Juxtaposition
After I picked this bit of rhubarb, I thought it
neat to set it next to some bright yellow
dandelions just for grins.

Well, I was obviously outside with the camera at some point today (hence the picture). It was a relatively cool day today, so it was surprising that I spent as much time outside as I did. In fact, I closed all but one window in the house because it was downright chilly until midday. It’s supposed to warm up here in the next few days to more like average temperatures (low 70s), rather than the high of about 65 that we had today. It makes a difference. Currently says it’s 46 outside; that’s cool. Literally.

Anyway, supper tonight was once again the grilled hamburger and asparagus thing. We didn’t do the baked beans tonight, but it was good to have the grill running a second night in a row. And asparagus is always good. Lord knows we have enough of it right now.

I didn’t pick asparagus today at all. I figure I’ll do that again tomorrow. Of my own personal stockpile (not including the stuff I’ve given away), the last two nights have reduced the stock by about half. So there’s still plenty always ready to go in the fridge.

Today was the only day this week where Kirstin and I get to hang out by ourselves. Next week, however, seems to be a different story. I’ll be at home with her three consecutive days. That’s alright, seeing as how we do pretty well together. She’s a good baby, so that makes things a little easier to handle.

Anyway, the yawns are starting to come more frequently now, so I’m heading for bed. As a random ending thought here tonight, I pose the observation that I’ve recently started receiving those ‘wealthy Nigerian needs your bank account information so (s)he can send your share of $X Million for helping him/her through this trouble time’ emails again. I hadn’t received one of those for what seemed to be several years. In the last two weeks, I’ve probably noticed at least a dozen or two of them.

What’s sad about this is that there must still be people that fall for this scheme. Of course, it’s been so long since it was so highly prevalent that perhaps users forgot about it (or they’re targeting a new generation of users). Who knows. But you’d think it’d be obvious. After all, if it sounds too good to be true… I’m not sure anyone would turn down $X Million for ‘nothing’…but there’s ALWAYS a catch to these things.

Until next time…
