SOAKING UP THE HEAT......08/06/15

--My wife thinks I'm a tad Goofy when I sit outside in the heat when I could be sitting inside in a/c cooled house.
--Of course there's a reason I prefer to sit outside. the dang fool house is to dang cold. Five minutes after the dang fool a/c starts I’m looking for my long johns.
--So I sit outside and try to soak up as much of this heat as I can . Because when winter sets in it'll be back to wearing long John's and trying to stay warm. And course start counting the days till spring….

JUST FOR SAKE OF....05/03/15

--I’ve always had a problem with doing things just because everyone else does. Don't ask me why but I’ve always stuck to the left of norm. My wife say's it's my abnormalness.
--I guess it's just a curse of being thick headed.
--As I get older I’ve had a few enlightenment's, over the years. Raising children and living with a house full of constantly changing pets with do that to you I guess.
--But through it all I’ve pretty much maintained my left ward slant….

HE'S BACK....05/08/15

--My wife claims I’m an old fool who loves routine. Which of course is true but I try real hard not to admit it. Even though we both know I’m lying.
--Drinking coffee on the porch watching the sun come up has become a part of my morning routine. Along with checking my blue berries, after the sun comes up. Not before dawn because there’s to many dang crater’s in the yard thanks to our gopher dog. A lesson I had to learn the hard way when I went stumbling through the yard one morning.
--It was on one of my morning walks that I had the misfortune of hearing that dang fool crow crowing from the tree next to my blue berries. If that wasn't bad enough he flew down and buzzed me a few times before flying back up to the dang tree. Talk about a stick in the eye.
--Now don't get me wrong I like just about any thing. And will give just about anything a chance. But a blue berry eating dang fool crow that’s pushing things. Of course my wife thinks I’m being a tad over dramatic. But I’m sure she'll come around when I finish cutting down his dang fool tree....

EDGE OF THE ROAD....08/21/16

--Normally when it comes to the edge of the road I try to look away. It saddens me to no end to see all the critters scattered about, because people are in such a dang fool hurry and can't figure out how to slow down . And give the little darlings a chance.
--This morning when I went down to the end of the driveway to move the garbage containers. I happened to notice a big old groundhog peaking at me on the other side of the road.
--I didn't think much of it until I noticed the big old fellow dart across the road. he stopped short just before our front yard and then ran down along the edge of the road.
--I don't know why the little fellow stopped and ran down the road. But I do know it was funny to watch . It kind was kind of nice to see the old fellow make it instead of being splattered all over the dang fool place.....

STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH BUG-A-BOO’S….03/04/15

--Down to the wire once again.
--The big day is almost here.
--A little apprehension is perfectly normal. But this is out right turmoil.
--Letting all of this get out of control, will do no good you know.
--You know you can do it, you’ve proven it before.
--So stop playing games, and close the dang door.
-- Control the bug-a-boo’s or they’ll control you….

BUNNY HOPPING CATS….05/06/15

--You know your grass is too tall when the cats who hang around your house are hopping around like a bunch of bunny rabbits. At least that’s the way my wife put it to me.
--Of course I tried to tell her it was the cat food from the always sells for less store but she wasn’t buying it.
--So along with all the other whack a doodle in and out’s of life in the country. It look’s like mowing the dang fool crater infested yard has been moved up a notch on the things to do list.
--Now if I could find the dang fool thing’s to do list I might know what to expect next….

ENJOYING A SUNNY DAY....07/10/15

--Apparently being cooped up in the house for the past couple of days while it rained had gotten to waffles and Jerry lee. Because when they went out they forgot the bark and let us know they were ready to come back in.
--Instead they spent most of the day enjoying the sun and fresh air. Waffles played keep away with little Taz , and Jerry lee spent most of the day rolling around in the tall grass howling like a nut.
--I guess even dog's enjoy some sunshine once in awhile....

LITTLE BUD'S AND BEE'S.....09/19/16

--Watching a bunch a bee's hover over a bunch of little bud's, is strange. Because the fool bee's go whack a doodle crazy over the little bud's every time they pop out.
--The cats have even taken up watching the bee's with me, probably because their a little bored. Buddy found out the hard way to leave the whack a doodles alone. He swatted one who gave him what for, so now he gives them a wide berth.
--Waffles doesn't give much thought to the bee's, he pretty much leaves them alone. I guess for a dimblub, he has some sense after all.
--Of course if the weather wasn't so wacky there probably would be more things to do besides watching bee's....

