Last you will hear from me here. You can find what I wrote today here, and you can asked to be put on my notify list. It comes from me, not yahoo or anyone. Commenting there does not require some mystery code either. Helps if you leave your name.

Hate losing all my friends, so hope they see this.

If anyone ever again says join for Life again I am going to ask whose life?  Or maybe we should of asked for a profit/loss statement first.

I've paid for a journal site long before blogs. Send an email if you want to know where it is. And as for downloading your archives, I got:

Sorry, the page you requested could not be found

The link might be broken, the page might no longer exist… or else our servers might've temporarily forgotten where to find it. 

How's that for a vote of confidence? Want to join their newest fundraiser?

About 7:45 a.m. I showed up at daughter's as I was concerned yesterday about prep. I must learn to trust more! Took some pictures, petted Baron and came home.

Wil went out later and put the PT on the street to get the truck out. Tony was in the back yard mowing, I was watching Rockford Files killing time until I had to go back and meet Kyle with the plants.

What you see are all xeriscape plants, 1 muhly grass, far right, salvia far left. Skull cap, Blackfoot Daisy, New Gold Lantana and Bat Face.

While I was watching TV I got a call to come look at my car. Drivers door window was shattered! Wil called to come home, police called for insurance is going to want that. No rock seen on the ground. Watch Safe Lite, they kept me an hour on the phone and then told me they couldn't get here until next Wed. and the shop across town was backed up. Learned from our insurance agent they don't really like to use them. So why did the long distance call to insurance give me their name? Well they haven't told them yet. sigh..

When I left her house a whole lot of grass was still in her driveway, they are having to use a wheelbarrow to get it into back yard. Kyle told me they will water it down really well when they get done, but then that monkey is on my back. Told Mike if I miss church Sunday he will know why.

Got home some poor old lady was walking from the bus stop trying to figure out where they told her to go when she came back from the library. I got her some water, put her in the truck and drove her to the bus stop.  Then into the shower I went. Oh and before I did that I got cleaner and cleaned Wil's steering wheel. I was getting black grimey junk on my sweaty hands.

Humid today, due to recent rain daughter's yard won't be cleared of dead grass today. I visited with her neighbor and assured her hopefully soon she will see green as she looks out her dinning room window. Lovely lady, housebound with back problems.

Betty Lou sent me this and I thought how appropriate. I should print it out for the landscaper.

Gardeners would enjoy this imaginary conversation between God and
St. Francis. It is funny because  it is so true........

GOD:
Frank you know  all about gardens and nature. What in the world is
going on  down there on the planet? What happened to the dandelions,
violets, milkweeds and stuff I started eons ago? I had a  perfect
no-maintenance garden plan. Those plants grow in any  type of soil
withstand drought and multiply with abandon. The  nectar from the
long-lasting blossoms attracts butterflies  honey bees and flocks of
songbirds. I expected to see a vast  garden of colors by now. But all
I see are these green  rectangles.


St. FRANCIS:
It's  the tribes that settled there Lord.. The Suburbanites. They
started calling your flowers 'weeds' and went to great lengths  to
kill them and replace them with  grass.


GOD:
Grass? But it's  so boring. It's not colorful. It doesn't attract
butterflies  birds and bees only grubs and sod worms. It's sensitive
to  temperatures. Do these Suburbanites really want all that grass
growing there?


ST.  FRANCIS:
Apparently so Lord. They go to great pains to grow  it and keep it
green. They begin each spring by fertilizing  grass and poisoning any
other plant that crops up in the  lawn.

GOD:
The spring rains  and warm weather probably make grass grow really fast.
That  must make the Suburbanites happy.

ST.. FRANCIS:
Apparently not Lord. As soon as it grows  a little they cut it,
sometimes twice a  week.

GOD:
They cut it? Do  they then bale it like hay?


ST. FRANCIS:
Not  exactly Lord. Most of them rake it up and put it in  bags.

GOD:
They bag it?  Why? Is it a cash crop? Do they sell  it?

ST. FRANCIS:
No Sir  just the opposite.
They pay to throw it  away.

GOD:
Now let me get  this straight. They fertilize grass so it will grow.
And  when it does grow they cut it off
and pay to throw it  away?

ST. FRANCIS:
Yes  Sir.

GOD:
These  Suburbanites must be relieved in the summer when we cut back
on the rain and turn up the heat. That surely slows the growth  and
saves them a lot of work.

ST. FRANCIS:
You aren't going to believe this Lord.  When the grass stops growing
so fast they drag out hoses and
pay more money to water it so they
can continue to mow it
and  pay to get rid of it.

GOD:
What nonsense. At least they kept some of the  trees. That was a sheer
stroke of genius if I do say so  myself. The trees grow leaves in the
spring to provide beauty  and shade in the summer. In the autumn they
fall to the ground  and form a natural blanket to keep moisture in the
soil and  protect the trees and bushes. It's a natural cycle of  life.

ST. FRANCIS:
You  better sit down Lord.. The Suburbanites have drawn a new  circle.
As soon as the leaves fall they rake them into great  piles
and pay to
have them hauled  away.

GOD:
No!? What do  they do to protect the shrub and tree roots in the
winter to  keep the soil moist and loose?

ST. FRANCIS:
After paying to have the leaves hauled away.
they go out
and buy something which they call mulch. They haul it home and  spread it around in place of
the leaves.

GOD:
And where do they get this  mulch?

ST. FRANCIS:
They  cut down trees and grind them up to make the  mulch.

GOD:
Enough! I don't  want to think about this anymore.



St. Catherine you're in  charge of the arts. What movie have you
scheduled for us  tonight?

ST.  CATHERINE:
'Dumb and Dumber'
Lord.. It's a story  about....

GOD:
Never mind I  think I just heard the whole story from St.  Francis.
