OK, get your butts in here… grab some fresh made coffee or use the nuke machine to make some instant… or hot tea or cider or or or… There are some blueberry muffins over there.I ain’t cookin’ today.. I’m on strike!Or sumfin!
The Boss man has been pickin on me… the Marv has stated with no hesitation that I am a vampiress. (But, he says, I’ve still got good looking legs!)lololIs that a plus if you are a vamp?Vamp = old fashioned term for very sexy Goth style female.I think that describes me to a T!lololI don’t mind being called a vamp… I am an outrageous flirt who propositions the store manager and asks the Sheriff if I can play with his pistol… Now I am crackin’ up… I do this in public mind you.And I haven’t gotten arrested yet… Just a matter of time…lolol
There are some really neat things about being 74 1/3 years old.I can say anything I want and people let me get by with it…LOLOLWho’s gonna stop me?If I am this bad in public, can you imagine how much worse I would or could be if anyone tried to change me?It boggles the mind!
Oh, I have the best news… I just got a call ref a friend who had major surgery today.Friend’s wife called me from the hosp… He’s doing very well…and I even got to talk to him for a minute.Wowser…She and I both cried.We’ve decided to share him 50 –50.lololIs this wonderful news or what!?!Not the sharing, ding dings, the surgery!I gave my word not to use names so I won’t… Just know that he is one of mine and that I’ve been tormenting the hell out of him… He also has a broom with him!I’m pretty sure that Broom is keeping him on the straight and narrow while he’s bedfast… His broom reports to my broom almost daily!
Gotcha Brat!
Let’s see here.. what else… Oh, when I went out to the mail box last nite… after dark…I saw something move on the driveway.OH OH, now what?
How bout a toad?A big toad!
The Spudley discovered it right away and started nosing and poking at it. I stood and watched for a few minutes.Lolol The Spudley does not, however, mouth the toad.This tells me he’s already played with toads and gotten the poisonous emissions from them.Dogs will only pick up a toad one time and that’s it!So that rules the Spuds out for the frog under the fridge.Only 5 more suspects to go!And then there’s the possibility of the cats…or the neighbors or or or… Oh, I know… It was the sheriff!Lolol Poor Kelly… I’m pickin on him….I am also kidding!
Another thing… Draco, better known as Dragonpainter, sent me some pix he has taken of the pond/lake near his home.Good shots and some great manipulations of color and line in his work… He’s given me permission to show his work in the news.Now, do you think I can get them to transfer? I’m going to try one more thing… I printed one of the scenes out. Now I have to reverse the process and put it into my puter.Keep fingers crossed everybody… I hope this works… lolol
Only took me an hour and a half to get the pic to this location.Sheesh! I am the world’s slowest on figuring this stuff out… Plus… my photo explosion locked up… several times… Had to debug and defrag and and and.!. I cussed a lot!Screen and printer are still in on piece..that is a plus!
Guess that’s it for now… Still trying to work my way back to day shift…The impossible dream at work!
Take care all of mine, go in safety always.Remember that a malfunctioning puter can teach you patience if you give it a chance.Personally, I am all for throwing a brick thru the screen.
Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter each day… meems
I want you all to look at what the Boss did to me! Just because I had a small problem fixing popcorn the other nite. It’s a gotcha of the first order! Lolol But is it nice? Well, it coulda been a lot worse…The Garymeister knows too much on me. Lolol However, I predict and vow that I will get even… This is an ongoing battle. I am short on patience and usually jump right back. The Boss, on the other hand, sits back and waits until I come out of the fall out shelter. Me, thinking I am safe and that he has forgotten, gets nailed right away. Lolol I am crackin’ up and having more fun.
I don’t know where this one came from after all these years but I got to thinking about embarrassing moments I’ve observed over the years.
