i guess by now you know that i can be quite moody at times, and for the past three days i've required silence in my life. that's not saying that i've had a hard time, nor a great time,...........let's simply stick to indifferent. my general form shapes, and molds onto those around me, and since i'm mostly around myself this can lead to awkward times.
i simply love being alone........most of the time. i do have limits though. i can't handle but so much of a good thing, and stuff starts to get crazy. shhhh,...............can you hear that? it's the sound of silence..........ain't it a beautiful thing? sometimes i require silence, but it seems like whenever i do,........i rarely get enough to say,........that i've got my fill.
have i spent the last three days in silence? you must be joking!! how could that ever happen? i do however like at times just to be surrounded by the sounds of nature. especially, at night time. i love the sounds that nature makes. the strange thing is now that i can't call every " noise maker " by name. living in Florida.......well,..........let's just say that the night time songs of some of these critters is far different than those in Bama.
the reason that i love the rain so much is the fact that every different kind of frog in Florida praises their creator every time it rains. let it stop raining for a minute, and their praises go up. it can be annoying at times........especially with the loudest, most precipitant of the group is very small. yep,........that's right,.........the biggest mouth in nature comes from a little green frog, about the size of your thumbnail!! them lil' critters sure have some great lung capacity!!
it should be no great mystery that i don't really have anything much to say today. i think that live has a lull point for me today, and that's a good thing. sure,.........i have plenty of stories of my life that i could be telling you, but life is not all excitement at times. they are just ordinary days like today. you want to hear about my project for today? i really can't believe that i've just said "today" four times in one paragraph!!
the excitement of my life takes me grocery shopping!! yeah!! i love to go to the store, and hand pick my food. i don't buy a bunch of pre-packaged food items, or quick T.V. dinners, nor frozen pizza's. i buy hand picked selection of fresh fruits, and vegetables to bring home and prepare. the same with the meat that i eat. i prefer fresh,........never frozen if possible.
hey Grandpa,...........wuz fer supper? well,.............them green beans at Winn-Dixie are sure looking good. they are super green and tender. i believe that they need to be steamed for full fresh flavor. the also have the first of the years sweet corn still in the husk that's just begging me to take a few ears home tonight. melt a little butter,.........real butter,............on those bad boys.........um mm good!! while i'm at it i might as well cook some taters to go with the beans and corn. i like mine mashed, smashed, whipped, or whatever you want to call em. add some sliced tomatoes, and a pone of hot cornbread, and that purty much makes a meal!!
now,.......of coarse i'm making enough for me and Bubba. Bubba doesn't cook much. in fact the most i've saw him cook is just chicken, and he always bakes it. chicken on the bottom, spices on the top, and in 45 minutes he has a meal. not even the same for me. i like cooked meals with a variety. i'm proud of my cooking skills, and really like to show them off. i rarely cook a meal that i don't share. i can't cook for just one!! impossible for me to do that, so Bubba eats well.
man,.........all this talk has made me hungry. i need to eat something, and then go to the store. i learned a long time ago that i should never go into a grocery store hungry. i buy a lot of pure junk. the problem is not with me buying the junk. the problem is that i will eat it!! the older that i get i'm starting to notice that a candy bar, or a bag of chips no longer constitutes a real meal. oh,......yeah, .......they can be filling, but leaves me feeling less than i should be.
.........much love
