tch tch brenda.

cool farmer. i can't wait. don't know if i ever saw a flicker. i am so pissed. once in a while birds would hit the big windows up north at the cottage and i never took picks of stunned birds. did take a picture of a dead one tho.

no noisy red squirrels down in milw, although an eagle nesting pair has been sighted in mequon. the most pairs are in the county the cottage is in. our lake certainly had 1 pair.loons again too.
so far we got lots of mice. i have been a bad girl and put seeds on the window ledge and a mouse-BABEE mouse was there and sybil wanted THAT MOUSE. so, if any get inside, claws or no claws, she will get him.

RANDOM ESTATE SALE POST

went a bit far out of my range. east side tho. and discovered a nice part of town. middle-class black? home of an elderly sewer and knitter. KNITTER? no yarn tho. i just noticed that. well, i managed not to get another object per se, but in the attic(an elderly woman climbed these stairs???-narrow and high risers). when i was in attic room with sweaters and clothes, 3 older black woman were looking and i checked out the sweaters. and we started talking and they were excited when i said the sweaters were handmade. and $1.50! ooh, mohair! and they asked me manufacture questions. yes, that is handknitted, yes, that is typical when you put sweaters together. damn, one snagged a fluffy aqua sweater first. i enjoyed yapping with the biddies. one was the ladies neighbor and knew her. and she said she was real old. maybe the daughter took her yarn and needles. at least 2 of the sweaters had the lady's own label sewn on it. sigh. as if i NEED sweaters.
i got 4 sweaters. i passed on a fluffy brown one. sigh. it just didn't fit right.

right now i am trying to use up my box of brown/grey/beige/white yarn. making a real heavy easy warm sweater. i have already made a sweater from that box and only used 1/4 of it. hope this one uses it all up.

one less Bush week to go
one less Bush week to go
oil oil oil, how high will prices go?
polls polls polls, how low will georgie's go?
one less Bush week to go.


and you can start counting down the last '1000' days.


and before i forget. i sent this little EB snippet to Keith. reading alphonsos and one, i think the 2nd or 3rd of some spanish area 'kingdom', who unfortunately had much trouble, but a very good leader, not only lived to the ripe old age of 91 in the 11th century, he also was said to be gigantic at 7ft tall. year before his death or 2 rescued his son from attacking hoard, so very active.
very interesting.i wonder if there is a portrait of him?

farmer, don't know if cheney is in the 'old' tunnel. i TOLD my uncle he shouyld just start stabbing with the pitchform and maybe you will hit him.

had moved the bird feeder to the pussywillow tree, closer to the back '40', where the mice live. have taken it in.
less food for all of the vermin.
should try the pitchfork solution. and yes, rats are not as inquisative. maybe stick poison in bakery.

a postponment in seeing Keith for awhile. $$ issues-both sides, and busy making pots to make $$$.
sigh.

RANDOM EB POST

oy, i read about 11 pages of ALPHABET. did read it all and it did explain how roman numerals came about.no mention of the scandanavian å, ø, or their other odd letters. i do know how to pronouce the ø. did talk about the russian alphabet which was formulated by a monk named cyril.
right now in the middle of ALPHOMSO- and all the other ways of spelling it. so they can tell us all about the leaders in 'dychyies' of spain, but nada on danish kings??? fooey.
and talked about sibilants and the c for k.
KIKERO!

 
hey farmer, i see why you are 'the farmer'.
and i spoke too soon. cheney or his pal was in the back '40'again. why not live trap? we could take him to west bend to be with the rest of the republiKKKans.
need to get poison i suppose.

have i mention a woman in a SUV who has dug in our recycling cart to take out cans?
she came y today, but thois time at least she did come to the back doo r to ask if it was ok. bad teeth and bad shoes. i pointed out barefeet cost nothing. and she mentioned how cute basil was, who sits in the window and the long hair sybil. she said she had 3 pedegree maine coons. wonder why she needs cans???
at least she asked.
should save the money and deal with her teeth. i feel for her small daughter.
basil IS cute.

 
hey farmer. the only water we have is the birdbath and no dead rat there. unless he went to the sewer in the alley, which is quite close to his last residence. or he is under branches by the garage that are waiting to go to the self-help dump.

maybe he will be just bones by the time they go. the rhubarb survived the transplant. all the roses survived, except the one that died soon after putting it in.
the closest farmer's market is still enclosed due to freshening up construction. should be open soon. need tomato plants and such.