The Dance… I always wanted to dance… always. Well, I finally was able to take ballet classes when I was about thirty. Yup… leotard, tights, little ribboned slippers, ribboned toe shoes..(them things is killers unless you pour alcohol on them and wear them til they dry.) Little wrap around skirts… tutus… all of them goodies. Hair had to be just so and long.
And daily workouts at the barre, BARRE guys, not bar! Day after day until the steps and the movements became first nature. My two girls and two of the neighbor girls would be down in the basement at the barre every day too. Work work work. Lolol
Now, in the city of Hamilton, there were no ballet performances to be seen. But Cincinnati did. I saw the Royal Canadian Ballet troupe perform at Mount St. Joseph… Fantastic… I went to see the opera AIDA at the zoo because the opera had a short ballet segment. I got tickled because the apes would sing along. And there’s nothing like the roar of a lion to get your attention.
Well, then a friend and I went to a matinee performance at UC auditorium to see a ballet. The UC ballet troupe performed…Oh, dear… the male lead was terrible. Sorry, but it’s true. In my mind, I started calling him glue foot.
The female dancing the pas de deux was delightful. Ok so I am watching everything closely... technical mind set here.
I see a movement in the audience … a man, several rows below and to my right, who stands up and starts moving toward the stage. I zero in on him and notice he is carrying a rather large camera. I go back to the performance but my attention is split.
I am still sorta watching the camera guy. He gets to the rail/wall surrounding the orchestra pit. Throws a leg up and over and then promptly falls into the pit! Camera and all… ????
I didn’t see what I just saw, did I? Before this all sinks in, I see the silhouette of a camera rising above stage floor level. Taking a pic of ‘glue foot’ and the damsel?
Still not having a good grasp on what has just happened, I turned to Pat and whispered “Did I just see….†That was as far as I got.
Pat sort of squealed “I know!â€â€¦ It sank in that she was hysterical. That set me off… Neither one of us could move. Every ounce of my energy was centered on not laffing out loud… Like laffing in church or getting tickled at a funeral, it just isn’t done.
How come it is that the harder you try not to make a sound, the worse the urge becomes?
With that question hanging in the air, I think I’ll stop for now. Lolol Take care all of mine, go in safety always. Remember that control should always be a part of your life… never laff out loud at the ballet unless you are supposed to!
Many hugs, much love and loads of lafter every day. meems
Dopey dog… Notice the hole in the screen over his shoulder…lolol Nov ‘09
I had in mind to mention the Little Jake’s comment on the hole in the screen… lololWay back when, he said it looked like a Playboy Bunny!Well, when I posted the pic yesterday, I get a message from LJ reminding me of his original comment… lololLike I would forget that…lololol hugs brat!
Then there was the bit about the popcorn… Have you any idea how long it’s been since I’ve popped popcorn on the top of the stove??Years and years!
Well, the other nite, I wanted some popcorn… I go to the cupboard and drag out the jar of Orville’s stuff… plus the butter flavored oil also by Orville. I’m out of the nuke stuff.I pour some oil in the old pressure cooker (all rings and thingies removed from it).Then I dump in the corn….Have electric ring turned up pretty high.I shake rattle and roll until it stops popping.I notice in the meantime, the popped corn is almost plugging up the hole where the vent thingy used to be… Uh oh!Hmmmm….Now what?!?!
I undo the lid… lift carefully… and now have popcorn all over the stove top.I think I put too much corn in the pot.I mean all OVER the stove and the counters and the floor and and and… The dogs are now having a feast at my feet.
I am starting to get the hint that any electrical appliance has it in for me.“Get her, guys… she’s trying to cook again!â€lololThe one good thing was that I didn’t need to sweep the floor… the dogs took really good care of the fall out…
Then, I’m pretty sure I mentioned installing Incredimail… I had it before, removed it and then re-installed.
I’ve discovered they added a few new tricks…I sit here calmly deleting messages… My ‘deleted items’ file is starting to get over loaded so I decide to delete the deletes… I delete… and all of a sudden this little dump truck backs onto the scene… picks up the trashed can… empties the can into the back of the truck.Truck then scoots out of the scene to the right.
