Catching up…

9/18/09

I didn’t know that cannas made these weird pod-like things on their flowers.  Apparently they do.  Since then, I’ve dug up all the bulbs for wintering in the basement.

My little brother plays baseball.  He’s also one of the team grunts, and is expected to do all the hard labor, such as dragging the field. 

9/20/09

My little sister and I were waiting for my little brother (who happens to be bigger than both of us), and we were taking turns shuffling these playing cards.  We both thought it would be cool to take a picture mid-shuffle.  It totally is.

It rained really hard.  The rain started coming in through the roof at work in the first exam room.  Right in front of where the pet’s owners sit to talk to the doctor.  What is funny about that is that he talked to them as if there wasn’t water dripping from the ceiling.  He totally pretended that it didn’t even exist.  All the while the owners were uncomfortable because the water was almost dripping on them.

I finally got the parts to start my indoor plant growing station in my basement dungeon.

9/23/09

Two pictures for this day.  The first is of the big head kitty sitting on the tack room ceiling at the ranch.  He always climbs up there, and to get down he actually uses a ladder.  I kid you not.  I’ll try to take a picture of that next.  The second is of the big lake.  It was so still that day I almost got a perfect reflection in the water.  The picture really doesn’t do it justice.

My plant growing station is halfway complete.  Mr. Violet is the only plant up there right now, but soon there will be two others.  Maybe three.  Freckles was investigating. 

9/25/09

I caught JoJo (My old grumpy dalmation) playing with Scruffy.  She usually pretends to hate him.  Now I know it’s just a show. 

9/26/09

I went to the dirt track races.  Srsly.  It was loud, cold, and almost fun.  Only almost because it was both loud and cold.

9/27/09

I decided that I needed to add a second light to the growing station.  I didn’t think I was getting all the colors of light Mr. Violet needed to thrive.  He’s doing really well now.

9/28/09

This is part of a new project of mine.  I’m sure you recognize the setting.  It’s where I sometimes eat lunch.  I thought it would be fun to take a picture every time I eat there to see how it changes over time. 

9/30/09

There is a bullfrog that lives in the goldfish pond.  He’s down there by the pump. 

10/1/09

I made myself a fake tattoo and painted it on my arm.  It fooled many, many people, including the middle-aged, twice-my-age biker dude who hit on me.

10/2/09

I ate lunch here today.

10/3/09

When left to my own devices, dinner often looks like breakfast.  Especially when there is scrapple in the refrigerator.  I love scrapple.

10/4/09

I found a skull collar for Trooper.  Now he matches my shoes. 

10/05/09

I got Mr. Violet down for watering and fertilization today.  He looks great.  Basement living is good for him, I guess.  Hopefully, he’ll start blooming soon.  It’s been almost a year since he’s flowered. 

That concludes the major catching up session.  Please forgive me.  I will try to do better in the future.  Taking the pictures is easy.  It’s the blogging them that is tedious work.
