Hey Diddly-Do-Da Papa's Blog!

Here in the early dawnsomeness of Sunday we stand by the kitchen window viewing our springtime backyard...a slight sigh escapes us both and she turns to me and says you should never fertilize the lawn so....it needs mowing now....I think to myself 'it is going to be a cheerful afternoon with sunshine and warmth among the heather wherever Casey is at bat'...
I might go over to the river and try fishing then, or play golf , which I've not done for oh, fifteen years. Of course, there is homework and chapters to study for my Weds. exam in pharmacology....
Man this coffee is really tasty this morning and my shower was soooo warmingly refreshing! Perhaps I will hire a sheep to shear my yard. In which case it may be said to have been shorn, not mown. Tho' mown grass is far more fragrant than shorn and I do like mowning my grasses more than shorning them. I shore am mowning a bunch about shorning this morning and it's shown. P'raps I'll mown some this afternoon when I've read my recent assignment in Fundamentals of airway management. I imagine us standing at our kitchen window doing supper dishes and saying, 'the lawn newly shorn looks pretty good after it's been so nicely mown doesn't it?! And I'll think to myself..'yeah it always does on Sundays early in the morning."
But, one thing is certain...this coffee is really tasty this morning
and another thing...the lawn still isn't mown or shorn this morn. And I do agree, I should not have done such a good job of fertilizing my yard...it now must be mown. moan....sigh

bye bye

I put two pieces of oatnut bread in the toaster oven and soon they were fragrant to tease my sensibilities. I eagerly awaited their demise only to be disconcerted that it was taking so long for my POOH-LIKE tummy to get at them. I had Brummel and Brown yogurt butter spread and orange marmalade to lathe them with. I was planned and ready. My decaf was in hand. All I needed was the toast. I shall forever love my wondrous relationship with toast....won't you?
Tomorrow the Prez is coming to town. The college, at least is abuzz about the whole surly, I mean silly affair. Lots of talk of snipers(security) on the roof anf three choppers and all that. I am going to stay home and miss my simple stretch class and running on the indoor track, and, of course, my AFC microwave popcorn. OOOh the gall of the whole derned ordeal....
The forsythias are almost in full bloom now, daffodils are in full force with the tulips not far behind. The trees are budding and so swelling they can't be too long in the bloom as well. Green and colors are welcome after our record snow year. Yes, we had the record this year at something like 155" or so. We missed a big swatch of it when we were in Haifa with 70 degrees and sunshine( I still am amazed at how fair it was considering the weather we were expecting).
Today I potted some seeds started indoors some ten days ago or so. Zukes, and cukes, and patio tomatoes and a couple of yellow summer squashes. My babies should od well if I can get away from school long enuff to remember them in the window sill hanger.Or is that hangar....oh well.
May you all have really keen evenings, and peachy days tomorrow. Here's to gardening, and here's to the Prez who has been messing with my snackerdooodles. May his team be bohemian, and his time here spendiferous in spite of it.We can only benefit from his visit at the college and the publicity perhaps bring some increase in Mentor's economy and other neat stuff. ciao! y'all!

I saw too many secret service agents today and all week as the Prez is coming to our school for a private party about social security. I guess we must endure...they used to have a microwave in the gym building(AFC) where I made popcorn each day. I am actually known to many students and fellow athletes as "popcorn man". So I'm cheeszed that the Prez is interferring with my snacks. WOW! What gall! I have simple strectch class with Maman MWF at 5 pm. My Friday class is cancelled for the posh event due to my threatening existence while prone on the floor in uncomfortable positions.Gees...plus I always go in two hours early to run my many miles for my aerobic endurance and health. I actually ran a mile and a half today in 8.5 minutes. This is a new milestone for me in recent times. So my Prez is interferring with my health and my snaCKS. wHO'D A THUNK EH? So much for this uneventful week other than my two tests in respiratory pharmaceuticals and pulmonary therapeutics. See you all at the next blog party.

mucho grand'e amor'e,
papa