Hmmm… did I just see that… or have I become hypnotized by all this new stuff… I can’t wait til I have another deleted deletes to find out.Lolol Powerful stuff falls out of my puter every once in a while. I am crackin’ up… It’s a cute lil truck… gonna have to check out the driver tho.I dunno if he will come up to my flyguy standards or not… (Flyguys have cute buns)I bot a rifle scope just so I could check out the second windows of them BBSBs as they go over the house. Something about seeing a ‘moon’… Meems is being bad.
Oh, LJ sent me the funniest joke… I am still giggling over it… but I can’t tell ya all… It’s just a bit ornery… but Lordy pete, it is funny!Need I mention that LJ is a flyguy vet?Lolol Gotcha Brat!
I have to tell you about Chris… One of the managers at the Save A Lot.I looked for him when I went in the store the other day but didn’t see him.Next thing I know, there he is standing in front of me… two of the stock guys right behind him…lololHe asked me how I was doing..
Well, I gotta tell ya I was a bad girl again… I propositioned him.Lolol
What can I say… The expressions on those three faces were priceless!Lolol I got tickled… Grasscutter disappeared … the stock guys just stood there with their mouths open…Chris recovered nicely and gave me a hug.Sorry Brat… I could not not tell… lolol
Eat your hearts out Ladies… He is tall, good lookin’, cute and has a delightful personality… He’s gonna kill me when he sees this… lololGotcha Brat… hugs
Ya know what?I best be getting off here… I can see I am going down-hill rapidly… lolol
Take care all of mind… go in safety always.Remember to tease and torment at will… the paybacks are delightful too and will stay with you all day.Lolol
Many hugs, much love and lots of laffter… the rotten to the core meems
I could have sworn it was Monday… but according to puterwon, it is still Sunday.Would my puter tell me a whopper?I have no idea whether it would or not… lololI’ve never asked before.After pondering for a moment or two, I’ve decided not to ask… Much safer… if it ain’t broke, don’t question the workings.I think that made sense.
Made the trip to the grocery store.Stopped at a couple of yard sales.Had to borrow $3 cash from the Grasscutter to buy a few frames.Lolol I have no cash whatsoever.I’d be hard pressed to come up with a few pennies.Lolol Truth, so help me.I don’t go anywhere… I pay everything by check…. And from what I am gathering,we’ve had two changes to the $5 bills since I’ve had one in hand.How long has that been?
Well, I’ve got to tell you that the Marv has been on my case ever since I went on midnite shift.Sheesh, that Brat is sooooo hard to please.He’s says he misses my gotchas during the day shift!Lolol Good grief… Well, all I can say is that I can do gotchas 24/7.So look out!
He wanted to know how the 6ix pack are reacting to my sleep changes.All I can tell you all is that they seem to like it a lot.I drifted awake between 1200 and 1730 hours today.Was so nice to not have to get up… to hurry to get ready to go someplace… Just drifting.
The dogs were still sound asleep… all curled up around the meems… the Spud was snoring softly…Pyggs was under the covers snugged up against my belly.The Ophie was curled behind my knees.And the Lilyputzer was in the small of my back.Other than the sound of the Spud snoring, there was nothing but quiet.Can you say: Heaven?Oh yeah.Could I leave well enuf alone?Nope, no way!Lolol
I wriggled around under the covers and started nudging critters where ever I found them.Oops!I now have 4 dogs awake and questioning.I started doggy play laffing and started playing Doggy Ghosty Games and I was it!
I scream and bark and laff and pull the covers over my head.The dogs start nose rooting and digging in the covers.They’re doing their huh huh huh laffs… They sneeze and snort and toss their heads… I am now giggling!Lolol I throw the covers back…. Pinch noses and cover dive some more… I haven’t even had my coffee yet!
