Lawn Shock

As I drove closer to my house tonight, my jaw smacked the steering wheel. There by the curb, sat gi-normous leaf filled sacks, plus fallen branches I had gathered and stashed in another part of my yard. My plan was to put them by the curb tonight for tomorrow's Trash Day. Well, I got beat to that, along with my yard being mowed.

It's February 1.

I thought my grass had not grown much, if at all. Last year the guys started to mow again in March. Hence, today was quite the surprise. A nice one.

With a couple dandylions sprouted in my back yard along with robins hoppin' and boppin with mourning doves, the pigeons--which I swear, are the same ones from last year--and starlings chow the cat food I set out for the neighborhood cats--Spring must not be too far away.

It's February 1.

And I love it.

Monday Monday...

The actual temperature is 105.

Got 90 pounds of cat litter in the car. There's the 30lb bag Movie Man put there Saturday. The other 60? Well, I purchased three 20lb bags for 86 cents each. A name brand too. No joke. The grocery store I ventured to is in the midst of remodeling, hence had a sale. These bags of litter had been trampled on, but heck--the stuff inside of the bags was still good. It's gonna be real hot cat litter, 'cause I ain't gonna be dragging it all in just this second.

Brad, Angie and the brood in People magazine. All for a scant 14 mil. At least it's charity's gain.

Who has read the Stephenie Meyer Twilight Books? I never heard of them or her until last week. Curious. I know a movie is coming out later on. She says she had 'a dream' and wrote this story. Since dreams do come true, maybe the ones I have that center on Terrance Howard and Tom Hanks will come to pass.

The birds in my backyward await their evening feed and water. My cats ignore me, like I ignore my kitchen floor that craves attention of a mop--again. The DVR yearns to have its "PLAY" button tapped for today's trip to the Young and Restless's Genoa City. And my salad will satisfy with the BEST croutons in the world sprinkled on top: New York Texas Toast Croutons....yum!

Monday Monday...so good to me!
