tree shade death

"...i'm walkin' down a bone-dry river but the cool mirage runs true
i'm bankin' on the fables of the far, far better things we do
i'm livin' for the day of reck'nin countin' down the hours
i yearn away, i burn away, i turn away the fairest flower of love..."

-dave carter

today they took a tree down in the yard just west of us - this is probably a good thing as it has been dying for years and slowly blowing down into the yards it straddles....

this will affect our yard by causing less shade

should be interesting!

i'm walkin' here!

"everybody's talkin' at me
i don't hear a word they're sayin'
only the echoes of my mind

people stoppin', starin'

i can't see the faces

only the shadows of their eyes..."

-fred neil

so.

yeah. they're starting to try to walk.... and their eyes are starting to open....

all that cool stuff!

buds in march

day 65

so.

...on day 62 i posted a shot of my cat.

she was in the midst of being extremely naughty. i just wanted to mention that - as i was very tired that night and didn't want to get into it.

by the way.... did you know that you can click on these pictures to make them bigger....?

just checking....

...and if you want to know about the cat.... just give me a call or something.... really - it's not worth getting into, here.

"...i've got a story, ain't got no moral
