Morning OFC. Typical day here.I mean typical for spring. Have chores both inside and out. No time to get bored here. Life is good....I like doing what I do and there is plenty to do. No porch sitting for this O'l fart!!

Close to 80f today and snow early next week. Colorado living at 6,000 ft. Normal for spring here.

My maters should start showing roots soon. Will baby them until harvest in August. Won't be long until the cold weather plants go in the ground. Same O'l routine every year.

Critters are screaming at me....better go feed them.
 
Just got my second scam call in as many days from an Indian scam farm. The guy has a really hard to understand Hindi accent, and claims he's officer such-and-such and that he works for the Customs and US Border Security department.
On the first day, the scammer claimed that they'd intercepted a package addressed to me containing contraband and cash. I told him to send it, as I can always use more drugs and money. He said I'd receive my package in the next two weeks!
Same dude today, but this time I gave him a little rope. I told him that I wanted to know what kind of drugs and how much money I could expect. He asked my name. I told him he already knew. He rattled off my name. Any good scam farm already has a reverse phone number search engine, so it was easy for him. He started telling me something about penalties and prosecution, etc., but it was in such terrible English that I couldn't understand most of it.
Long story short, I called him a urine drinking Hindu fornicator (not the exact words) and hung up on him. He'll call back tomorrow, for sure.
Weird phone number he was calling from. 447-444-166-9426.
Think I'll inform him tomorrow that I work for the BATFE and Homeland Security and demand his name and the address of the company he works for. Bet he slams that phone quick.
 
Is Time just another object being pulled by gravity ? Is it a desired outcome like pulling a bud and putting it's contents down your esophagus or throat ? ... Life Huh ?

I told my Guardian Angel to just take me away this morning while looking at my Magic Mirror .. life
 
Well. I wrecked my left hand building the brick oven. I must admit I did go a bit O.T.T. 160 bricks. 7 layers of concrete or Perlite mortar. Lifting and cutting the tiles. Then today I was out shopping for necessities, you know the kind of things, real essentials like 55lb bags of sphagnum peat and black soil and humous and things like that. Not to mention the cactus soil but I had better not mention that. When I got back to the car with all this and couldn't move it one-handed, I was glad to be able to claim on the wife guarantee service. I am on bread and water this evening.
 
I have a tiny peach growing on my new tiny peach tree (a pinkie-fingle thick 4' high).

It is on the very end of the only branch with leaves on it. About the size of a green pea.

We finally tumbled to what the heck has been tearing up my rainbow tree. Deep claw marks down to the wood. Herself and Your Humble Obdn't &tc were having dinner while watching the afternoon animobile show -- a dancing peacock, a bunny rabbit that was trying to get some of the goodies the peacock was dancing over, a mated painted bunting pair on the feeder, and the ever-present gaggle of squirrels and doves...

...and out of my thick bushes in the back comes a rackety-coon! But the raccoon was fargin huge! He was very tubby, and as he waddled in what was clearly his best effort at running, he looked like a very overfed pet. He headed right for the rainbow tree.

He looked like this:
