If I kept a diary.... Stuff I saw today.

grrrrrrrr...
What would I write in it? Really? I doubt people want to hear about pulling weeds and trying to pawn zucchini off on my neighbors and all that. My job is pretty much "I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you"... not because it's all that top secret, but every month I need to renew my confidentiality agreement signed in blood on the fulll moon because large capitalistic corporate policy and procedures can't be whispered to just anyone.

Maybe I'll take pictures of stuff that catches my eye...

The press is calling it "The Summer of Blood" in Cleveland. The East Side is more or less a war zone now and for the first time I don't feel safe doing my job. I've worked in the inner cities of Baltimore, Philly, DC and Detroit.... but it took the East Side of Cleveland to finally scare me off.


A couple of people were shot

here a few days ago. Its where I sometimes stop to get ice cream.

I don't think I want to go back.

Middlefield is such a contrast from Cleveland. I think I'll stop here for ice cream instead.

I talked to the family this buggy belonged to, the wife recognized me from a quilt auction in Kidron a couple of years back. They have 5 boys ranging from 2-8 years and she is expecting again in September. I'm sure she's hoping for a girl.

This is from last month, I had taken a bunch of garden photos, but just haven't been in the mood to upload them.

This is a wild rabbit nest. I saw the scratched dirt and what looked like dried grass, so pulled it aside and you can see the rabbits fur mixed with grass. The babies stay in that little borrow, covered with the fur/grass until they're big enough to run away.

I have a friend from Cincinnati but now lives in Columbus and she just swears there isn't a bad area of Ohio. She's been trying to convince me to move there for years. Ummmmm, and give up 80 degree Christmases? I don't think so. She lived here for 5 years and just got fed up with all the Mexicans, that was her excuse anyway, I just think she realized how much she didn't fit in.

They say California is supposed to have the biggest population growth this year and I say, of course, what's not to love? I admit that living elsewhere sometimes intrigues me but then I just think about humidity and shoveling snow and I'm so happy to be here again.

Are you saying that a negro shooting two people at the UDF is really just looking for food? Interesting.

I really detest pink... the color, not the singer.

My sister is going to have a baby in 3 weeks and she made the mistake of telling everyone she was having a girl and EVERYONE she knows has been running out to buy her little pink things or give her little pink things they got for their baby and never used. She had two, no three baby showers and even the Mennonite ladies couldn't pass on the pink! So Friday I helped her sort thru her baby clothes and we discovered that she has enough little pink things that she wouldn't have to do laundry for 6 months if she didn't want to... hundreds, and I do mean hundreds of little pink sleepers and shirts and things. And I'm thinking if she ends up having a boy, he's going to be a crossdresser from birth. Seeing all that pink all afternoon made me want to go drown puppies!

Then Yesterday we went to visit yet another friend who had yet another shower and there were even MORE pink things. The food was excellent though and I was able to network with a couple of auditors working out of a CPA office. I do believe I'm ready to give up on the gypsy life.

One of my best friends had a girl two years ago, to this day I've never seen her in any color other than pink. It didn't help that it's her mom's favorite color.

Now that's a set-up for Tasvir if I ever saw one. :D
 
The most active wildlife in my yard is a mole. A VERY active mole. I've been told that a mole can tunnel the length of a football field in one night and he's been working on my yard since April so there are so many tunnels it's like walking on a sponge! I was told to stand in the yard with a pitchfork and jab them when I see them tunneling, but..... eeehhhh, I don't know. A chipmonk has been gnawing on one of my little watermelons, I caught him in the act! He'd better not taste every one or I'll borrow a cat.

I love pink. Especially the pinkness that comes when certain tissues swell with blood.
