Sunday Morning Coming Down

Naaa, I'm not late getting up...nor did I go fishin' but I should have...just late getting on line this morning. It is a beautiful morning on Sweetthing's half acre! Not a cloud in the sky and just enough sea breeze to make the 75F air temperature pleasant. I took advantage of the weather and did some chores...such as gathering enough blackeyed peas and okra for my dinner as well as a quart of cherry tomatoes that I added to the gallon in the doublewide that I need to work up...maybe this afternoon. Pleasant mornings are rare this time of year. Usually by daylight it is 85F and muggy...sauna kinda weather where a half hour in it requires a soapy shower to get off the salty sweat. Hell, this time of year sweetthing washes my hats every couple of days to get the sweat salt ring out of them.

The rain has been good for the flora I reckon...at least the weeds. The raised vegetable beds that are no longer producing anything are grown up in weeds over knees high. I need to pull them out and cover the beds with mulch but it is just too damn hot. maybe in the morning if it is another nice one.

I'm trying to cook my black eyed peas this morning the way my maternal Grannie used to prepare them...boiling them with a garlic pod and some pork sausage. Well, it won't be exactly like Grandma's..she made her own sausage and what I used is made in Miami...probably by illegal immigrants. Heh...now ain't that a twist on fate...my Grandma was a Choctaw and I reckon they figured the white eyes were illegal immigrants.

Ya know, humans ain't never satisfied. Every winter I wish for summer and warmer weather and then when the dawg days hit I wish for fall and cooler weather. heh. I reckon no where is perfect, huh? Some say that the southern coast of Kalifornia has perfect weather..ya know? The San Diego area. But the only time I was there I had to carry a rock to knock people out of the way so I could walk down the side walk...too damn many people and too much bother carrying the rock...

I reckon I'll go ahead and ruin my good mood and scan the internet news. Saw some on Fox Cable News this morning but I was sucking that gotdam nebulizer and it makes so much noise that I just got pieces of it...Obama is on the tear trying to justify the bad economy and still blaming Bush..heh. Eventually people will see that this sumbitch ain't wearing no clothes and when he does put on a suit it is empty.

Y'all come, heah? I'll put another cup of water in the peas and add some more okra.
