today was sweet. even this morning at 42 degrees i decided that the growth around the house needed to be cut back. i was bound and determined to break this cabin fever that I've been suffering from here lately.
I've been trimming plants, bushes, and tree's for a long time now. i like the property to look like somebody that lives there that cares. plus it can be pretty good exercise if you make it be. it's better if you have the right equipment, but i didn't have what i really need to do the job quickly with minimal injury's to myself. i wound up trimming with a pair of hand shears that were probably designed to trim rose bushes. they worked, but i needed something with more extended handles, because my hands, are eat up!!
i didn't go at it like i was fighting a fire today, because i wanted to enjoy everything going on around me. the back of the house was in the worst shape. there is a large sago palm back there that had never been cut, as far as i could tell. there was also big vines growing up the back of the house and the chimney. the trees against the house also hand a lot of dead limbs on them. yep,..........that's right,...........i had my work cut out for me today.
i started out early, and before long Bubba had started his own project for the day. it's wasn't long before i went inside, and put on a pair of shorts with a sleeveless t-shirt. it's exactly like the ones that the fellows, and girls might i add wear that are locked up in jail, but are out for the day working with the city. actually, it's one of my favorite shirts, but I'm not exactly sure why other than the fact that i can wear it, and remain a free man. it's a bright florescent orange, and my color of choice has been black most of my life. i guess the reason that they wear them is because it's so easy to spot. koodos to Bubba for buying me that shirt at the flea market when i first got here, and didn't have much to wear!!

during this time that i was out cleaning the yard Itty Kitty went on a great hunting adventure. she always catches these billion gecko lizards that we have an over-abundance of here in Florida. the funny thing is that she always brings them in the house for later. i might near spent as much time throwing these critters out the door, as i did working in the yard!! you know,...........it's really strange,...............because once she brings them inside they don't even make an attempt to escape. they will stay within five feet of where she leaves them. if she doesn't kill them playing with them, they will set right there and die of thirst!!
anyway,.............here is a couple pictures of my great white hunter!!
every morning when i wake up she is sitting there looking at me. she wont wake me up, but as soon as i get up she expects to give, and receive love. i guess in my older years that's not really good for me, because the last thing that i want first thing in the morning in communication with people or an animal. i need time to wake up, and i realize that she has been up for a while, and patiently waited on me to get up, but still my needs must over-ride hers. it ain't like she doesn't get attention from me all the day long.
well,..........i reckon this is enough about this madness for now. i think that i will leave y'all with real folks humor today.
...............much love
Mega moron awards
Tennessee: A man successfully broke into a bank after hours and stole the bank's video camera, while the camera was remotely recording. (That is, the videotape recorder was located elsewhere in the bank, so he didn't get the videotape of himself stealing the camera).
Louisiana: A man walked into a Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer? Fifteen dollars. [If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, was a crime committed?]
Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. Seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on videotape.
New York: As a female shopper exited a convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police had apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes Officer..that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."
Ann Arbor:The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 12:50am, flashed a gun and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.
Kentucky: Two men tried to pull the front off a cash machine by running a chain from the machine to the bumper of their pickup truck. Instead of pulling the front panel off the machine, though, they pulled the bumper off their truck. Scared, they left the scene and drove home. With the chain still attached to the machine. With their bumper still attached to the chain. With their vehicle's license plate still attached to the bumper.
