Summertime, & the Livin' is. . .

Whoever said “easy” didn't have a garden, a yard, flowers, etc. At least not the size of mine. Spent a chunk of yesterday removing the volunteer daisies. One shouldn't complain—they were exceedingly lovely and planted themselves, so no work on the front end either.

Doing “plows” in the garden (a yoga move, bending in half from the waist with your feet suspended over your head) is what pulling weeds is standing up, so gardening is actually as good or perhaps better exercise than yoga. Not to mention the spinach, radishes, lettuce and arugula these cooler temps have brought us.

Saw on the Internet that George Bush, Sr. turned 90; they were throwing him a “bash.” There is a guy who deserves a couple bashes. My Netflix choice brought me a 1990's documentary this week: Enron—the Smartest Guys in the Room. Not “the smartest,” but the most corrupt. Both Geo Bush father & son were involved in that , and a lot of other people suffered, lost jobs, stock value, etc. A nice bash for both Bushes!

Critical Eye has discovered that film documentary is a convenient, easy device for keeping track of stuff we shouldn't forget.
