Moderate pragmatic, fiscal conservative, social liberal. Often referred to as "an armed libtard". I'll accept that.
So... They asked, what do we do with the leftover beans? You make bean dip of course.
Get up to make coffee. That's all the time it took for one girl to crawl under the covers, and her blond sister to join her in an attempt to take over my side of the bed. Note the nose sticking out by the blond's front feet.
I couldn't find her. Then I took a break to watch a news program. I should have known.
Every spring we suffer ant invasion. You wake up and find your pristine countertop has a trail of them harvesting the cookie crumbs on the lone saucer on the counter. But I found a cure. Put one of these out there and in an hour they are gone never to invade again.
She came in, cried and begged. I asked, what do you want sweet baby? She wanted me to lay in bed with her.
One has to be careful when suggesting to one's psychologically disabled daughter that we might need a couple more pieces of firewood tonight.
I make up the bed in the morning. It's an old habit left ingrained from the military. But often as not I come back in to find it in complete disarray because of this little lady's desired arrangements.
I woke to find an invasion of these tiny ants in my office/junkroom. They seemed quite possessive of a scarp paper I was taking notes on. So I placed a few drops of this ant bait I recently bought. firt four of them found it and sucked it up, then disappeared. They brought back some buds.
You are still looking fine. I used to tell ladies they were "fine as frog's hair" but they often looked puzzled. I would ask, "Have you ever held a frog?". When they said yes I would ask, "Did you feel their hair?"
LOL! I wake up most mornings to this, and it always makes me laugh, first thing. My youngest dog and her blanket fetish.
I am also fully vaccinated, and wear a mask as is appropriate. I bought that shirt about 2 years ago. It irritates some people, and has gotten some pretty nasty remarks. But so has this one, but it has as often gotten a lot of laughs.
It's finally dry enough to get the back yard cleaned up. My herbs are going crazy (mint, rosemary, thyme, and sage). As is my grape. They need some water today. Time to get a basil started. Last year's ended up about 4-5ft tall and was shading the rest of the garden.
The French went through something very similar (1789-1799) as we are experiencing today. It took them ten years to fix it, but they had something that we would find in short supply today. But I bet there are enough of us pretty handy with a saw and grinder.
Leftovers from tacos last night. Spread the "crumbs" from the old Tostitos chips on parchment paper. Then strategically arrange the whole chips from the new one. Sprinkle the taco meat and other fixings over them. Add a generous layer of extra sharp cheddar. Pop in the oven. Nacho goodness!
