Oh my.

Have a Pair... of these Lovely... Vintage Wall Fountains.

<3

I've Sooooooo Wanted to get them UP... and, Flowing.

They are BEYOND Amazing.

: )

they, are also...

Beyond...

Heavy!!

GADS!!!

: )

{that's never stopped me... before.}

The Wild Grape....

: )

There's something magical, in my opinion...

to

the 

Wild...

relentlessly

unruly...

Vines.

Bittersweet, Wild Grape.... Englemann Ivy, and... more.

I... Truly Appreciate Them.

They have provided a 'Cloak' around our little slice of Pie, in Fairfax, Iowa.

A Sweet Friend, posted the above... on FB, yesterday.

{One of The Sweetest <3}

It touched me so, felt I should share it, here.

: )

I, know... many who read this crazy ass...

 everything, 

but

 'simple'

blog,

need to read 

The Above,

as much as I did.

<3 

Pass It On.

<3 <3 <3 

Yesterday... exchanged correspondneces with Fairfax's Mayor Beer.

 Had a sick feeling,  a few days ago...

that... possibly, 

the job opening for Fairfax's City Administrator position wasn't being 'shared', like it should be.

{Crystal Ball}

Made a few calls.

Turned out, sadly...

'Iowa Workforce' 

The Main Place, Folk's Go To...

{it's Free for Both Parties}

when Seeking a Job, and Seeking Benefits, was never notified of 

Fairfax's

'Search'

for 

a 

City Administrator.

uh oh.

: (

{A Smelly Smell, that... in my opinion, and... Mr. Krabs, Smells Smelly.}

Mayor Beer, responded... 

{I'm guessing she took other's 'word' for it. : ( 

THAT {in my opinion} Is What Has To STOP.}

"We don't use Iowa Workforce."

: (

The Truth Is...

Yes, Fairfax does.

The Clerk, and The Parks Director are on file, at 

Iowa Workforce, for contacts.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK.

Mayor...

Council.

Pick Up The Phone.

Question...

people, just...a little bit.

Mayor Beer, called me today.

<3

{Please Understand, I Adore This Mayor. She's... a rock, she has spine...

 we may not always agree, but at the end of the day...

I know, she Loves this little town. 

also know... 

She'll be Fair, regardless.

and...

I've sadly seen her be relentlessly 

bullied, over the years.

When she was a Councilwoman...

when she was a Citizen....

when, she is our Mayor.

: (

In my opinion...

Mayor Beer had better be Very Careful, 

with the information she's being Fed.

She must... Pick Up The Phone.

Double Check...

what 

she's being 'spoon fed'.

{my opinion}

So, my phone conversation... with The Mayor, today...

well,

seems Fairfax, Iowa....City Council, and 'City Hall' Folk's leaned on her hard, because Son, Justin... and I, didn't sit down, at the June 24, 2025... 'Special' City Council Meeting.

We Stood Tall, Together.

<3

We, in my words... were deemed,

'Intimidating'

{watch the video. I'll post it, yet again. tell me, how 'we' got out of hand, and were 'intimidating'?}

Freedom of Speech...

oh my.

The Constitution.

make sure ya listen to who is speaking, at the end.

Told The Mayor, today...

I will be attending Every City Council Meeting, I can.

From the moment the camera rolls, to the end it shuts down.

Countless Needles in my eyes.

Yes... sadly, it seems Folk's are labeled 

intimidating, when they 

Question...

Fairfax, Iowa... City Hall.

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.

{sadly... while visiting with the Darling... Iowa Workforce Gal... I asked her, if she was familiar with SpongeBob, and Mr. Krabs???

 She Laughed!!

 : )

She Got It, I do believe.}
