Anyway, the weather was great yesterday. I mowed more leaves, those in the yard to the side of my house. And, surprise, surprise! I still have roses!
Out in the front yard, my Ginkgo is turning golden.
Years and years ago I used to be a smoker. I stopped. One of the things that helped me quit was a website designed for quitters. The first thing I did every morning was go to that website and click the button "no cigarettes." And I'm not talking about one or two years here, I'm talking about a really, really long time. Well, yesterday morning, they updated the website. I can no longer sign in. My account is gone. So, what did I do? I took a deep breath and decided this was a sign, a gift on my birthday, that the time had come to put this part of my morning routine to bed... forever. It was odd this morning, but I'll get used to it.
Oh, and I see the Idiot Jerk in the White House has named some 'kiss ass' as the new acting Attorney General. He is desperately trying to keep his spawn, Donnie Jr. from being indicted. That ain't going to happen. In fact, anything and everything this Whitaker guy does is going to be questioned, and challenged. Even Kellyann Conway's husband says the appointment is unconstitutional, as if the Idiot Jerk in the White House actually cares about the Constitution.
Toadstool Yetipubes is lashing out because he's a spoiled brat and things are not going the way he wants them to go. I surely hope Donnie Jr. is going to feel the weight of the law for being as corrupt as his daddy, new AG or not. And that tree is stunning!
ReplyDeleteTheir lives are going to go to hell in a hand basket! And the bigger the tree, the more beautiful it gets.
DeleteI should think a golden ginko would be a special prize...
ReplyDeletecongrats on the no smoking for umpty-ump years!
Oh, and I forgot to mention ginkgo have sexes... and mine also happens to be a male.
DeleteHe's only going to get worse [and yes, it's possible] now that he doesn't have all the power. The Fat Bastard is not used to that!
ReplyDeleteI understand he's going to be spending a lot of time among his sycophants this holiday season... no doubt they'll be licking his wounds.
DeleteYour gingko is BEAUTIFUL! My husband and I are homeowners as of yesterday (!) and we're debating about an ornamental tree to plant in the front yard. I had forgotten how beautiful gingkos are, so thank you for posting this picture!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a great birthday yesterday! Today is my husband's birthday...good people are born in early November. :)
CONGRATULATIONS on your new home! Home ownership is smart! And a Happy Birthday to your husband! a fellow Scorpio!
DeleteI thought you were talking about a lizard that sold insurance. Gecko, duh!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on quitting the cancer sticks. I know how hard it can be. It was easier for my sister to give up sex addiction and crack than nicotine.
She gave up sex addiction? Shit, I thought that was the only healthy addiction.
DeleteNot if you're using it to get more crack from drug addled schizophrenics! She's 58, clean and the whole family is surprised she's still alive.
