Old Fools Journal: Random Stuff

One of the nice things about getting older is that senior memory lapse's let you discover the same thing over and over again. I was remarking to my bride today that I had never seen cilantro bloom before and how much I liked the tiny white flowers. She reminded me that only last year she had shown me her cilantro blooms. So I got to discover the pretty little flowers twice. At least I grew these so that part is new.

I found this do it yourself raised bed kit while shopping along side the road the other day (some would call it trash picking).

It looked like a raised bed kit to me.

More weeds growing in my back yard. This one is confused and does not know what color it wants to be.



Dark, dreary and not a breath of wind just before the 20 hours of rain that ended about an hour ago. I don't believe I will have to water today.

I'm on Facebook now. I have resisted but since my most senior princess did it I decided I could. I tried myspace but shut it down when I started getting hundreds of offers to "be my friend" from internet hookers and life insurance salesmen. I never quite got the hang of it. I hope Facebook turns out a little different. If anyone is interested my contact info is in the sidebar.

I gave myself a $100.00 Kodak digital camera just before my birthday in March. I'm happy to say that it is working out well. It does a better job of taking pictures than I do.

Well, just let the camera keep doing its thing. The pictures are great! I thought of you this weekend when I saw Louisiana engulfed in red and yellow on the Weather Channel. Glad to hear you didn't have to get out the boat.

You had me in stitches over your raised-bed kit.
Myspace is a bit of a worry, there seems to be less 'friends' requests on Facebook. Weird how people fish for 'friends'. I just don't get it.

Thanks Don. I have been enjoying you stuff for some time no and plan to continue.
The friends I have on Facebook are mostly related by blood, marriage or injection.

I need a raised flower bed! I wish I had the gift of seeing the potential in things like you do.
