Betic

Three day weekend, Betic and the Train Catchers are down for the weekend. First thing he did was grab a milk crate full of cans and jumped in the pool for a warm up before they go out tonight.
It will be Betic, he lives for this, Jjr. he's into it too, but likes taking friends, M. will go, he's not an artist, but if your not supposed to do it he's in. It's always fun when the vagabonds drop in, somebody's always up, and generally someones passed out on a couch. Right now we've got Betic doing his thing in the pool, somebody crashed on the couch, J's out back working on the 455 heads

Jjr just left to watch the Diamondbacks game, and M's working on the Sx, I'm kinda wandering around playing with the computer and dealing with Fingus, she's pissed because it's raining and she wants to go out, she thinks if I won't turn off the rain like I do the shower it's incumbent on me to give her constant attention.
I have to share food too, she's turning up her nose at the current flavor of dry, but she'll eat my pancakes.
Yesterday I spent with Fingus in the Front yard, turning giant shrubs back into trees, it took 3 truckloads to haul it off, but they do look like proper trees now.
Just in time to, with the rain today they'll be exploding by the end of the week.
I'm really starting to get into the whole gardening thing, not just the herbs and vegetables for cooking, but the whole yard. It's really calming, Plants don't talk back, they don't wander off, and nobody gets upset if you kill and eat them...
It is cool, though, I mean you start with this little rock looking thing, some water and some dirt, and somehow this rock turns into something delicate and green fighting its way out of the dirt, its so fragile at first that you have to be careful watering it. Then it grows and thickens, the stalk firms up, then it blooms. I think everybody who has kids should try gardening, the principal is the same, even when their grown and bearing fruit, sometimes it's too heavy and they need some support. Next I'm going to plant a couple of avacado trees, It will be at least 10 years before they fruit, but somebody will enjoy them...
Fingus is climbing in my lap and on the keyboard and slapping the mouse, so that will be that for now.
