I hate waking up feeling like a .. CRAP.. Feeling like a crap got stuck in the situation.. But here it is.. When I feel shitty any other day the thought is what did I eat that caused this to set on.. Well this time I could ask that as well.. Last Saturday night I accidentally swallowed a bug or two.. I got a few skeeter bites.. And then I wake up today and feel fairly shitty.. Could this be that west nile virus?? Could I be that unlucky to have gotten it??
Well we got another 1.1 Wednesday (one inch and one tenth) rain that day.. When I checked a guy on Facebook he was making a complaint "I just watered the lawn and garden yesterday and now we get all this rain".. Well I had heard you need to water your lawn an inch a week.. We got 1.1 on Sunday, why did he need to water on Tuesday?? And it had been nice on Monday and Tuesday.. When I went to water the Earth box yesterday it took maybe a quart of water.. They didn't use much water at all... I'm not against watering the lawn, i just watch the rain gauge and see when I need to water.. The mowing yesterday yielded what was maybe two bags of grass.. That's nice.. But I really don't like the way the lawn looks at the highest setting.. But I will leave the setting at seven through July anyway just to see if it will conserve on watering.. Supposedly it will. Taller grass needs less watering as well it supposedly keeps the weeds from growing.. So far neither of these have been proven to be true statements..
I need to cut some branches down.. The from has a tree that mom made the comment looks like a branch must have snapped and I thought she was full of it.. Well two weeks ago I could tell she was right.. Not only is that branch needing cut, other branches need to be cut to get some trees under control.. And there is a branch headed for the house again and I gotta get it before it gets really friendly and starts rubbing the house.. Can't have that.. as well we have one tree that died and another trying hard to throw in the towel..
What an odd season.. Summer.. Actually this year has been odd.. What I mean by that is a few years we had spring start early, we had leaves bud out and then come out fully.. In the past couple years since that year we have had early starts to spring only to have winter slap the reality back.. And the one tree that looks extremely sad has been nailed three years in a row, the first being the early spring and the last two where spring started early and then got a sudden return to winter.. This years being the worst we had nice weather in March, then a cold April, cold and wet.. Same with May when we had a snow storm on the Saturday before Mothers day.. Then this past week, following the forth of July it got nice.. My idea of nice is.. well almost cold enough to snow. We were in a store on Wednesday and I hear people saying they were cold.. I would never admit I was cold, even if I was.. This is July.. I don't get cold in July.. Although I will say if you are ever lucky enough to go watch the fireworks display in Silverton, on the hill next to where they shoot them off it can get down in the low 50's or even upper 40's before they are done.. That is down right chilly there.. Now it will likely get hot as shit again and not cool off or rain like that again until... Sometime later..
