Amputee life before and after...

~Fun Afternoon~ :-)

Another fun afternoon watching my neighbors and of
course all the critters that visit my yard. I watched
that chippie run his patootie butt off trying to escape
the birds. It was hilarious.. He tried to get into the
garage thru a small hole and got stuck with his butt
out and his poor tail, well I'm surprised he still has
one! :-) He ran back and forth a dozen times trying
to get under the doors :-) Poor thing..
He would run up into the pine trees, go from one to
the other I could see him. But there was NO escaping
the birds. they did NOT give up.. Last I saw chippie
he was trying to make a mad dash from the tree to
across the street, guess he figured he could hide
better over in the twin ladys garden :-)
I don't miss too many things that go on outside. I
saw a truck pull up at the black kitty house, and I
saw the lady come out of the door, go up to the
truck and a lady sitting inside it, that looked a lot
like the lady from inside the house. Well, she then
started to hand the lady bags of stuff, about 4 or
5 of the white plastic grocery bags. THEN I saw
her hand over a HUGE stack of CORN on the cob!
I KNEW then what was in the other bags.. ALL
FRESH VEGGIES :-) They put everything along
side the driveway, I saw the lady's hug and wave
to each other, and the truck was gone.. NICE
DELIVERY, I say :-)
A while later I saw the granddaughter and I guess
was a 'gentleman caller', get 2 chairs, put them
across from each other and they proceeded to clean
the corn . It was beautiful corn. Looked yummy.
Was nice to see those kids spending a Sunday after
noon doing something nice and good. I listen to
the radio all day and see the news sometimes, not
often, its too depressing, but all the garbage I
hear with the meth and drinking kids killing kids,
or even worse their parents.. So sad and so very
depressing. When I see these neighborhood kids
doing nice, clean, safe things, like shucking corn
or playing baseball.. it gives me a little hope for
the future for them...
Steve and Lisa are having a yard sale today! I
saw a tripod for a camera out there! I sent Penny
to go out and look to see what they have. A lot of
antiques. I was going to pay them for it, but Steve
gave it to me :-) Wasn't that nice? I'm already
planning to hook it up to my camera.. :-) He told
me again how busy this place is gonna be this
week, but not to worry the cops are around a lot
and NO one is allowed to park on anyones lawn.
He said there will be fireworks again but THIS
time shot off from right here at the high school
and not the elementary like on the 4th. So.. I may
be able to get some good photos.. You KNOW I'm
gonna try! :-) Penny has restocked my battery supply
so I AM prepared ! :-) Its gonna be so tempting to
take photos of all their customers :-)
Do you see my honeysuckle? Its blooming AGAIN!
I am just gonna havta look up and read about it. How
to care for it etc. Since Penny cleaned out all that
weedy viney stuff its doing a lot better. Even the
sunflowers are doing quite well. You can see at one
time someone has put rocks around the edge at
the bottom of the honeysuckle. We, ok PENNY,
might paint those rocks.. Shes offered to clear off
that cement out there, but that is NOT in her job
description :-) But I DO appreciate her offering to
do it. But she has enough to do already.. :-)
My next thing to do is to eat some lunch, what I
don't know.. I was hungry for a pot of beans, so I
put some on to cook while Penny was at the store.
Just some small navy beans with onions and I had
some ring bologna that really seasons beans quite
well.. So later today they will be ready I have them
on high. I will see what Chris brings for lunch and
if its good it will tide me over till then...
Great photo of Hummy...
SO... you KNOW what that means.. Time for this
GORGEOUS WEEBLE to post this and sign off for
today.. Hope you liked my "neighborhood report" ...
I shall return !! :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and thanks!
Always, Lois ****
