Here's the undone

So the nephew stayed here over night last night, and he really hasn't changed very much.. He still hit the house and within an hour had gone through his checklist of toys and stuff he normally tears out.. Still has the attention span of a gnat.. Plays with a toy for ten minutes then moves on.. He needed me to put his railroad tracks together, and he asked me instead of demand which was a little different.. Then after I get it put together he played with it for a few minutes and then that dreaded tornado came through.. It took me longer to put it together than he played with it..  He kept waiting for the lights that I have set outside to come on, and kept saying why aren't they on yet.. I have them set to come on about six, or around then.. So when they came on he was surprised.. The tower is decorated and the small tree in front of it.. And the pine tree in back is lighted and there are lights around the gazebo and the deck, so we are a well lighted house..  He is fun to be around, and interesting to see how he sees things but his ability to comprehend is still lacking.. I'm sure he will start to kindergarten next year, because it will be easier than trying to have him go through preschool and really being ready for school..  Or not..

The weather turning more wintery and I'm wanting it to cool out more.. The idea was to water the lawn when the temperature was above fifty degrees.. Which has nearly been every week since the end on October.. The front now will be the target of watering when it is warm enough to, and the back won't because if there are watering restrictions this summer then the back will be sacrificed just like it would have been this past summer..

Remembering this past February into early spring and going into the garden area of Walmart and doing the usual thinking of the coming season to grow stuff, this coming season won't be the same if it doesn't get cold.. So far it has gotten my idea of chilly, an extra blanket on the bed type of weather..  But to me it hasn't gotten cold yet.. The bone numbing cold.. Not that I want that kind of cold but a little snow would be nice.. Remembering going to see the eagles in January and how strange that might be to see no ice this year.. So far I don't think there would be much ice anyway..

I checked the pictures I took during one of my walks on the walk/bike path and like I have said the lighting is so dramatic at this time of the year and I really like what I got.. The video of the train going over the bridge at the west end of town should be part of the video project.. I'm looking forward to messing with that video.. I have the music that will be used for that.. The second phase of the "infinity project" will start up soon..

And then there is the RSS reader.. Yesterday I started to do the slimming on that but then some of the sites look so interesting and yet up until yesterday I never looked at them.. Slimming down was on the order but then I came across some ten more sites that looked interesting and added them, but didn't put them in a folder.. I will start from the A's again and really remember to be an asshole towards them, remembering that most of these I don't look at.. it will take some time to get this done but A's   here we come..
