will get out for a few hours of garden prep/weeding today, plans at least which haven't happened. :) no rain yesterday evening, forecast is for heavy rains this evening. two cold evenings this week in forecast for low 40sF but not frost warnings so it's ok. warm 82F forecast today and sunshine.

this goes under concerns about growing old and quotes and thoughts... when you start out in life you appreciate simple things because you are a simple thing, as you get older you return to that appreciation one way or another... so, the bell curve always wins. ring it loud, ring it long or...

i'm so glad you could give them a home and i hope they all get along. :)

i had a dream the other morning that i was at some kind of party. i hate parties as much as i hate dreaming about them or even dreaming of going to school in my unders... a part of the dream involved drugs, but they were harmless drugs because they were shaped like legos and were bright blue...

chocolate is tempermental...

planted four small rows of beans yesterday. weather forecast for the next week looks ok so i'm taking a chance. mostly Purple Dove beans with a few of the outcrosses mixed in to provide some variety and chances of new mayhem. :) rained last night and this morning.

i have an extra flat pillow i can use, but it is normal for me to end up with blankets and pillows piled on top of my head and upper body with everything else sticking out - my feet do not want to ever be tucked in - they're my radiators... :)

some friends had a big cat that was very friendly, he loved any kind of attention. if you were laying down he'd come and stand on your chest and look down at you. with how big he was those feet really drilled in when he was standing there. they said he usually weighed between 25-30lbs.
