I’m feeling kind of grumpy this morning. Don’t even feel like posting. Slept ok, feel ok, little sore throat…Cat stole my chair. Dogs are good, everything is good. No reason for being cranky.
Wha wah crybaby.
i don’t know, I’m just going to work, follow the routine. Have a good day.
7-11-22.
It was a good weekend. Got some yardwork done, went to the beach, did some diving, had some fun times with the dogs.
Above are some pictures from yesterdays dive.
im off to work, not much else going on. No news is good news! Have a great week!
I finally picked the two peppers that were on my bush. The plant seemed to be waiting before producing more. I cut one up and put half on today’s lunch wrap, and ate the other half, man o man, it was good. Just a plain bell pepper never tasted so good. I’m looking forward to lots more. I planted more a couple days ago.
Happy Friday!
I didn’t get put on a jury yesterday and don’t have to report back until near the end of the month. I feel relieved and lucky.
Today is dentist. I’m getting ready for another implant. And regular maintenance. Not looking forward to the expense…
Im ready for the weekend.
today is my first day of jury duty. It goes on until October 2nd. That is a ridiculously long time. I am really not looking forward to it. On the bright side, it can’t possibly be as bad as I expect.
Above is a screenshot from an internet search Dondice Occidentalis.
Below is a picture I took yesterday of a Dondice Occidentalis.
The picture above is quite good, I think, except for the excellent camouflage.
It was a good long weekend. I got a lot (half) of the items on my list done, planted seeds, replanted an ailing lemon tree, which was like an exploratory surgery that didn’t find anything wrong.
Today is back to work, tomorrow jury duty starts.
have a good week!
There was a whole slew of giant caterpillars eating one of my trees. Here’s a short video. The big ones were 7 or 8 inches long. Most were big.
I sprayed them yesterday. I may have to spray again in a few weeks but I think not. I did not enjoy killing sushi pretty things but the tree’s life has value too.
Happy Friday! Happy Constitution Day weekend! Coincidentally this year, American 4th of July falls on the same day. Monday is a holiday here and in the USA.
Also this weekend is Cayman Carnival! That’s gonna be fun!
Have a great weekend!
The other weekend, like a freak, I was out standing in this tree I’m trying to heal. (The Otaheite Apple Tree, you’ve heard me talk about it). I’m standing in the tree, talking to it and looking for new growth like I do almost every day. My neighbor and his wife were outside too, although we couldn’t actually see each other.
All of a sudden I heard my wife’s voice call “Babe”. I stepped out of the tree. I looked around. That was my name. I heard it, where did my name come from? I remember every detail, the quality of the light, the texture of the side of the house, the too long grass and the weeds. I want to find my wife who called my name. I was walking, looking.
It must’ve taken me a full 60 seconds to figure out what was going on. In those 60 seconds I was either not human at all or fully human for he first time ever. There were no thinking words in my brain, no tangible thought. Time stopped. My name, I heard my name. I was on my way to provide anything the sayer of my name wanted.
After that long minute, it all started coming back to me. Wife’s long gone. Divorce final. It wasn’t my wife. It was the neighbors wife. Even when my wife was still here, my neighbors wife calling Babe sounded the same as my wife.
It wasn’t for me.
But the fact is, I heard my name. I heard my name for the first time in over a year. My name is Babe, and I miss hearing my name. I miss it real bad.
Happy Hump Day! Yesterday afternoon I planted most of the seeds I bought and I’m on my way to vegetable-kingdom. I need to buy more seeds already.
Tonight is the second class of the meditation workshop. I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been practicing every day as per directions. There’s a place I call “There” that’s a really nice place to be. I can get there most times but not always. It’s important to dedicate the time allotted for meditation. I tried to squeeze in 8 minutes when I had to be somewhere and had laundry going and it didn’t work too well.
I have been trying meditation as ever since I quit drinking, even before that, I was introduced but it was nothing like this.
Anyway, I’m just rambling. Have a good day!
Yesterday i made some real progress in the gardening. I got the dirt, a dozen bags, and I found a store that sells more seeds. I put he dirt in the newly refurbished / lidded planters, and am ready to plant. There’s two more planters in the backyard too.
Wonder where I can get some cow seeds? I’d love it if I could grow some hamburgers!
So this afternoon, seeds go in the dirt!
Have a great day!