Cool Breezes and Falling Blossom's.......05/03/18

--Drinking Green Tea sitting on the porch is kind of nice, now that the weather has kind of mellowed out.

--Of course the cats who hang around are a little peeved because they don't seem to like sharing the tiny picnic table to much.

--Waffles even seems to like being outside after the dang fool up and down winter we had.

--The only down side is those dang fool cool breezes that seem to come out of nowhere and toss the Blossom's from all the trees all over the porch. But I guess that's why they make covers for cups.......

Here We Go Again......01/24/18

--I really don't mind the up and down temps, sure it takes me through a full spectrum of discomforts before it finally settles it's dang fool self down down, but I'll have to be the first to admit it do keep life interesting.

--Normally all the dang fool shenanigans would drive me up the wall. But it seems over the years I've gotten a tad better at the constant upheaval. Or I'm just getting to dang old to raise a good head of steam about the whole mess.

--I'll have to admit there are days when I'm just not to sure.

--I will say as I get older I find myself having a lot more auto pilot days. But even that can be a pain in the neck from time to time it seems.

--It seems that the only way to stay ahead of the doldrums, is to keep the old eye's on the prize and don't get to distracted by all of Mother nature's shenanigans.......

WAFFLES and the Tractor Store Vet.....11/02/17

--Every few years it's come time to get Old WAFFLES his shots. A thing he really doesn't enjoy, but then again neither to we. He really is a unfriendly little whack a doodle.

--This year rather than go back to the vet we had been going to we went to the place where we buy the pet food. They have a deal where they have a vet come in on Saturdays for shots and things.

--Other than having to carry waffles while trying to walk with a cane it wasn't to bad.

--Of course when my wife showed up pushing a shopping cart little snarling unfriendly waffles turned into a lovable little whack a doodle .

-I suppose it could have been worse and the little fool was so proud ridding in my wife's shopping cart....

At A Certain Age.......06/02/18

--I've never had much patience with Doctors, it always seems like it's a case of hurry up and wait.

--And then when they finally show up the seem to have a list they are working down and don't really hear much about the dang fool reason you happen to stop by.

--I suppose it's not really their fault, I image those dang fool list can become quite tiring after awhile.

--And if I'd known there was so much involved with reaching a certain I sure as Sam Hill wouldn't of been in such a hurry to reach old age......

THE LITTLE TRIP THAT WASN'T.....09/25/17

--Funny thing about life, usually when you least expect it, it'll pull the rug out from under you and force you to rethink a few thing's.

--Not a bad thing really I guess, it can keep you from hitting those big rocks in the old road that seem to come all to often as we get older.

The Beautiful Day .......05/30/18

--Oh it was a tad humid when Waffles and I went out for our morning walk. But for some reason we didn't seem to mind. It was just that kind of day.

--The cats who hang around the house were up and about waiting for food and a quick pet. And the air was filled with the humid smells of summer.

--It was a Beautiful Day, and I had a feeling it was only going to get better.......

What our doing?.....10/3017

--Usually it's that moment seconds before your ready to drop of to sleep that a dang fool cat will jump up on the bed to see what your doing.

--Now normally it wouldn't be a problem but when your seconds from falling asleep it can be a real pain in the neck.

--But to be fair dealing with a cat is a lot easier than a dang fool mouse, so like somethings in life you deal with those pesky little annoyances. And take comfort in the fact your not chasing a dang fool mouse who decided to make a late night visit......

Waffles and the sun shiny day .......05/13/18

--When it comes to being outside Waffles likes to do his business and come right back in.

--Now usually that would be ok, but the little fool has habit of getting lazy and just going to the edge of the porch to do his business. Which probably wouldn't be so bad but it gets a tad messy after awhile.

--As a sort of compromise I hook the little fool on his run and he freaks out and let's me know when he's ready to come back in. Which is before I get back to the house most of the time.

--It's not the greatest arrangement but it works. I guess that's all that counts......