The cats seem to think I am undignified!Can you imagine?I’m having the best time!
Oh, and guess what?I received a most wonderful gift from Draco today.A whole file of his photographs of the lake near his home.Beautiful shots.I can appreciate his love (shows in his work) of the lake. I would love to show you all some of the pix but I have not asked permission… If it is ever granted voluntarily, I will share them.
And I have to mention the Boss is pickin on me too… Has suggested that I take ‘anger management’ classes… lolol
What? Who? Me?Anger management?Just because I go off like a rocket at the unfair treatment of mine?Or treatment of me and all the retired who are unable to defend themselves.I think the Boss and the Marv know me too well…There are a few others out there who know me well also…They, however, are smart enuf not to pick on me!… or not!Lolol
I always say I make a good friend… a so so neutral and a really bad enemy.
Ok… What else?Oh, I have the bedroom window open!YES!Wasps and all… I HAVE THE WINDOW OPEN!!!!It’s a gorgeous day.Got all of 72 out there today!Air is dry… Breeze blowing across the fields.I can handle this with no trouble at all!Woo Hoo! Glorious!
I shot the hole thru the screen… 3 hunters one of whom was on my property…not 50 feet from the house…all armed with shotguns.The one was shooting into the lower field that close to the house.I fired a round from the .38.Hunter jumped a foot and started yelling at me… only response I made was “GET OFF MY PROPERTYâ€Hunter cussed me out and seemed to be really unhappy… He’s never come back!
Let’s see… Oh yeah…. Several of my rotten kids have expressed concern about my being alone here on the mountain… about my safety.I love you all but please, don’t worry about me.I am having the best time.I am careful…and Marv especially knows that if things get bad enuf that I will go out and sit by the pond and wait.I have had a very good life in my way and I am content.I’ve enjoyed each and everyday that I have had since my trip to the hospital 3+ years ago. Every day is a blessing no matter how much I grump about things. Lolol
Well, I think I’ll go swing one of my paintbrushes or sumfin… Later kids.
Take care all of mine…go in safety always.Remember each day is a gem to be appreciated in all its facets.
Many hugs, much love and lots of warm laffter… Meems
PS… I just may get the window screen patched today…SherriAnne mentioned bubble gum… Hmmmm… don’t think I’d better… The Spud would try to take it!lolol
Well Brats, get in here and have a seat.Make your own coffee this morning!Y’all know were everything is.I ain’t gonna touch that pot for the rest of the day.My loving g’daughter, Mandy, sent me that pot.And some exotic coffee… Coffee pot and I have been doing just fine.I thank you again Mandy.
OK so about a week later, I got a very mangled package in the mail… Lordy pete, now what?Well, I bring the package in and carefully open it.I’m not too sure what I will find.(you guys remember the Secret Admirer?The one who sends me all kinds of interesting gifts?)I open the package and there inside, I find a mashed box of coffee filters.OK so far, so good… Can’t do too much harm to a box of filters, can you?
Since I still have some old filters left, I take the box and put it in the coffee cupboard… This way, when the old ones run out, I’ll be able to find the new ones… or not…Things have a way of getting away from me around here.
Anyhow, I made a fresh pot of coffee this evening.Almost said morning cause that’s what it is to me… (I have no idea at the moment what day it is calendar wise. )I used the old filters… Oh dear… I think now maybe that it’s the filters and not the pot.Would sumfin like that happen to me?Oh yeah!
Not only was I forced to make a new pot of coffee (I am not fond of chewy coffee), I also had to clean up waterfrom a full pitcher that the cats had knocked over!(My cup runneth over!)Where’s the vanilla?!?
Now, here’s another lesson learned.This happened today.
