Well, got up to more rain this morning. That wouldn't bother me so much only I have 3 tomato plants and a zucchini plant that is growing in my living room. Even that wouldn't be bad if they were in pots but they are in these little pods like something from the movie where everyone was being put in a pod and coming out different. I don't know about you but I don't want my zucchini and tomatoes plotting to put me in one of those things to teach me a lesson. Rain is nice though it makes everything look clean and pretty except the cars and the dogs. Both of which seem to find mud holes a nice play place.
I've had enough rest though sitting around waiting on the ground to dry out. I am ready to get down to some serious business with this landscaping and yard work. I would love for most of it to be done before vacation. Plus it seems to speed up my weight loss to get out and work in the yard. There is not a piece of gym equipment on the market today that can take the place of a workout you get when you have to push mow your grass. I even have a plan that involves tilling up the dirt in the ditch that surrounds the property so I will quit having waterfalls in the yard every time there is a down pour. This place is starting to look like the rapids on the Ocoee River when it rains. All the soil is washing away and the tree roots are starting to show. Thanks again to my wonderful neighbor who thinks only of herself. If she really wants a beautiful yard with lots of grass CUT DOWN THOSE PINE TREES! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that it is cheaper to get rid of a few trees and let the light in than to have thousands of dollars of cross ties and dirt thrown on the property and from the direction I have to see it from it looks, hum how can I put this...TACKY.
Weather man says I have to put up with this for a while longer though because it is going to rain spacing out intervals of sun just enough that there is not going to be any dry top soil for me to get for a while. Maybe I should just get a huge billboard to set in the backyard where the garden and the top soil is suppose to go and have it painted like I want that area to look. Then when I look outside it will always be beautiful, the grass will always be cut, and I can eat cookies and listen to the birds sing while my behind just keeps getting bigger.
Speaking of the birds singing. We have this wonderful little creature that has decided to build its nest just above the door to the carport. Me and Kelcy are just waiting until it flies out and poops on our heads as it tries to leave the nest. When it does we agree we will no longer care about birds. Look everyone has to have a place to live, even in the wild, but bird poop on my head? Not cohesive to you and I getting along.
Well the dryer just buzzed signaling that it is time to put down my coffee and fold clothes, and there are always a thousand things to be done around here if you only look. Guess I will start some of those things that way I won't feel like I wasted my entire day. I feel just a little sneaky though. Kelcy has been picking on me for weeks now. If I could only find some way to get her back before she gets up...I can fluff the clothes. Hehehe
