That was the one you ran away from, right? I remember that story. It was quite interesting.
Every time I mention you to my siblings who were at Entmoot, they say "She's the one who tried to escape from the crazy school place where they were making them pick blueberries, right?"
Yup. I'd forgotten that we discussed it at Entmoot. :-)
I only ran away for a minute though, since my sister was caught and I couldn't leave her behind.
You're nicer than I am. I would have left my sisters and gotten the heck out of there.
~sigh~
Entmoot. I left too soon...
LOL!
Blueberries, blackberries, green beans....
The place is still open, believe it or not. But it's an all boys' school now. And the former pastor's son runs it now.
Naaaw. You would have turned back too. Just wasn't the kind of place where you'd leave anyone you loved behind.
Yes, you did!
Yes. Yes, you did. And you missed both moots since... ShootMoot was excellent. So just try not to miss future moots, wedding or otherwise. Your HH membership card is up for renewal and you need that stamp ;-p
I thought I wasn't invited to the wedding? ;-)
Back. Got a gas can. Now I'm wondering how I fill the darn thing without getting 'sploded, and how to fill the mower, ditto.
Gotta take about a second to fill a can...I'm afraid I'll spill gas everywhere.
And speaking of fires and all that...I'm really thinking of running out for a cheap little hibachi. I betcha I could get something that small going OK, and then I could save up for a real series grill, albeit a small one.
Oh, like not being invited would stop you.
Rose: thanks for the heads up. We checked our local weather site and it says "flooding conditions" however the wind has picked up. About par for the course, I'd say.
It does appear that 2J could be in for some weather.
The birds seem to be enjoying the water....
Well...I bought gas and filled the mower all by myself. Ain't ya proud of me? ;-) Of course, I spilled a TON trying to get the spout to work, but I guess now I know.
And the lawn is done, or most of it. I'm sure I missed places, and also there are some spots I'll have to get with a weedwhacker. The lawnmower started making a horrible knocking sound, but it was still working, so I ignored it. Women drivers...
And now I smell like sweat and gasoline and grass and dog poop (the last being just on my shoes, fortunately). Ah...the sweet smell of spring...
May day, May day, Will Robinson!!
I've got birds playing in the sprinkler - set it up over a spot where the grass just isn't growing as it should be. I also put down more seed...hoping they aren't partly there stealing it.
Well, there's that.
Well, I'm sure my parents had that thought once or twice while I was growing up...
It could be that the ground is just not warm enough yet for the seed to sprout.
The birdz were splashing around in the puddles I've got standing in theyard.
