Happy Mother's Day........
May. 13th, 2007 01:09 pmNot much of a Mother's day since my kiddo isn't here, but I managed to entertain myself.
Riding mower still on the blink. Asked a friend if her hubby would help teach me how to clean out the carberetor, but they were MIA. I dropped by their house to bring them some veggies from the garden. He said he'd come by Tuesday.
I had mowing on the agenda, so I got out the electric mower to do the job. It took a long time (the mower cutting width is 18"), but I got everything but the back pasture cut! The 100 foot cord plus about 12 feet thanks to two power strips was enough to just get the job done (by the skin of my teeth). They say don't go over 100ft extension cord, but I just needed a smidgen more..... I wouldn't want to mow this way all the time, but It's good to know the electric mower will work in a pinch.
I ate fresh organic cucumbers for lunch. First ones of the year, and they were good!. From now until about t July I should have plenty for me and all friends. After that it'll probably be too hot for the blooms to stay on. I'll plant again middle part of August for fall cukes.
Started watching What the Bleep Down the Rabbit Hole. So far seems simply a re-hash of the original (the dramatic sections are even copies of original..... guess they were on a budget). I liked the interviews on the flip of disc 1. I'm on disc 2 now which seems pretty much the same stuff as disk 1............I'm confused.
I'm a huge Alan Watts fan, and the ideas in these shows isn't new to me. I like hearing all sides and all ideas - very exciting stuff to ponder.
Speaking of Watts; I received the CD I ordered from Amazon - will begin listening to it soon.
