Oh, it's on again!

Oh, it's so on!

The annual battle for Lark Circle has begun and the damndelions (yes, damn-delions!) for some inexplicable reason have a large toehold in my lawn.  Honestly, it's the worst I've ever seen it and they just came out of nowhere.  Grass will grow where I don't want it to, but is having a difficult time where it should grow.

My neighbor is building some lovely planter boxes on the side of his house and said something about him being tired of it being an eyesore, and then there's the south side of my joint.  Kinda made me feel terrible so I'm now, out of guilt, heading out to the home depot to get some stuff to correct that eyesore. I have to run to the nursery too.  I'm going to buy a flat of strawberries and the stuff to grow them in and re-establish my strawberry patch once and for all, to include adding its' own sprinkler head smack dab in the middle of it.

I will grow strawberries.  Or at least I will try.

The day started out uneventfully.  Yesterday didn't end that way, but I'll get to that in due time.  I had to retrieve Chevron from the kid.  I'm gonna go broke just trading him cars.  Nobody tried to kill me this time and I didn't even see a car from Oregon today.  I did last night at the shopette on base.  It was a white car this time.

I have a lot of trimming to do.  I fixed my pole pruner so that's good to go.  The chain saw has a fresh blade on it.  The spreader has been cleaned out from its' winter chore of dumping ice melt.  There's a bag of Scott's in the garage and I only have one gusher to fix.

I'm ready to wage war.

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

not that guy today!

As I drove up the circle the other day, I took a good look at my house and I decided I needed to change a few things. For far too long, I've been doing just what I needed to, to get by with keeping the lawn mowed and the garbage picked up, for the most part (except the mess in the back yard), but I saw some things I didn't like. For instance, one of my window screens fell out of the window.  Another was coming out of the frame.  I had a ladder out back I used to pick apricots.  That was in July.  My boat had a flat tire and was kind of starting to be a catch-all for this or that thing. No longer. The ladder is put away for the evening.  Tomorrow I have to get out the 20 footer to fix the other screen.  All of the junk is gone.  ALL of it.  I still have a couple of shelves to clean out and some cupboards to clean out and can do that this weekend.  But the non-working appliances, broken and disgusting furniture, and garbage is removed f...