I think I’ve told everybody that I re-downloaded Incredimail… (Marv hates it but do I listen?I don’t think so) Anyway.I have ALL my stuff and addys on Outlook Express.I had to reboot for some unremembered reason.I LOST Outlook Express!Lost it… and I ‘almost lost’ it.Sheesh.Incredimail had been posted as default… and it did.When reboot was over, I had nothing left of my email list.
Long story, short… I finally found OE… and had a duh moment… I printed out a copy of my list of friends.I had to experiment a little with the printer but finally made it…I scared the heck out of myself.
Don’t have a list anyplace else?Make one now!Will save you a lot of work , sweat and worry and need I mention, panic?Lolol
Another thing… It’s finally cooling down… YESSSSSSSSS!I love to sleep with the window open… Fan blowing in cool air… sleep sound… Oh yeah!Not!How bout the wasps have found the hole I shot in the window screen a couple of years ago.Four days ago, I checked the thermo outside that window.. no problem…Still hot…
Then two days ago, I spotted a rather large start to a paper wasp nest!In the corner between the window and the screen… right at the top of the thermometer!I now have nest… four guards on the nest and some cells that appear to be occupied.
Hmmmm!Well, until it gets really cold or the eggs hatch out or or or, I am stuck with a closed window.The wasps and I came to an agreement years ago… I don’t bother them and they don’t sting me… unless I get out of line. Would I do sumfin like that?Don’t answer!
One time, right after I moved up here on the mountain, I was climbing the back steps.Unbeknownst to me, the wasps had built a nest in a cavity on the underside of the hand rail… I grabbed the very spot… did I get stung?Oh yeah!Twice! Wasps don’t abide that kind of familiarity!
Lolol However, I was forgiven… I even set on the steps sometimes and just watch them guarding the nest… sometimes they come out from under the rail, park on top … We watch the clouds and the sky.
Well shoot, I forgot to tell you about me making popcorn the other nite… and I need to tell y’all about the dump truck! Maybe tomorrow…
Take care all of mine… go in safety always…Remember to treat others with respect…Some are like wasps and will sting if upset.Lolol
Ok, kids… come on it and set yourselves down… Coffee’s fresh… Bring your own donuts?We don’t have a donut shop for a hundred miles or so.I can make some fried biscuits tho… So yummy with real butter and lots of jelly or jam.(No cal… lololand I just told a whopper!)
I’m still on midnite shift… but am getting plenty of rest… sort of.LOLOLI was supposed to go grocery shopping today.Grasscutter (a friend and one of my kids) was going to come out and pick me up…and take me SHOPPING!Oh, I can get into so much trouble when I go shopping…Remember the last time I went… found the little pencil stool?I chuckle every time I see it in the living room…
Well, anyway, while I was out getting bitten by them lil flying critters, I watched the dogs romping around.The Spudley was on his back, feet in the air…trying to get his itchy spot scratched. The next thing I know, both his hind are busily scratching at his belly.Both going at the same time… I think he found his itchy spot. Lolol and I cracked up. or http://www.eons.com/photos/photo/685979-Spudley-on-full-alert
Speaking of the flying critters…I was bitten under the right eye by a mosquito (I guess) and I now have a large itchy lump there.Draco suggested that I get an eye patch.Said eyepatch would add to my mystique.Ok… so I ponder on the eye patch.Hmmmm… I decide I can do that… but only if I can have a diamond monogram on it… It would match my mink lined straight jacket which also has a diamond monogram.
Anna says that ‘They’ are going to fly over and drop the butterfly net and haul me away.Hey hey!Lolol Anna also calls me an ‘undercover agent’… I keep telling her that she’d best be watching the skies herself.
Is that it?I guess so… Sheesh!And here all you guys thot I wasn’t doing anything or anybody in my old age.Y’all have no idea!
I am up early, not because I want to be but because the Grasscutter is out there on the ‘beast of noise’ cutting the grass!Lolol He does such a good job… He got here so he could get the job done before the heat sets in again.Trust me, when he mows outside the bedroom window, he definitely gets my attention.
