Just a catch up Saturday

Just a catch up Saturday

Saturday, April 03, 2004

Nothing much happening since last update. Other than my freaking back went "out" a couple of weeks ago. Talk about pain and drugs! I sat in a foggy stupor for about a week in a chair courtesy of the pharmaceutical labs. The usual Matthew, but only slightly medicated. Probably a good thing when you are in pain.

Marsha Lee has been cooking a good bit lately. The nice homey meals that make you want to take a carb-nap after eating. Very nice if I say so.

Nice and sunny today, a break in the weather. So my chore this Saturday will be to help put down good ol' Scott's Weed and Feed. I hate feeding the lawn cause then it grows more than I would care for. Nothing like having to mow that dreaded green hair of the ground once or twice EVERY week in the spring. All in all spring is a joy to my long snow-blinded eyes. Damn gray days and white ground. As pretty for the passing of a few days or a month, then just depression if you are not a winter personality. Bravo for the thaw. Bravo for the sights of all that I see come alive in our gardens we have planted with great labour. Butter and Sun yellow daffodils, jonquils. Croucus that always remind me of the Catholic Lenten season because of the shade of purple and white heads so showy just before Easter.

Actually the lawn is looking as if it was never touched by time or winter. Still has that just mowed appearance from last year. Specially since a nice young man raked it for a 2 bits just a couple a days ago. You should have seen the front yard on the April the 1st 2004, an April fool's joke from the lottery of weather. A wet and sticky Blizzard of snow. The yard was covered with snow two inched deep except for under the massive, aged white pine tree on corner of our front lot. How unusual it was to see a sea of white snow with an opposite island of emerald green fresh spring grass. Quite a beautiful sight. I did not have the foresight to take a picture of it! At times I can be such a bone-head.

Times passing and I need to get my butt out of this chair and do personal hygiene, get dressed and get out of the house so as to purchase the aforementioned Scott's. Hope

I leave you now till next time and as always pray for your days to be many and full.

Thought: Real friends stab you in the front. TTFN kiddies.

Matt would like to think he has great care for the earth, not a tree-hugger though.
