I'm not having any fun. My landscaping friend popped by, took a look at the plan, took a look at my playpen, and said, "it will look beautiful." His crew should be here by mid-May to clean up my mess. And it will look beautiful after they have finished!!!

I found two more perennials that I forgot to repot! YiYiYi! Zinga!

Three arrived in mail yesterday. At least he told me the rose that I worried about was dead on arrival.

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the
answer to "Where do pets come from?"

Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every
day. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is
difficult for me to remember how much you love me."


And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that
will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for
you,so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion
will accept you as you are & will love you as I do, in spite of
yourself,"

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a
good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to
be with Adam and he wagged his tail.

And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the
Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal."

And God said, "No problem! Because I have created this new animal to
be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of
my own name, and you will call him DOG.

And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the
Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts
and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration.
Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but perhaps too well."

And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who
will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion
will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not
always worthy of adoration."

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility.

And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved. And Dog was
happy.

And the cat didn't give a shit one way or the other.
