Beautiful weather! We enjoyed a hot dog roast, croquet, and visiting over at my brother's this evening. I saw, for the first time in many years, a shooting star. It was quick and over almost before it begun - if I would have blinked, I would have missed it.
Today I ripped out all the garden plants that were struggling along. I gave up - BUT, I'm thinking about planting a fall garden. I've got bean and beet seeds - could it be that I could actually grow something now that the weather has moderated? Hope springs eternal... We're working on putting in two more boxes along the back fence. I really like this "box garden bed" concept. We have to clear out years of honeysuckle vine first, so it'll be awhile.
I'm reading "The Help". I can't put it down! Well I can, but it's difficult. What a great book - I can't wait to see the movie.
After a rousing chorus of the neighbor's three dogs barking for almost an hour today I'm this much closer to checking on getting a privacy fence put up. Yes, they'll still bark at me, but I won't SEE them. I think that'll help. Please, God, make it stop.
Problems at church. Problems at work. Problems with family. Problems all around. What's the old adage - do what you can about the things you CAN control, everything else, let it go. I need to be reminded of that every once in awhile.
I can usually work the sudoku puzzle all the way up to Thursday, most of the time I can get Friday's, and rarely, I can get Saturdays. I usually try to work the Cryptoquip and the Jumble too. Sometimes I wonder if that's the only reason I subscribe to the daily paper. That and the comics. Love Pickles, Zits, Sherman's Lagoon, and Non Sequitur.
Speaking of Non Sequitur, did you know that it's Latin for "it does not follow"? In formal logic, it is an argument which its conclusion does not follow its premises. For example: in advertising - a commercial might state if you do not buy this brand of dog food, you do not love your dog. Wiki goes on to give several other examples of different non sequiturs.
It's late. Time to get to bed, in order to, get up early, in order to, go to work tomorrow, in order to, come home, in order to, go to bed, in order to, get up early, in order to... well, you get my drift. Have a good week.
