Turn the facuet off!


Can ya see them? Oh come on, surely you can see them -- look closer! Hell, if necessary click on the photo and it will get bigger.




Yes, dandelions, my favorite flower and don't say there are weeds, even weeds have feelings (smile).


Okay,so you prefer the tulips, I hear ya. This one is pretty cool and more are joining it -- well, I am assuming more are joining it, the rain is keeping me inside, duh?




Can ya believe it, this is the last week of April – hurrah. On Thursday I shall once again, depart the area and head first to Syracuse, then on to Maryland and eventually tour around Washington, D.C. It has been many years since I trek around the nation’s capital and my daughter said, “Yes, they have electric lights now.” And I kindly inquired, “can one still sit on Lincoln’s lap” and she replied, “You do know he’s dead, right?” It’s always a joy to know I raised kids with a sense of humor!!!

Oh ya, I also bought a new car, well, not brand new but new in the sense that I’m now driving a 2007 vs. a 1999 jeep! Hey, this 2007 has some serious kick ass pick up – hope I can handle this and not wipe out as I “gun it” in heavy traffic? Ya, like that would happen, NOT!

Oh poop, I meant to pick up some potting soil, some seeds and begin my starter kits – damn, the mind just wandered right off that idea when I was in town doing other errands – ye gads. I kind of like my mini-greenhouses and for whatever its worth, they do work. Hey, if all else fails I can always put plants all ready growing or better yet, graze in my daughter’s garden or my brother’s – if all that fails, the Amish definitely have some great fresh veggies at a decent price. Well, let’s hope they stand within reason, seems like the economy goes south and fools up the prices on everything, including manure and dirt--– what the hell!!

Well, its continues to rain and you know what, this makes for a lovely nap weather, so I'm gonna plunk down in my favorite chair, turn the telly and promptly have me a little ole nap. You enjoy your day, okay?




Keep smiling

Flowers

Okay, now you get to see the infamous tulips? Ready? Only one has burst open but hey, more are about to pop. So, this proves you can be totally ignorant about such things and still end up with flowers -- unreal.




There is no time like spring when life's alive in everything! The small flowers are unknown to me, just popped up and kind of pretty so I let'em do their own thing.

Aw the thrill of it all -- silly but fun!

Friday at Last

Yup, it's Friday and now that the meds are starting to kick in, I am feeling much better. In fact, as soon as the village office opens I plan to go get my fishing license, then my sister-in-law and I shall head out to the ole fishing hole. Well, maybe we'll just try our luck at the Norwood Lake? What the hell, gotta start somewhere, right?

However, as bright as the day is and me feeling better I am slightly pissed. You see something is eating my tulips and that is really pissing me off! Whatever it is, digs up the bulbs, chews on it a bit and then, moves on to another bulb. Sneaking little sucker!

I sprinkle soap flakes out there today -- chew on these you nasty little demon. Have no idea how to rid myself of this creature. I could (probably should) have laid down chicken wire so they couldn't get the tulips but that seemed like a lot of work. Ya, some mulch might be the cure.

Hey, I'll take any suggestions you folks have to offer -- I mean, it would be nice to have a few tulips actually bloom.
