I Don't Recall Breaking Two Mirrors

Mood: happy

I was walking around my yard this afternoon,feeling rather dejected. For no matter how old we get having our father mad at us can still stir feelings of dispair. Honestly, I wonder at times, what I have to do to get over the feeling that I am not a child and I don't have to feel as if I am being judged for making sensible decisions. You see I had been discussing with him that I was researching the ins and outs of selling a house and what it involved and he had to tell me all about the reality of it from his standpoint. That would be like asking Archie Bunker his opinion. And he concluded the discussion by saying he would probably be dead by then anyway. Oh happy day, another beautiful sunny day destroyed by pouring acid on my open wounds. So, anyway, I took my dogs outside so I could pick up crap (fun, fun) and what do I see out of the corner of my eye.... a fat-bug-like thing darting around among the old-fashioned orange tiger lilies. I had to take a closer look, because even a new bug is worth a peek but I was overjoyed...it was a hummingbird!! I had never seen a hummingbird here in my entire life. I had only seen one once in California at my brother's house but never here. Of course it disapeared as quickly as it arrived but that was all it took. I know...I'm such a sap....I don't care. It's so cool. Now I'm glad I'm happy again. Thank you hummingbird.

Thanks for looking out for me everyone. Hi Jackie. I'm glad I know you by name now. I've been stuck using an iMac computer instead of my own Pc for quite some time now and the screen shot here is very different. This is the first time I've even been able to see the side bar where I am able to record an entry. Anyways, my dog Jing is doing well minus his cancerous toe. His leg looks like a dachsunds, all shaved smooth but he is back to his old self, only slightly demented. Last night he was standing near the bushes lost in thought and I practically had to drag him inside because he was lost to the world. Don't know what was going on but doggy Alzheimer's can just go away and stay away. Dealt enough with that with my mother. At least now the fireworks exploding around here don't seem to bother him anymore. Now my Eskimo is the one running to me, scared to death. Poor fellows. How's everybody's garden's doing....those that partake of flowery follies? I am in heaven, my garden is more than I could ask for, just wonderful. My tomatoes are still stunted but who cares. The ones my neighbor gave me are huge and producing well. With the heat we had they shot up tremendously. My cukes are fabulous, as are the green beans. I have squash everywhere, nothing producing yet but I'm patient. I've had to do some carpentry work too. Started out scraping paint on my front porch with my father but the 'king box' at the foot of the front stairs was too rotted to be saved. So I tallked my Dad into letting me rebuild it. He used to do all of the carpentry and I said we could still do it. I ended up doing most of the work because his knees are shot but I love to do it. Now there's all that painting to do. Seems like it's time for a painting party!!!! Too bad he doesn't go for those things. Oh well, painting is another of those therapuetic jobs I enjoy. So, hope all have a safe 4th.
