i watered my front plants………thats a start to todays work, is it not? :) got the impatiens, and then the ferns……..the ferns are in not-goof-for-ferns drippy hangers, so they are not holding as much water as they should…….but they drip onto the begonias below….the twice-as-much stuffed begonias…..could have just done 4 to a planter, but, i didnt really have places to put them………so i guess whey shall stay scrunched like this, this year……..:) i finally hear cicadas al over the place here. :) didnt hear them last month. not sure if they are friend or foe on all the trees and vegetation, but they do just really remind me of my life and youth………the sound of summer i say!! :) or maybe i just live in a bad place on the earth and never knew it………we all, most of us here, are here for jobs on a military base--army, NASA and some others. they chose this area bc it was hidden i hear……..not bc the soil was fertile? or the land beautiful?? though there is beauty here………..i guess sometimes my mind wonders if there is a better place to live? for i have never, ever moved…..in my life--pd……not even for college or school………:( my sib moved to 3 other places than here, at least. and has now been back. have loved having them back, but wondered where they would have really lived and thrived the best? i wonder where my best place could be?? i feel i live just on top of a red-clayed field……..and Ive learned to call it home, bc i knew not where else to go in this life………:( right now, though….if i had my car and some gas, id drive on over that peach/fruit stand on why 36 and give it a look around…:) but maybe that should wait a week or 2 bc we have 2 sets of produce here in the fridge at the current moment……:) dusting has never been my favorite chore, so i just now refuse to do it much. i do it occasionally. and moreso i just wipe my hand over a piece and swoop it to the floor….:) trying to do a better cleaning today……but i think id rather clean toilets than dust! always have…:) rather do the dishes too, even just in the sink!! and w/o gloves……never understood those long rubber gloves for dishes. just seems something else to get all bacteria-ed up! :) lol! :) some small red birds are scraping around in the neighbors gutters, at least one? the other lovebird/friend may have already gotten away??? i hope that bird can get out!!!!! :( did i ever share about the time we had a plague of tree frogs here at this house? the first year or so we were here? 1-2-3 yr. and i think it happened 2 but maybe only one good time…….weve had large mosquitos here, and large grasshoppers, and the cicadas, and drought………these are the things i jokingly say i wonder if i missed the promised land and ended up in egypt?? i just imagine the promised land being so much more full of peace and beauty than what weve had here……..BUT if we had better skills and teaching and learning in life, this might actually could be the promised land………a land flowing with milk and honey…….:) i think the bird got out……..:) hes still scraping around though……:) anyways……..the tree frogs were so cute, but they were sticking to every available piece of glass we had out back!!! it was kinda freaky!!! :) but i guess i just got used to them!? i mean, what else could i do?? and what can i do about the coyotes that howl at the base of the field in the arsenal woods??? is there really a promised land out there, or am i just stuck here in government land egypt??? my BIL was from WA. i think it would be nice t live up there or in Oregon. :) florida and TN are my other choices. would never want to live in NY city……:( and i really dont see myself as a midwest girl. i could live in all parts of CA i think? the terrain and climate is very different all throughout Ive heard. and i hear AZ is nice and very diversified……..:) but AL is probably where i will stay……..…:( its all i know, and i really do not even know much of it at all really. i just know birmingham really, and a bit about where my parents grew up and the coast. Ive only been to montgomery once. and i do not even know much about mobile……….:) i want to see the sand again i think? Ive been scared to travel this past decade. just too many life changes rocked my world. the sand is always pretty, and the beach and water, but many other factors change--cars need to run--you have to have money for travel……bodies hurt more sometimes?? you have to have a job, to have money, to be able to pay to vacation…….most things are not free……unless you know people…….:) but think i might be able to handle going again. and stay longer this time? i was very stressed last time we went in october. my stomach was sick……..along with my ear problem year or 2 before, i should have gone to dr. for my stomach issues…he could have done something……but it seems i was in a non-dr.going phase……..i think Ive broken out of that. i may even let them take my blood and test for things……..:) who knows? i just would like to drive to the coast again i think? pick up some shells. buy some pretty hanging shells, not made in the us unfortunately--phillipines…….:( just walk around, and eat good seafood, etc……..play in the ocean…….regret how i gave my good luggage away yet one more time…….Big Sigh……..:( i had given up hope………..:( so, we must start again……..im just so very amazed right now at all the beautiful trees blooming!!! :) crepe myrtles mostly i guess??? but i see colors in other trees all around and it is all so very pretty………:) we really need some more trees in this yard!!!!! This Fall is going to be the magical yard transformation time……..:) i mean it this year---really!!! :) i just need to get this inside house cleaning finished and caught up in the next 2 months, so then when it cools down some in the fall, we can start putting in some very pretty trees and more flowers…………i want them to MULTIPLY…………and not DIE……..:) i want to have some life around here, and in my own life!! i want pecan trees!!!!! so we can have free nuts!!!!! :) and then all the leaves create mulch you need in your gardens………….:) beauty, beauty-----i need great beauty………:(……….:)
