A warm summer eve....

So, the grey squirrels in the front are getting bolder.....they (at least one of ‘em) figured out how to open the plastic shoebox that I store the birdseed in....He’s robbed it at least twice now...drives Willie absolutely nutz...even gets Rusty Poodle-dogger a little antsy...The squirrel is a little messy so I had to sweep up after him today
....the seeds that he spilled, I simply swept into the little garden but I have placed a bowl full of stones on the shoe box lid...if he’s able to overcome that, I may just have to recognize Squirell Sovreignty.
It’s so hot t’day (108o) that I put off walking da boyz almost two hours....Rusty Poodle-dogger is pretty blase about that but Willie is an impatient sort. He began pestering me at his usual time ‘n when I didn’t get up t’go, he upped the ante...’n then when we got out there, he was all over the place...
Well, there ain’t so many chickens when it gets dusky ‘cuz they begin to roost along about that time...on the other hand, the cats come out to prowl in the evening hours so that kind’a evened things out...Willie finds cats much more interesting than chickens...for that matter, so does Rusty...
The cats, however, take an entirely different view...they know that the neighborhood belongs to them when the shadows form ‘n they cast some evil ‘n malevolent stares at Willie ‘n Rusty, ‘n at me as well, if truth be told ‘n as ev’ryone knows by now, I’m a stickler for the truth, as I know it anyway...
T’morra, early in the A.M. I get t’go ‘n have a cataract popped...ev’rybody ‘n their brother tells me that it’s really a simple thing, in ‘n out, a piece of cake, 20 or 30 minutes or so, a patch over the eye for a day or two ‘n walk away looking at a brand new world...more or less....then I’m told I’ll get a little help (financially) replacing one lens in my spectacles but only if I do it promptly within 2 or 3 weeks....
Ah well, I’m just sayin’.....
