye I said pretty much the same thing to my husband like, is EVERYONE going to have a realization moment here?

Merrill; I love your art, particularly dog art!
THANK YOU!! At last 6 years of art school is paying off!

You can do it with carrots but all you get is a carrot top.
Not good enough. I was raised to put small pieces of vegetable in water and basically achive nothing exciting. But this is LETTUCE!
I thought Carrot Top was pretty good. I don't know why snobs hate prop comics.
Hahhaha! 👍🏼
Especially if he's in a bowl on the kitchen counter.
😂😂
