Gettin' in Riding Shape

Man, this gardening is REALLY getting me back into shape. =D
Yesterday I stayed home (to meet our air-conditioner repairman appointment) and I started outside at 10 AM, and finished outside at 8:30 PM. When you calculate the breaks, I spent 8 1/2 hours in yardwork. Here was what I got done:
1) Cut all lower limbs from Juniper trees
Read the Grimm's story of "The Juniper Tree";

2) Cut all weeds from fenceline of Training Area (it's 55 ft x 65 ft square) I gave up whacking them with a manual weeder and hooked up my recipricating saw--MUCH easier!!!

3) Mowed the weeds in the "Inner Sanctum", which includes the area in front of the barn AND the Orchard

In 2010 I grew a patch of "Millet" from a package of wild bird seed here

It looked A LOT like like this yesterday before I mowed.
4) Mowed the grass in the Inner Sanctum
What tooked F O R E V E R was the bagging and emptying (into my wheelbarrow) and moving the contents. I took the grass to the South Pasture to feed the horses. I took the weeds to my burn pile in the middle of my North Pasture (250 ft. x 310 ft.)
I think I'm ready to ride. =D

How's your prayer life?

It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the Most High. It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening, accompanied by the harp and lute and the harmony of the lyre. You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done.

Psalm 92:1-4 NLT

White and Nerdy

I am totally a Tetris nerd!! I can't believe that I downloaded "Sporktris", from a KimKomando link today.

Like I have time to waste playing a Tetris-clone!!! AAARRGGHHH!!!
I first STOLE my DD's B & W GameBoy and played it
E V E R W H E R E !!!

It's like an alcoholic or drug addiction from which you can NEVER fully recover. (THIS piece should go either far left, or 5 to the right.)


I honed my skills, then, at my peak, moved on to the full-screen size on the original Nintendo.

Believe it or not, my highest score was well OVER 256,000--NOT a world record, buy pretty bad-axx!! The building takes off when you finish that high.

I'll let you know if "Sporktris" plays well...

BTW--does anybody need a "fix"?!?!?
