not the reptile things living in our fake lake

Dear QotD?ers,

I came home from work a little early today on account of feeling slightly sick. It's completely resperatory, so it's possible that springtime allergens are doing bad things to my system. or I could be sick. tomorrow is a day off, so I intend to rest.

Dear QotD?ers,

Like many of you, it has been a very long time since I've dyed Easter eggs. There will be some cookie making on Thursday. Cookies require eggs. I'm going to dye those empty shells! For any of you that are inspired to dye or decorate eggs, you can e-mail me a picture and I'll share it with everyone.

I still haven't put out Easter decorations, however, there are a lot of peepy chickens that have come to visit. and by 'a lot' I mean 100+ peepy chickens.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

If you were a fearsome pirate, what would your pirate name be?

Love,

brings to mind a strong smell of vinegar

Dear QotD?ers,

When we got home today and checked the back yard, it appears that someone came and pulled the suspect cable out an additional foot. and part of that foot that was pulled out appears to be completely stripped of major insulation. I don't know whos doing what or why, but I hope they figure it out soon so I can plant my shrubbery.

I would love to plant tomatoes, strawberries, green beans, corn, sweet potatoes, brocolli, watermellon. did I mention green beans?

Today's Question of the Day? is:

When is the last time you dyed Easter Eggs?

Love,
The Asker

more than we bargained for.

Dear QotD?ers,

This weekend, Justin and I decided to add some color to our yard. However, this is not what we had in mind.
Yes, we found some shallow buried utility cables in our back flower bed as we pulled up some old (mostly dead*) shrubs. We called it in and over the course of the rest of the weekend, 3 seperate dudes came and we now have 3 different colors of spray paint throughout our backyard. with flags! We weren't really given any direction on whether we can plant our new shrubs or not. So for now, they will stay in pots.

Other than that, it was a great weekend! There is a rose bush (orange) and lantana in the front flower bed that should look beautiful together once they are in full bloom.

Things that cheer me up: a really good book, electric blankets, hot chocolate from IHOP, game night, naps in the sunshine

Today's Question of the Day? is:

If you had ideal conditions, what would you grow in a vegetable garden?

Love,

*shrub: I'm not dead. I'm getting better
me: no you're not ~pulls it out and throws it on the pile~

let the cheering continue!

Dear QotD?ers,

All of your poems made me smile. Thank you very much for sharing your creativity and your thoughtfulness. I should state that Jackie wins and I now believe the best poems end in Refrigerator.
Work itself wasn't better today. And something exceptionally creepy happened. I discovered a chyrssalis in the skin of a pistachio. It startled me a great deal. This was in the last bit of the pistachio package, so I'm left wondering if I've been eating bugs.

OK, back to happy time things. It was a lovely day outside, wasn't it? Really, I don't know. I was inside all day. I hope it will be nice over the weekend, though.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What is something that usually cheers you up?

Love,
The Asker

cheer me

Dear QotD?ers,

Tody, work was very stressfull. And it was rainy, so we couldn't even enjoy a picnic lunch outside. Ug. I did have a few cookies for dessert, and they were pretty good so that helped some. But overall, I'll be glad when it is early May and this big work project is over with.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Would you write me a short poem to cheer me up?

Love,
The Asker

ACME brand

Dear QotD?ers,

you have all given me something to think about. I will contemplate for next Thursday.

Today was a nice day, so we ate lunch out on the patio at the picnic tables. It's a refreshing break to the long day. Sunshine! Flowers! fresh air! (times square! ;] )

Tonight we went to the annual Home Owner's Associate meeting where it was confirmed that we have TWO ALLIGATORS in the fake lake and Wildlife Services won't do anything unless they hurt someone/thing

Today's Question of the Day? is:

If you ran your own alligator trapping service, based on the teachings of Wile E. Coyotte, how would you go about trapping the alligators?

Love,
The Asker
