Days Go By


My apologies for those who e-mailed me and I have not responded. First off let me start by saying hello to Lynn.
I had worked for 3 weeks straight and not had a full 24 hours off at home and then when I did get a break I pulled a muscle in my back under my ribs while squatting to pee. Embarrassing as it may sound it's true. I rather get my big toe stuck in the bath tub faucet! The thought of sitting, standing, and even yawning at times put me in mucho pain-so I decided to leave the typing for another day.
While I was broke with my back Jim was left to do the weed-eating in the yard. Yeah I know it's October and you are mowing? Yeah it was 93 today-go figure. My advice to newly married:
NEVER EVER let a suburban city apartment dweller loose with a weed eater. Can you say scalp to the roots? Jim is banished forever from this task.
2 days ago Jim said that he would like to go ahead and cement in my small back yard pond. It was something I had always wanted versus the black liner route that I currently have. I have mosquito fish in it as well as the beautifull pink water lilly that I got at Wal-mart last spring. I bought it but was optimistic about it growing. I was wrong. I have had my pond for about 3 years now and cannot wait to get this finished along with my new filter for the waterfall up and running once again.
I will post pictures of the progress.
And as always click on the pictures to enlarge.




And here is a picture of the one that almost got away.



My trusty yard hoe to the belly and a sludge hammer to the head assured me that Sydney and the dogs would not get hurt. I do not know what kind it is but it looked red in the sun. It did however, attack the hoe twice before I got him.
