Typical hippie/stoner music from the day
Ashley and the boys are staying with
us for awhile. My days are filled with either entertaining Sammy or with
Mason on my lap or both things at once. Sammy’s favorite Youtube actor
is … Sammy. He loves most of the videos I made of him, especially ones
with music. Mason is spoiled and wants to sit up all the time. They are
with Chris for the remainder of the afternoon.
In college I was assigned to read Henry David Thoreau’s Walden. I
knew it was classic American literature but when I tried to read it I
had problems with the language of the times and the Yankee view of life
in that period. I ended up borrowing a copy of Cliff’s Notes
which allowed my to get a passing grade for the course. About two weeks
ago I decided to tackle reading the entire book; it is easier going
this time but still a slow read. Thoreau was a remarkable man and he has
come to symbolize our need for nurturing the natural world. Besides,
anyone who can enjoy eating groundhog has to be a special person.
It has been a very wet spring in these
hills; grass is almost as green and lush as it was in mid-April.
Blackberry briars in the backyard are laden with green fruit even though
there was not as many blossoms as last year. Somehow that don’t make
sense but I suppose it is what it is.
Looks like I am going to have to visit an
auto mechanic to have my knee fixed; the medical profession surely is
not interested in that line of work.
Wish I was able to be out and about this glorious weekend.
