Pictures (not)

I had 6 or 7 pictures and I don't know where they went. Maybe tomorrow dagnabbit. I suppose my pics are floating around in cyber space.

here is the g/c/t with the pond attached:

this is where we sit under the oak trees during the day (at night it's too scary and creepy and clammy; even with a fire in the fire pit):

Computers - spit. about 20 more years and I'll get the hang of it.

Avoidance

I'm in here avoiding the pulling out of tall weeds in one of the last two flower beds that I have left to do. I did one corner and then ran screaming into the house. (oh, just kidding)

But seriously. What if today was my last day to live? Would I want to spend it this way? hmmm
well, what would I want to do then? Who knows not me.

Bob is not feeling well today; he sits with his head in his hands (this upsets the dog, who then wants to lick his face and paw his hands). But he won't take any of my suggestions, such as go to the hospital, lie down and take a rest, etc. etc. So now I'm avoiding him too because I don't know what to do about it.

(I just checked, he did go to bed.)

I am assuming we did not win the Dream House this weekend, because unlike other years, we didn't buy a ticket. Take THAT. damitol

I am going to go get my digging-pulling tools and continue on.

Ewww

Mercy brought a big fat toad up on the deck and put it at my feet. It was upside down, white on the bottom but had arms and legs moving. At first I couldn't understand what it was; when I did, I fled and called the Toad Removal System (Bob).

It was a horrible, horrible, thing. why anyone would want to be a toad is beyond me.

Now That It's Spring...

.. we are clearing out the flower beds and planting things. oh wait... it's not spring. Hey. I never claimed to know what I was doing. all part of my plan of getting through life in a sort of disjointed way.

Now that we have some clearage done I'm getting enthused about putting a whole new shade garden in, in the spring. I am just going to get a whole collection or something. I have never been able to make that shade bed work, thus the weeds.

Cleared out 3 beds so far, two more to go. sigh What was I thinking.

And another thing

... people crossing the street should go directly across; NOT meander across at an angle. taking the longest POSSIBLE time to cross the street. Foolish people.
