A First For Me...my new toy

 

Meet "Precious" MY new Leaf Blower, the first one I have ever owned.

So tired from sweeping the pool deck and the front porch, sidewalk and driveway, I spent 2 days, reading and watching videos, comparing and overthinking.

For 2 days Bob fussed about me buying one.

For 2 days, I ignored him, even yelled at him once.

Monday I kept checking the front porch, looking at the tracking #, waiting and waiting. Precious showed up at 2:45, Charged 30 minutes, she takes and hour, but came half charged. 

I will not repeat our conversation while I "unboxed" Precious, I watched the man below, all the way from UK, showing how to unbox and use BEFORE I ordered it because I knew if it was NOT EASY, it was not for me.

The short story of unboxing, I am following steps in my head I had watched, Bob is saying that is not right give it to me. A Few Times. 

I may have yelled Shut Up. 😇

I came to a halt when trying to easily snap the battery to the charger. Bob kept saying give it to me.😇😇

I finally gave it to him, he did what he thought was right, while I said that is not right, I WATCHED the Video, you did NOT, and I plugged it in and no red light.

Without saying One Word, 😇😇😇😇

I unplugged it, pulled up Stampy, the guy with the British Accent, the guy in the video, and went to the part about putting the battery on, and saying AHA! I held Precious up and slapped her Battery on the Butt with my hand and boom, she was charging. I forgot he had to hit her to get her on the charger.

I sat waiting!

Sitting on Sofa I Saw the Light Turn Green and raced outside and in 15 minutes I had blown the pool deck, cleaned the ditch of leaves, blew leaves off the sidewalk, porch and driveway.

Without Hurting Myself. She only ways less than 5 lbs with battery included.

I came in clutching her to my heart and said I love this, I am naming her Precious.

I put her back on the charger, she was ready in 30 minutes.

I may have slapped the battery on the blower, when she turned green, and did a quick draw, you know like in a western, and said she is Ready to Roll, next time and placed her in MY Closet, not the garage.

She is skinny, lightweight, less than 5 lbs with battery on and fast and LOUD and only cost $37.99

She runs on low for 30 minutes, on high for 20 and I will never work longer than that anyway.

Precious is all Mine.

PS: our pollen count that day was 9, and pollen is everywhere, floating in the pool, and I looked like I was covered in yellow powder, and had to take a shower to stop my nose from running. I love her anyway. 

The Color Green - Saint Patrick Day

 

 I saw a REAL artist in a video, he said if you can't get any ideas what to draw, just let your pencil make a line. Leave it. Come back and stare at it until you find something you can draw. I stared at the above line a long time and

This is what I saw...  and I decided I will draw things using the color Green

Can you see the S in the fish? 

I drew a U

and ended up here...

Be-leaf me, you look great in Green and you are the cutest Clover in the patch.

I am head clover heals for you, so lets have a sham-rockin' good time.

Coinín (pronounced kin-een or quin-in) Liam, my Irish Rabbit

Liam was a perfectly good bunny—soft ears, quick feet, and a lovely purple coat.

The problem? Liam lived in Ireland, where everything else was green.

Every morning he hopped past green grass, green clover, and even a green tractor. The sheep once looked at him and whispered, “Why’s that grape hopping around?”

Liam sighed. “I wish I were green like everyone else.”

Luckily, Liam had a best friend—a pink Irish snail named Seamus.

Seamus was very slow, very pink, and very supportive.

“You don’t need to be green,” Seamus said, inching along beside him. “Look at me. I’m pink and no one even questions it.”

“That’s because you’re a snail,” Liam replied.

Still, Liam decided to try becoming green.

First, he rolled in the grass.

“Still purple,” said Seamus.

Next, he covered himself in mashed peas.

Seamus sniffed. “Now you’re a smelly purple.”

Finally, Liam dove into a giant patch of clover. A group of rabbits gasped.

“Liam!” they shouted. “You’re amazing!”

“Really?” Liam asked. “Am I green?”

“No,” they said. “But you’re the only purple Irish bunny we’ve ever seen.”

Seamus slowly caught up and nodded. “And I’m the only pink Irish snail.”

Liam smiled. “So we’re both weird?”

Seamus shrugged. “Yes… but I think that makes us legendary.”

And from that day on, the fields of Ireland had two very unusual sights:

a purple bunny hopping and a pink snail trying very hard to keep up. 🐰🐌🍀

I am moving at a snails pace, but at least I am in the green and shell-ebrating Saint Patrick's Day, Snailed It! 

Are you Dublin over with laughter? 

Beau procreate Selfies

 

I put my photo from 2022 in Chatgpt and asked AI to make Beau into a color book page sitting on a Florida Beach.

Next I colored him in procreate

and then, and then, Well you know the rest of the story

I am guilty of spidercide! by RAKE!

while following Beau around to pick up poop, he tries to find spots I have a hard time reaching. He pooped in plain view, until with Bag in hand, I bent to reach out and spied with my little eye, 

and orb weaving spiders in a HUGE all points of the earth web, the only way to reach the poop was through that web. I waved the rake and accidentally hit the spider. Usually I just knock down the web. I did apologize and admit I did it.

Their webs cling all over the body and I feel things crawling on me until I shower.

Sorry David G.

PS Beau is able to walk right under them and never disturb them, I stepped out on the front porch a few days later and the were THREE webs, I could not get to the mail box. I was careful to only take down one side of the web and grab the mail and run.

we will be here off and on, probably more off than on.
