1962 Wall Plant

Our public library rules! Or uh, rocks! Whatever!
My daughter got a bigfoot library card and was excited about that. She told me about it and that they have a bunch of different fun designs. To wit… I got the (F) octopus card today… The librarian says it’s a Kraken. Apparently I am not much of a sports fan, it didn’t even cross…
Let’s play in the poop! YAY!
I was doing some Christmas shopping and ran across this Hasbro game, “Don’t Step in it!” (It’s an Amazon exclusive!) You play it on a plastic mat, and try not to step in the unicorn poop (Relax- it’s just clay) I saw one that said “unicorn edition” on the box. I am waiting for “German…

MUSHROOM MONEY!
Apparently, there is money to be made growing mushrooms in your basement or shed.
Behind the old Johnson place
Cody got stuck under some rockery today.
Well… maybe not exactly stuck, but he had to kind of worm his way backwards to continue our walk.
ROADSIDE REPAIR! Just want to get home!
I was walking the dog just now, some guy with a work van was having a problem with overheating. I told him I have a hose in my front yard, just a block away. He drove over and his van drank and drank. I think he needs a thermostat. Been there! Done that! I have…
