"One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change fro being young."O dem luv’ly streets of Ol Fair Oaks...
me ‘n da boyz went walking several times t’day...it’s a quiet day, pretty much, well, except for Doug ‘n his lawnmower but since he was all the way t’the end of the street, he wudn’t really bothering anyone...I really should be working in the yard but I’m terribly lazy...ain’t a whole lot wrong with being lazy s’long as you ain’t shiftless...shiftless is bad! Shiftless c’d get a poor boy in trouble quicker’n most anything else where I grew up...
Nosirreebob! My mama just wudn’t stand for shiftless....
Which don’t have a lot t’do with anything t’day...I just didn’t want’a work in the yard so I didn’t...what I did was to transplant a hugely overgrown plant that Millyrose sed she wanted in a larger pot....so I did it... or tried t’do it...I had to get Millyrose to help ‘n I’m gonna have to buy some more potting soil t’morra....but that’s another story....
we were watching the nooze about the tornadoes when Willie ‘n Rusty set up such a racket that I tho’t that at the least, we were being attacked by Martians or some other illegal aliens...
‘course, we wudn’t....what it wuz, wuz a deer standing in our front yard...nice sized buck too with a nice rack of antlers still in velvet....my dogs were coming unglued ‘n the dogs ‘crost the street were doing the same ‘n he just stood there looking somewhat bemused...Millyrose ran for her camera ‘n snapped a half-dozen or so pics...
The deer normally come ‘n visit our south forty ever’ summer but gen’elly speaking, they come a little later in the year...I don’t think this fellow’ll stay very long...he’s by himself ‘n we got some construction going on in the house next door ‘n they’d prob’ly disturb his afternoon naps...