Did I mention that it was 90 in the shade yesterday?What happened to that beautiful cool August day (one) that we had this last week? It did cool down last nite tho… I went out after the sun was behind the trees to the west. Nice, nice, nice…. Oh dear… the six pack started playing doggy tag… I never quite figured out who was it tho, but I did manage to stay out from underfoot this time.
I walked around the yard for a bit and then went out to sit on the glider by the pond.I got so tickled at Viva… Her was hunting frogs… Do you suppose she was the one who put the frog under the fridge?Might have been but not sure.Another one of life’s little mysteries.LOLOL
Not a very good shot of the little critter but he was hiding in the ivy out front…I think my cam was ‘fused’!Or maybe it was me?
Well, between the no-see-ums and the mosquitoes I finally decided to come in… I hate the itchies!Wasn’t quite dark yet.
Woooo Hoooo…!!!!When I went out to talk to Grass cutter for a few, I looked up and lo and behold… Contrails all over the place.Boy, I tell you them guys are either scared to death of this sweet lil ol lady or they are obsessed with the Granny Grunge outfits.Whichever, it works… I saw them tic tac toe lines up there and smiled!Of course,I was really a killer good looker this morning… I had on the nice caftan, my finally dried out mocs but no teeth and hair uncombed.Them BBSBs must really love me!Lolol I am soooooo gorgeous first thing in the morning!Hugs guys and gals! I am sooo happy to see you up there.
Let’s see here… I have a tip… You know those little black bowls that you bake in?You know, the ones that come with raspberry sweet stuff or chocolate sweet stuff?Well, I save them little bowls now. They make the best ice cubes ever.
I clean the bowls and fill with water, or whatever.Freeze them… use 3 or 4 to put in my big mug to cool and dilute my pop; they just fit.You could add a cherry or a slice of orange for color and something to munch on when you get to the bottom of the mug.I think the kids would just love them… you could also put a stick in and freeze some cool-aid.I suggest you put the kids in the bathtub before handing these out.
Only warning on the above… be sure to check the bottom of the bowl for cracks before you do the refill.If cracked, pitch them.You can use both sizes to start flower seeds in… be sure to put a saucer under them, just in case…( I use a wood burning tool to punch holes in the bottom.Have plenty of ventilation while doing this or do it outside… Be careful… You don’t want a fire!)
Back to being out doors… I took the cam with me this time.Pockets do come in handy…lololStarted a couple more albums… One will have flowers and plants; the other is the start of wild critters.No, Sherri and Marv, I am not in there… lolol
Before I forget…I was playing with Topix yesterday… Went to the City of Hamilton to see what I might see.Welllllll, there’s a spot to post pix… I put a self portrait pic of myself… caption reads “Paula at 74 yoaâ€(years of age).Could NOT resist the temptation.Lolol My enemies are gonna be soooooo unhappy.I have the giggles.
Guess that’s it for now… Take care all of mine.Go in safety always.Remember to do something outrageous (but harmless) at least once a day.Then giggle!
Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter… The always up to sumfin meems
PS….a health problem cropped up again yesterday… Need to take a few days off to recover.Nothing serious at the moment.Take care of one another.I’ll check the mail each day… If anyone needs any help, contact me right away… hugs
OK, Daggone it! I spent the other day doing a special layout for the NEWS on MSWord. Did it turn out right when I c/p to anywhere else? I don’t think so. I have no idea what I am doing wrong… And I’ve tried to c/p YouTube’s… the link came out but the YT’s didn’t show up even tho there is open space for it.
Have I mentioned that I am a puter dummy? Only took me ten years to learn to copy/paste…lolol and now the puter doesn’t want to follow instructions?
