Yesterday, the gravel was delivered....duhhhhh did I miss something...because I distinctly remember hand pailing all that gravel into barrels....how could you forget something like that....and now a truck drives into the yard and dumps it's load and a load in it's pup trailer...on our driveway... What the Hell ? R forgot to mention that he decided that we needed more gravel than that and had ordered a few more yards....shit....anyway...it is the ugliest gravel I've ever seen...I know, gravel is gravel right.. that's what I used to think too....but not so....there are lots of different colours of gravel and a few years ago we had our driveway done and they brought some really nice tan coloured stuff...just rocks but the sand that's in it was really tan coloured...well today they dumped the pup trailer full of the darkest, nearly black looking gravel right on top of my lovely tan driveway....Shit. I was not a happy camper....now it looks like R dumped a load of black dirt there....after I had my typical hissy fit and he was in complete agreement with me that it looked like shit....he scraped nearly all of it off and put it on the driveway going up to the barn, which needed it too...and is not so visible...I know I am spoiled....but for god's sake, all this hard work is so the place looks nicer and then they cover your driveway in that....when R phoned them to see if they had any tan coloured stuff available...he said no...but they did have this other pebble stuff that we could cover over it with....ya I bet they do....probably costs an arm and a leg and we would have to do the whole driveway to get a uniform look again....blast it all to hell.... It's a conspiracy I tell you, a damned conspiracy...
I watched a pair of magpies tend their nest right outside my front door and did nothing about it...well now, in reward for my don't give a shit attitude, I get to listen to baby magpies screeching and squawking all day long...it is so bad that I close the window at bedtime so they don't wake us up with all the screaming in the early morning....I know you are probably wondering why I haven't just shot them like I have so many other things that piss me off around here...ahahahahha but have you ever tried to shoot a magpie, they are very clever and flighty...nearly as hard to shoot as a cat...ahahahahaha blood thirsty bitch aren't I ..... Speaking of cats...the kitten that was raised down around the house here has disappeared....R thinks the Tom Cat did him in, since he would have grown into a rival male....poor little sot... This new Tom Cat that has moved in is a real dink....he walks around patrolling his territory with a real swagger like he thinks he is one cool cat....and they only good thing I can say about the magpies is that they attack the Tom Cat every time he walks up the driveway....they are just protecting their nest but it makes me laugh to see them hopping along behind the Tom grabbing his tail and pecking him....they squawk and yell and he just keeps walking slowly away...even when they actually touch him...I guess it wouldn't be COOL to run....
I discovered the other day that there is a bumble bee nest in the quad shed and every time I have to go in there for my quad or my mower....they all come buzzing out and fly around me....I like bumble bees and they are very beneficial to have around but they do make me very nervous enforce....by the dozens...big ones and little ones....We talked about spraying them but decided we would rather not do that....oh don't get me wrong if it were wasps or hornets...they'd be gone but bumble bees...is another story...besides you have to really piss them off before they will sting you...I even have little plastic floaty things in all my rain barrels so they can land and take off again after having a drink of water and not drowned in the water....it makes me sad when one dies...I might be the BEE WHISPERER.....hahahahahhaha
