Spring has sprung! For lunch we fired up the grill and had BBQ ribs. I sat in my Adirondack chair and sipped wild turkey while cooking. Here’s a picture of them when there was still some snow:
My Chair is the one in the background, I call it “Old Tetanus” because you can get gouged by rusty nails if you don’t use caution sitting in it. My mom bought me this chair at a yard sale falsely thinking that I might fix it up. Fuck that, I occasionally grab a hammer and bang the lose nails back in. The one in the foreground one of my neighbors put it out on the curb one weekend. It had a ratty cushion on it that obviously housed a family of mice at some point. I chucked the cushion and gave it a hit with the hose, then let the wind and rain clean it off and its a damn nice Adirondack chair….but I don’t like it as much as Old Tetanus.
But yeah there’s no snow. After lunch we went for a walk with Vector and $w33t-P, then I went like crazy at some yard work that needed to get done. I raked the leaves, and divided up both my Bleeding Hearts, and my Lamb’s Ear, both of which had grown quite well and needed to be thinned a bit. We’ll see if the transplants take…but if they don’t, I’m a fucking Zoologist, I have ZERO sympathy for plants!
Enjoy the weather people, you know I am!
Old Tetanus, good name.
Believe it or not, its a great chair too!
You just made me feel a lot less cheap for having reclaimed neighbor garbage lawn furniture. Thanks for that.
Stuff left on the curb, and yard sales must always be looked at! One person’s trash is another man’s treasure.
When I got my current grill I put the old out out on the curb and began putting the new one together in the driveway. The next time I looked down to the curb it was gone…not only had somebody snatched up my grill QUICKLY but QUIETLY! 😀
