• Mundane? You betcha', just as we like it

  Having nothing new to say nor the time for a new post Lucy will update  a Springtime 2009 post. That makes this a double dose of mundane. I hope it is not an overdose of mundane since there is no known cure for that.

  Having nothing to say has never kept Little Lucy quiet.  To keep this from being too mundane I will place my entry in numerical order, thus making it a touch more than the ordinary. I could use Roman numerals to make this post  really extraordinary but can not remember them.

  #1  There has also been comparison of Facebook to Xanga. Xanga is my choice, my #1 favorite for many reasons.

  a: It is my 1st love, my 1st blogging discovery

  b: It has brought my family into closer contact than we had before, a  sweet closeness I cherish

  c: Xanga let's you be as fancy,creative or mundane as you choose to be

  d: There is no big deal on Xanga made of adding "friends" Come on, how can anyone have 997 "friends". Xanga  sorta' has this feature but I never check it. The adding of "friends" on Facebook or the deleting of "friends" can say far more than you may like it to say. Giving way too  much power and control to others.

  e: I like Xanga because I spent $100 for a lifetime of it's use and can post unlimited pictures. I do not know whose "lifetime" I paid for, Xanga or mine but I want to protect my investment and stay with Xanga.

  f: I like Facebook because I can play online Scrabble in real time with a few chosen people who if they do not begin to let me win a game or 2 will lose this "friend" LOL

  g: Facebook is great to see pictures posted by my Xanga friends. The pictures are all easy to access and I do very much like to see how that Dori is growing and to wish a friend's dog Happy Birthday, sweet keeping in touch this way. A short and sweet way but not as nice as Xanga.

  #2:Here is our Oreck air purifier. It needs to be cleaned as you may be able to tell.

  

  We believe it is very nice. Some of you may recall the constant sore throat I had for well over a year. No reason for it was diagnosed. Possibly was GERDS. Maybe more likely there were  pollutants in the air. Shortly after buying this air purifier my constant sore throat stopped hurting. It also freshens the air so the house smells nice. The filters inside and the outside case have to be cleaned periodically. It has cut down on the dusting I have to do.....except for cleaning the purifier....

  #3:Lucy has exchanged her winter boots for her summer hiking boots

  

  The calories expended on these hour or 2 hour hikes are rapidly replaced by a ravishing appetite. Fritz will not allow Lucy to pack a lunch so she is tempted to try these mushrooms raw

  

  but she didn't. Note that now Lucy and Fritz carry plastic bags when on their hike. This bag was 1/2 filled at the end of the hike.

  #4: We try to visit the beaver pond often to check on the progress of the dams they make

  

  

  

  

  These beaver we never actually see must be, well, "busy as beavers" as they say.

  #5: The Canadian geese are back and nesting near a pond we pass.

  

  None too happy to see us either.

  #6 The hills are alive with green or is it music? I guess the sound of honking geese, the spring peepers, the birds, the splashing of frogs back into the water and the song of Bella's baying  is indeed music to us.

  

  

  The actual land owner of this hill brush cuts open areas through the trees and brush making ideal walking paths for us and areas for his sons' to 4 wheel  on.

  #7: Granted Fritz and Lucy are easily amused. Just how easily amused are we?

  

  Fritz grabbed a camera when we saw Bella keeping Polly in a tree for an hour or so.Note the thumb, nice touch!  Do you see Polly way up there? Bella is also easily amused as is Polly since they are actually good friends and sleep together at night.

  ~~~~~~~~~

  You see even when Little Lucy has nothing to say she doesn't remain silent. What you might consider mundane may be quite interesting to others as we like to peek into your little corners of the world. If nothing else posting this kept me amused for a while.
