Monday Monday

The thunder is rolling in the distance.

I apologize.

For the non-lala land followers this obsession with

my weather must be boring you to tears.

But my surroundings exert great influence on my

attitude and enjoyment of life.

SO, c'mon thunder! Roll away over here right atop my house.

I just brewed my smooth and mellow blend from Trader Joes,

have plenty of peppermint mocha creamer,

have my page marked in my latest mystery,

still in my jammies (at NOON!),

waiting on the porch with the tin roof...

and the thunder rolled.....

for about two minutes... ARGH!

Bores

Not the whining kind, or the snobs..but real bores.

Munching away inside my enormous, provide me shade

all summer, pink silk tree.

I was going to show you a pic of a bore but thought you would prefer this

Anyway, stopped by the nursery yesterday to

get tree medicine, I suppose I should call it, and the guy

scared me half to death. Said "I had probably had them for years,

probably infected your entire yard, could lose all your shrubs and trees."

Then recommended a couple bottles of stuff to the tune

of $36.00 and told me "that would fix me right up."

Just what I need; a Jekyll and Hyde nursery guy.

(Carole and George I need you.)

These things tend to weigh heavily on my mind... when someone

tells me a tree I've lovingly tended for 17 years may just

up and die, and by the way when it does come

crashing over in a storm take out the better portion

of my living room and bedroom ceilings, I tend to obsess.

While I am obsessing I must also confess to an

unnatural attraction to word verification "words?"

Anyone else notice that they seem to be real words

in disguise and if you stare at them long enough you will decipher

the true meaning? No? just me?

C'mon!
