Old Fools Journal: Pickin' Weeds

Yes I go out in public in these

Finally today it is warm enough to be naked indoors. I do not find anything likable about sitting in front of the heater bundled up in winter. I read that some think that it is romantic but not me. I want light and warmth. Yesterday was the first day of warmth in my hovel but today was the first day I could get out of bed and not have to get dressed while still sitting on the bed. How nice.

Friday was a sunny day but cool for my taste but I had to go out. Out of wine you know. I went to the thrift store while out and picked up a few items including a genuine leather jacket in new condition for 5 bucks. It's a small bikers jacket and fits She Who Must Be Obeyed perfectly. I didn't know bikers came in small. SWMBO looks great in it. Lots of long fringe. She says she needs a Hog now and I reminded her that she already has a pig. ME.Other items include some raw material to make things such as brass stuff, some sewing stuff and 50 yards of 4strand candle wick. I already have 5 pounds of paraffin. There is over 2 pounds of brass here for $1.50. I don't know what I'll make but I'll think of something. Maybe a ray gun.
Anything to keep from doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

SWMBO and I went out to picks weeds to eat yesterday. Yum yum best mustard greens I've ever had. This a in dirt that has been dumped along side of the road. I don't know if it is to build a levee between the road and the swamp of if it is just to get rid of the dirt. It's not from one of the many canals that are being cleaned because it's not muck. It appears to be from a field of Mustard. Sweet peppery mustard. Weeds is good. I really hope it goes to seed and reseeds this area. It's likely that even if it does the parish(county) will plow it under or hit it with weed killer. That's what they do.

Here she is all hundred pounds of her going in for the kill.
