Old Fools Journal: Must be gettin' on to Spring

Yes, Yes and am I ready. My little camera doesn't do these subjects justice but it's what I have. The bulbs survived the dog pack one more year.
These guys will be leaving soon. I have enjoyed them and hope they remember us and come back next year.
I know I said I wasn't going to do it (plant) this year but I thought I'd pick these few things up just in case I change my mind. 10 tomato plants of different varieties. Two jalapenos to replace the two that froze, a bell pepper and some Rosemarie. $17.50 in American money so far but I'll probably buy some dirt since I have such poor luck with what I have. These will go in pots which I have already but still it's going to be a lot more money. It's cheaper to buy groceries and forget this growing foolishness. It's cheaper still to just eat at the junk food shops off the dollar menu. I think that's what most people here do but I haven't been in a Macdonalds or anywhere of that type in so long I would be uncomfortable. I did go into a Taco Bell last year in the summer and eat a 79 cent bean burrito but that's about it.

Two more days and I will finish the tomatoes I grew in the fall.

So how did my birthday go? It had to be one of the most pleasant birthdays in my life. My princesses called and talked to me. Did you pay attention? They talked to me. That's different from "how you doing/", "happy birthday", "gotta go". I heard from others that truly matter to me through Facebook and email and every message was a grand gift to me. The only thing is that it makes me want to see them all.

I spent a fairly warm day in my shed playing with my tools and making stuff (later post) and I only bled once.

My bride (SWMBO) and I spent the evening in my hovel after "she who not only must be obeyed but is also all knowing" brought me pizza, wine (good stuff) and coconut cake. JOY! It was a most pleasant evening and I stayed up too late, ate too much and drank too much wine which was just the right amount.

So Mom, Thanks.
