I'm really forgetful when it comes to TV. I even forgot to watch House, last night, and it was also the season finale - it's typically the only show I watch.<BR/><BR/>Our tomatoes aren't producing at all, this year. It's a weird year for tomatoes!

They still sell them in shops - my best mate once bought a heap of them to extract the princess toys they had in them.

Inside the capsule is a toy and some of them are quite clever. I'll have to take a photo.

Wow. ...Kookie,<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize Jordin is only 17! Wow. She's so poised and, yes, a beautiful young lady. I can't even begin to imagine the stress the Idol contestants go through. I sure wouldn't do it!!!<BR/><BR/>The thing I remember enjoying about the end of school was the loads of papers they sent home, but that must be an elementary-school memory because I remember I was always thrilled to get my artwork. I never did take an art class after elementary. <BR/><BR/>Tara,<BR/><BR/>Thanks. The pear trees are actually quite ugly - although I can't fathom removing them, since they've become large enough to provide a bit of shade for the cars - and I don't recall a smell, even when they bloom. I wonder if it's just because that's a heavy pollen season and I'm too busy sneezing to notice. LOL<BR/><BR/>I don't think I'll ever be a big Idol fan; we really tuned in to keep an eye out for House. We watch so little TV, around here, that we all seem to forget to tune in. And, wouldn't you know, there was no House episode. Sigh.<BR/><BR/>Melanie,<BR/><BR/>It's getting close to the nineties (fahrenheit), so I'll pass on the Kinder Eggs till a cool month, but thank you for offering!<BR/><BR/>I don't remember Melinda. I tuned in a little, but I'm really impatient with American Idol; I like to watch the singing and that's about it. Last season, I kept watching from about the point that they were down to 5 - mostly because I liked Taylor and I loved that Black Horse and a Cherry Tree song that Katherine sang, but even then I could only stand watching for a short time.<BR/><BR/>Carrie,<BR/><BR/>Sunshine's not doing well, unfortunately. The vet x-rayed her and she has a 2-3 cm. lesion in her chest cavity. Damn. He's keeping her for the night and then I'll be dosing her with a combination of antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and prayer. She's a very sick kitty, but he said the protocol is the same whether it's a cyst, infection or a tumor so finding out the character of the lesion is not really necessary. Worst words: "It could go either way." I don't feel very much like doing a Wahoo post, today.<BR/><BR/>The tryouts of AI are unbearable, aren't they? Yeah, hard to believe so many people are so deluded about their ability. I watched Carrie Underwood's tryout on YouTube, just a couple of weeks ago, and I thought it was really cute when she said, "I get to fly on a plane!" <BR/><BR/>Thanks. I wish I could have gotten a bit closer to the hawks; they always take my breath away and it's unusual to see two of them flying together. Since I posted, I've been wondering what I did with that stuffed puppy. I'll have to ask my mother. He had a cute name and I can't remember that, either. I feel really old. LOL Funny that you had a stuffed snake, too!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-89537202938170631752007-05-23T14:47:00.000-05:002007-05-23T14:47:00.000-05:00Uh oh.

Occasionally I listen to the hideous tryouts with delusional people (which is fun but a bit disheartening - people are that oblivious?) and the finalists singing. <BR/><BR/>Great bird pix! I love your stuffed animals (and kitty). I had a purple (stuffed) snake as a kid.

She knows she's good, and the love from the crowd probably just got to her. She's so lovely.<BR/><BR/>Is there anything better than the last day of school? I just loved that whole 'cleaning out my locker, saying goodbye to my favorite teachers, talking about summer plans,' feeling of utter freedom. I kind of miss that. Now summertime, is just more of the same...only hotter and more humid. :(kookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994570192941993135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-55740084932853748012007-05-23T11:44:00.000-05:002007-05-23T11:44:00.000-05:00Nik,Thanks.

But, I was excited when that fellow flew over my head. He's actually a great blue heron. I don't know if he was down in the creek and I couldn't see him or what, but it was really unexpected! <BR/><BR/>Yep, we love kinder eggs! It's getting a little hot, so maybe I'll take you up on that in the fall, when they're not likely to melt in the mailbox. That would be great, thanks for offering. We have a lot of fun opening them.<BR/><BR/>Nancy,<BR/><BR/>Thanks. We haven't had much luck with the pears - maybe they'll be worth eating, this year.<BR/><BR/>No, I can't imagine what it must be like to be on stage, anyway, but to do so and know how well you're doing - that must have been awesome. She was getting a lot of what you could call "positive feedback" from the audience, wasn't she?<BR/><BR/>I wondered the same thing about Chris - whether his marriage has survived. He seems like quite an egomaniac to me; I didn't like him when I saw him in the last portion of Idol and I like his music but can't talk myself into buying the album.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-90252249323323237032007-05-23T06:05:00.000-05:002007-05-23T06:05:00.000-05:00Love the pear picture.Can you imagine being Jordin...Love the pear picture.<BR/><BR/>Can you imagine being Jordin in front of all those people?
