 Scrawny?
 



After a hard day of being chased by birds, dodging cars, burying and unburying nuts, fighting off bunnies and other predators for his walnut pile on my porch, I found out where Scrawny goes every night to unwind:

 Small Blessings
 


I got up early this morning and looked out on the back porch and there was Lettuce eating the pistachio nuts.

Then Scrawny jumped up on the rail and arched her back and, I do believe, hissed as Lettuce!

So, I went out and chased them both away and put down a pile of nuts and carrots and lettuce leaves.

By the time I got home again, Lettuce had eaten her carrots and lettuce leaves and was back on the porch eating the pistachios.

I have to move my geranium pot. Scrawny keeps burying nuts in it.

My son has summer Phys. Ed. so that he can attend the Vo-Ed. They don't do phys. Ed. there. His class was full of other V0-Ed students. He said they are pretty funny and friendly...and he had a good time. They have other things to do on some afternoons and Saturdays...they only have to attend a few but TJ asked to attend them all cuz, "I don't have a life." The other boys apparently laughed and some of them and some of the girls said they'd come to all of the extra things too, cuz they don't have lives either! There is this one really big kid...tall, large, drives a pick-em-up truck that kinda befriended TJ. Remember...TJ is only 5'4". I told TJ it is good for a guy his size to have a friend THAT size. He just laughed. So...he enjoys his class and the other kids. And I am feeling so much better in general. Thank you Lord for small blessings.

 Too Many Things
 

I saw some shots of the gathering of the GS in D.C. yesterday for the 95th anniversary sing-along. I was scanning the pictures for the girls with the gold shirts and blaze bandanas. That was my daughter's troop. I was actually looking for a shot of my baby's face! There was GS troops there from other countries, too. I haven't heard anything from her or her troop leader since Thursday night when I got the call that the troops had landed safely at their destination. Her leader believes in the philosophy that no news is good news. I understand that but it still keeps me on pins and needles.

I have a little backyard problem now. It seems some other little gray squirrel is trying to take over on Scrawny's nut breakfasts. I saw Scrawny chasing the other squirrel across the lawn and into the neighbor's yard!

The other thing this morning...listening to Headline News...what LeBron thinks will happen on the series finale of The Sopranos. Who gives a flying pig?!?! I have no problem deciding which show I will be tuned into tonight.

As for The Sopranos...I could never watch that show. I'm sorry, but I don't find strung together profanity entertaining. When I was growing up, in my little corner of the world, anyway, profanity was something well educated moral ppl just didn't use on a normal basis. You knew if you heard a cuss word come out of an adult person's mouth that you had better find a place to hide...cuz they were explosively angry. That is the only time you will hear the 'f' word come out of my mouth...and I have to be REALLY REALLY mad...ready to 'splode all over kingdom come. My kids know my level of anger/frustration by the four letter word that they might hear. "S**t" means that a 'mistake' was made and I have a mess to clean up. "D**n" means I'm pretty upset about someone/something and they can peak to ask what is wrong but they are afraid it was them that did the thing that made me upset. BUT if they hear "FFFFFFFFF*****C*!!!" all bets are off and they are hiding! I cannot stand to listen to anyone that uses profanity in every sentence or in place or REAL adjectives.

AND, if I was one of those astronauts on that space shuttle I'd be using LOTS of profanity at those NASA engineers right now. You could NOT pay me to go up on one of those. Peeled back insulation? Like, okay...let's have a barbeque and guess what kind of meat we're cookin'?

Okay...I'm done. Hope everyone can enjoy their day. I finished my gardens yesterday...FINALLY. The weather has been so perfect! sunny, 70's, breezy. Aaaahhhhhh. Of course, the nurseries are having their sales this next week on perennials...

 The Perfect Day
 

Okay...the squirrel decided she likes the pistachios. THANK YOU! Now I don't have to figure out what to do with that bag o'nuts.

The bunny still won't eat the parsley...but the hamsters will. So, I bought the bunny some bib lettuce. We'll see just how picky she is.

Today is THE most perfect day. Light breeze, sunshine, not too hot...beautiful. And on days like this...the daddy goes golfing.

I bought MORE plants and I am going to go bury them.
