lighter, keys or change pocket (as in, change your ways if that's all you have left of a paycheck).

brunch today was something like lasagna but made with elbow macaroni and swiss cheese was put on top. garlic bread. cole slaw. peanut butter pie. dinner was a few pieces of garlic bread, some orange wedges, a piece of chocolate and a few peanuts. i will be very happy to have leftovers for...

i think i have both the peas and the beans sprouting. :)

catching a buzz. or his version of hot sauce.

raccoon is my vote, they tend to get into things if they are fertilized with anything fishy or the potting soil has any fertilizers in it that might smell interesting to them plus they are really curious. you would never think that any animal would be interested much in onions, but we've had...

you know the expression fathead? well that's applicable to many animals where a lot of the fat in their body is in their brain (same for humans).

2 miscreants (aka chipmunks) were lured in by the sweet seduction of the dried grape to their dooms... it's not something i really enjoy doing, but we're really getting overrun by chipmunks already and the season is just getting started. i'm wondering how many i will have to keep trapping...

did get the other plumber scheduled to come by Monday to fix the exterior faucet - i mentioned i'd like a better quality one because the one we had put in some years ago didn't last very long. we'll see how that goes...

i set up the rat trap hoping to get a rather persistent and pesky chipmunk, watered the tiny garden i planted. then i fixed things and buried other things and then weeded parts of several gardens so it looks a bit nicer out there now than it did before. rains due tonight and tomorrow so i can...

i never seem to have any problem keeping busy and having fun in the off season here. i really don't mind having a good excuse to stay in and read a book and drink hot chocolate.

hello and welcome back. :) :)
