How many beverages will the glove box hold?

BTW, it’s been raining all morning. First I had 5 deer cavorting in the rain in the backyard. Then rabbits were romping. Now, the rain has stopped, and my backyard is full of wild turkeys. The dog used to keep all these critters well away from the house. No more.

It’s so cold that even my barn swallows have abandoned this place. My daughter in VA is mad at me because she posted a picture of a beautiful bouquet of peonies on Facebook that she’d cut from her own garden. I commented that I found the peonies (and the fact that she had them) “disgusting”. She did not take kindly to that remark, but she doesn’t know how depressing this wet and cold spring has been.

It looks like this will be another lost year for the gardens because of the weather and my surgery.

Asplundh (the firm that clears power lines for the electric company around here) came down my driveway and removed 50 years of brush along the old stone wall while I was in the hospital. They left without completing the job and left a real mess. They say they’ll be back, but when? And what will they actually do? It looks like I’ll have to hire a landscape contractor to clean up this mess before it all grows back. Their efforts have already added between 6 and 20 feet of land to my yard. All of it needs professional attention before I can maintain it.

But my daughter in VA has peonies to pick. Bah, humbug!

You may have asked for the one data point not on the spec sheet.

I saw a box turtle, duck, and heron at the park this morning. If I was earlier, I would have seen the deer. It’s fawning time here.

How very sad that you are so miserable that you would call your own daughter’s flowers, which she must have been proud of, disgusting. Perhaps your doctor needs to be aware that you are feeling this way so he/ she can address it
