It's been a while, I know.
It's been a glorious summer--FAR cooler and rainier than any summer in my memory since childhood. A cherry tree is maybe ten feet from my window. I delighted in watching every creature strip the tree of cherries in a couple of weeks--robins, other birds, crows, and one huge fat squirrel shamelessly gorging himself before the cherries were even ripe. The other day a crow dropped a cherry it had in his beak, I think thinking once it was on the ground he could eat it, only he happened to be standing on the roof, so it promptly rolled right off, leaping the gutter, as the crow looked surprised and disappointed.
I sure have been enjoying my BDSM porn--wait, did I say that out loud? I meant "True Blood."
Not a whole lot else going on. We walk to Wal-Mart frequently since I can't drive my car--thank heaven it's there so we can get groceries between times we can borrow Ma and Pa's truck. I know many people might not think frequent trips to Wal-Mart sound fun, and ... well, yeah, Mattie and I keep trying to find better times to go when it's not full of jerks and screaming children, but that's just the way it is with this one. However, we did have a very nice trip there the other night, when everyone was very nice. And it's still an experience. And the walk itself is beautiful. And we found Mattie a hat for $1! And me two sleeveless shirts for $3 each. Nope, nothing to complain about there.
