Two titles

It's May first, and with that comes a change in mentality towards watering and other things having to do with lawn and gardening.. The pumpkin patch was covered with leaves and the old pumpkins that were carved for Halloween, mostly for the seeds.. and Tuesday I checked by way of tilling to see how it might look.. That was the deepest amount of leaves I had in that section and it turned over extremely well.. I won't turn it all over, not right of way anyway.. Also Tuesday the area by the gas meter got turned over.. With the idea of planting that as tomatoes or..  maybe just reseeding as grass.. Don't know which way to go there, that area is really hard to keep the grass green, and might be equally hard to keep tomatoes green as well.. I'll try to keep that tilled until memorial weekend then either put tomatoes in there or reseed to grass.. The section of the garden by the ally might be tilled all summer, till it every week, and try to keep that from getting weeds taking it over like it has been every year for the past five or six years..  The pumpkin patch will have as many as three tomatoes in there, as well the Earth box will hopefully have the container variety tomatoes that I wanted last year but couldn't get, this year they will either be container, or roma.. variety and two of each to see if they support each other rather than cross pollinate..  Over all we had around nine tomato plants last year.. Might have about as many this year.. Hey speaking of lawn care, you need a lawn mower to do that and the decision was made earlier in the week and then acted upon.. yesterday.. Well we went looking for an electric lawn mower yesterday in a town a little ways away.. Of the four stores I looked for one at, Home Depot, Walmart, Sears and a mom and pop hardware store, all of them had no electric lawnmower.. The saddest part of that statement is that if there are any people that believe in going "green" then the stores that are there that don't have any are not giving true choice in the matter.. Reasoning for not having an electric lawnmower??  I think the feeling that you are mowing your lawn with an electric lawnmower is equal to vacuuming it.. For me the aggravation of everything a gas mower has to offer is overwhelming.. That and my arms being the way they are.. So what model did I settle on??  The old Goat model 3000..  Just joking, actually I got the Black and Decker 2000... The latest model.. Also with the grass catcher I think people were turned off that most electric mowers didn't or couldn't have grass catchers.. They do now and after my first mowing with the grass catcher on I will let you know how it works.. Now we ordered the mower from Walmart dot com and could have gotten it cheaper from Amazon except that .. Well it would have only been maybe five dollars cheaper.. Maybe not, the reason I went with Walmart dot com was because we can take it back to the store (I think) and they can figure out how to send it back, rather than us going to the local UPS shipping center at between the hours of ...  and ...  on days the moon is in the sky at  an arc just below 75 degrees left of the right ...    It's no fun messing with returns with UPS, it's why more often than not I just burn whatever it was that needs to be returned..

TV shows ended this past week or so.. Burn notice ended interestingly, it's always interesting to see how they end series.. I never looked up to see if some shows were cancelled or were actually ended.. Burn Notice ended.. Same as Fringe, it ended although the final season felt like it was only related to the rest of the series in that it had the same people as the first seasons.. the final season was kind of disappointing but was still good enough. And then there was One Tree Hill, just ended that Wednesday night with a three episode binge watching.. Not really disappointing finish, the show really ran it's course and if I were to watch it again I would watch until the graduate from School and no more than that.. So where do you go from here??  I decided to watch some shows that are short and will end by the end of May, with shows like Friends that I started just after the first of the year and will watch to the final by the end of May (I think that is the timing) and Cheers and Frazier,  and Coach... Get those shows wrapped up by the end of May.. Then start  a longer series. Show like Damages and Friday night Lights.. or at least try them..
