Thoughts on the Day

  • Boo announced that Irish Woman will be teaching Moonshine the Wonder Pup kung-fu.  Nothing good can come from this.
  • I cut down one of our older cherry trees this afternoon.  The poor thing just didn’t survive last year’s drought, even with hand watering.  I cut from the outside in, and checked the wood for life after every cut.  It was dry and well-seasoned all the way through, even in the main trunk.
    • It’ll make good smoke for the grill and firewood during the winter.
    • If I had more time and was a tad more crafty, I’d take some of the straighter sections and carve them into wooden spoons.
    • Luckily, there is a 5 foot volunteer tree from one of its cherries growing a few feet away, so we’ll transplant that into the same spot when we dig out the stump this fall.
  • I love the smell of oil soap and lemon cleaner.
    • Irish Woman and Girlie Bear went to a party and Boo took a nap, so I scrubbed down as much of the house as I could without making noise.  Irish Woman is taking a couple days off work, and I want her to relax a bit.
  • It seemed odd to have a pleasant evening walk with comfortable temperatures in August.  Normally, I’m barricading myself behind a dehumidifier at this particular time of year.
  • I’m not sure how this evening is going to end.  I put down some catnip for Koshka so that she wouldn’t try to decapitate me when I put flea repellant on her, and Moonshine snarfled it all up.  The interwebs say that it’s safe and probably won’t have an effect, but he’s weird enough as it is.

    I must find a way to use “snarfled” in everyday conversation now…
