yesterday afternoon kevin left for the sandy ford shooting place in streator, illinois.\u00a0 this morning when i got up, i wondered why winnie hadn’t been batting at my head, insistent on getting some breakfast.<\/p>\n
i walked into the kitchen and he was frantically beating at the screened porch door – i’d locked him out there last night.\u00a0 he was very, very upset.\u00a0 also COMPLETELY STARVING.<\/p>\n
yesterday i worked on a new gardening project – i bought 130 border bricks and 21 bags of mulch (i think i bought too much mulch) and i made the start of a nice little new garden down by the water.\u00a0 i had planted lilies there last year and every one but one has been eaten by the damn deer.\u00a0 that last flower, though, is going to be sensational!<\/p>\n
kevin drove our big riding mower down to the lake, the little cart in back filled with the bricks.\u00a0 yesterday i tried to drive it back to the garage but it wouldn’t start.\u00a0 i called kevin to ask him what to do, but he didn’t call me til it was dark and there was no way i was going to try to figure out how to connect the power things in the dark.<\/p>\n
i told jim about it after i was creeping around in the dark securing a tarp over the top of it.\u00a0 he said it’d be fine til morning, and he’d help me attach the battery.<\/p>\n
when i got up this morning he’d already connected it.\u00a0 i walked down and we both saw that a BEAVER ATE THE WILLOW TREE.\u00a0 it was a lovely little willow, and it’s grown so much since jim planted it.\u00a0 and now it’s gone…jim was excited, though, that there is a live beaver somewhere around here, because he says they’re getting kind of extinct.<\/p>\n
now i’m worried about the peach trees down by the water – they’re filled with more peaches than i’ve ever seen.\u00a0 they’re not very big, and look perfect beaver-size.<\/p>\n
i need to accomplish 100 million things this morning, but it’s already 9:02 and i’m having bonding time with Les Paul.<\/p>\n
ok then, happy saturday,<\/p>\n