Sheesh…Has any one ever thot that the puters take on the personality of the owner? Mine no longer argues/corrects me when I make up words as I go along.. lolol Do puters have a white flag… ‘I give up’ white flags? Puterwon has given up on the word ‘thot’… just takes it in stride nowadays…
Another thing, very important thing… The weather has changed for the better! Would you guys believe it was in the low fifties overnite? I even had the window open… fan blowing… A/C OFF! I am gonna live! YES! Fall is my favorite time of the year… Warm days… cool nites…air dryer. I can start getting outside to play in the dirt!
I even went out to get the mail before sunset… Dogs were playing doggy gotcha tag… I cracked up… Viva was it… and it is too funny watching little Pyggs play growling and attacking a dog that outweighs him by at least 80 lbs. The only dangerous part in this tag team match is if I see them heading for me… Good grief! You can find yourself on the ground in a heartbeat. Trust me, this is not a good place to be when the critters are romping… I expect any day to be trompled under a herd of buffalo… like what happens when the critters wake me when they figure I’ve had enuf sleep. I am black, blue, green, yellow and various shades of purple!
Have I mentioned that I like colors? You learn to after a short spell of the above treatment. I haven’t even gotten to the scratches and scrapes… Oh, the pain! Lololol
Let’s see here… Oh, I guess my Flyguys/gals have given up on me. While I was out checking for the mail, I stood in the drive-way for a long time. No BBSBs went over. I think I heard one in the distance to the east of me. But didn’t see a thing. No clouds up there either… just a hazy blue for as far as I could see. Maybe they’re addicted to my Granny Grunge outfits.. and I was cleaned up today… Purple caftan with embroidered pink roses at the neckline. Even had my hair combed… Wonders will never cease.
Now, here is sumfin bad to think about… Health care bill… paying taxes on insurance as income.. I will lose my home on the mountain…I retired from the Ohio State insurance… I will now have to pay taxes on what I worked for years ago? I am not a happy camper..
BTW, I did try to read the Health Bill… It made no sense and had soooo many loop holes and phrases written in such a manner as to do nothing but confuse the reader… Unless we, the people, get together and throw a hissy fit about this new biased law, we are all in a heap of trouble. I suggest strongly that you all contact your congressmen… and right now!
And then, there are the ‘death taxes’ … and the new property rights laws.
Sorry to be such a downer but truth is truth… and woe betide those who feel ‘it does not apply to me’.
I try not to be political but sometimes I must speak up. Biting my tongue nor sitting on my hands does not work. Just ask anyone who knows me well. Lolol
I managed to get some pix taken of the new 10’ tall lilies…They are blooming… lolol at something like two foots… I know, I know… it takes 3 seasons at least for them to grow that high…ten feets… The new roses are doing well… and it is starting to look like a jungle out there.
I’ve always wanted a country cottage type look to my homes… and this time, I have the room..Lots of room. Guess I should dig up some pics of the original neat and tidy lawn/yard and what I have growing now. The ivy is finally starting to grow on the west, hottest, side of the house. Eventually it will cover the brick and insulate it.
I’ve started different beds in many locations… I leave driving spaces between the beds so I can use Tildy to haul stuff. This is my very own garden of Eden… I have an acre and a third to play with… Now, if the weather will co-operate, I can get into all kinds of trouble out there.
The wild wisteria is going to seed pods… I am watching them closely. Want to salvage those and try to get them growing in another location. And then I have wild clematis growing on the guy-wire to the electric pole. The clematis is blooming like crazy. This one I’ll need to trim.
Guess that’d better be it for the time being. Take care all of mine. Go in safety always. Remember to take care of yourself… the earth depends on us and we depend on her!
Many hugs, much love and lots of lafter each day… meems
Awake, I listen and hear night sounds... Hunters baying on far hills... Nested hens murmuring soft comforts... My dog gently snoring. Tree frogs telling secrets of their own... and stars, so distant, have no voice but whisper to me with their beauty. I am at peace and will sleep later. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% One of life's little lessons: Never take a nap on your back with your ankles crossed.
