Rabbits are the easiest animals to slaughter," says Pasternak. "Mother Nature designed them to die: They are at the bottom of the food chain; you don’t have to pluck feathers; it’s easy to twist their necks; and skinning them is really fast and easy.”

The pollen and mold count must be through the roof!
Dianne is miserable and was sprawled out on the couch when I saw her last. And my head is plugging up with the eustacion (SIC?) tubes colapsing or something. Hello Spring!

True story told to me by a fellow I worked with years ago.
J.V. had a friend that owned a bulldog. They all went somewhere together and J.V.'s friend wanted to show him a trick that his bulldog could do.
It was in Houston, in the middle of summer. Hot and humid! The friend bought an ice cream cone at McDonalds. Thae kind that has the flat bottom. He commanded the dog to sit, and then set the icecream cone on the sidewalk right in front of it. "Stay!" he said.
So for several minutes they stood there in the heat watching the dog who was watching the icecream.
The cone melted and melted, and the dog worked up a slather of slobber which dribbled and dripped until the owner said "get it!".
The mutt ate the cone in two seconds, and icecream and slobber slung about the place in grotesque comedy.
I wish I could have seen it.

it has been a week since my last post.
Not much to report. It has been pleasantly warm for the last afternoon or two. It'll be stormy today and cool for the next week, though.
I do have surgery scheduled on my left shoulder in a couple of weeks. I tore the cuff eight or nine years ago. It always hurts some, but that has been tolerable. But I am losing some range of motion AND my insurance is going to be changing (company bought out) for the "not quite as good". That has prompted things into action.
It sounds like the recouperation is going to involve using Vicadin pretty steady for a couple of weeks. I hate that stuff! It makes me want to throw up whenever I use it (as experienced post neck surgeries). The doc said that he would give me some anti-nausia medicine to go along with it.
I am feeling some trepidation, I guess.

Spring is starting to show itsself!
I saw a butterfly, or large moth flutter by.
The fish in the pond are hitting the surface (but NOT hitting anything I tempted them with!).
Flowers on the almond tree.
76 degrees in the shade.
Red wasps in droves!! (not a good thing).
Today I limed the pasture. That is a job that is supposed to be done every three years or so arounf here, so we were overdue. It wasn't the worst job I've ever done, but I still didn't care for handling tthe messy stuff. Lots of white spots everywhere, but it is supposed to rain tomorrow, so it will disappear into the ground then.
While doing some spring cleaning in the yard, I found a big, fat black widow spider. 'S dead now. After dispatching it, I felt like spiders were touching me whenever I handled anything, or even moved around. So I came in the house. It was about to get dark anyway.
AW!!! Bunnies are good pets. We used to have some.
I hated to dress them out! None for me since 1948!
weird...who knows...that might be good to know some day.
