My first one is a live pear.

I don’t know about you, but I never have anything pop up in the ‘search terms’ box of my stats page…. until now.

I was excited! What was someone looking for when they arrived at my page… Chickens? Rocks? Rodent rebellions? It could be anything.

New live pears?

What the…

What?

This required a Google search of my own.

The Grisly Pear and… zombies.

No, that can’t be right.

Let’s try again.

Okay, a giant lau lau is strange enough…

But a waterproof bullet vibrator?

What the utter F!

I needed a holiday from the holiday.

Our last day of the long Memorial Day weekend meant a morning of yard work.

Tag team mowing with the husband on his new toy and me slogging along with the old push mower.

It was a gorgeous day.

The pear tree was blooming.

The mallows I’d planted were thriving.

And everything had finally turned green.

Except the baby barn which I decided to start painting that afternoon.

Let me preface this by saying I used to love to paint.

I used to.

Until I had to use an artist’s tiny brush around all the nooks, corners, flashing and crooked angles on that beast.

Did I wear some paint, get covered in dirt, rip my pants, tumble off a ladder and work until almost 8:00 at night?

Yes I did.

But paint was applied.

And covered a multitude of sins.

Three sides done, one to go!

Things I like today… chapter 4.

I like…

This road sign we passed on a country lane.

Notice to salesmen – please move along.

I like…

Sitting on my deck reading,

And being quiet enough to have a few visitors drop by.

I like….

This kind of race.

I might get a little winded…

But at least I know I’ll be able to cross the finish line.

I like….

My fruit infuser pitcher.

I know I should drink gallons of water daily, but let’s face it…unless it’s toning down my bourbon?

I’m not really interested.

But chop up some fresh strawberries and let it sit overnight?

Quite tasty.

I’ve tried pineapple. Wonderful!

Mango? Meh.

Watermelon? No flavor at all.

Pear seemed like a good idea….

But it turned brown and slimy in mere hours… so no to pear.
