AIR SHOW

The air show is coming this weekend to McGuire Air Force Base!!!!

My son is jumping up and down in excitement...... as for me..... since our house is on the flight plan for the base..... not so much

We have planes flying over 24/7. It's kinda nice to look outside and see all the bi-plane's and Jets flying over..... but the noise is a bit annoying..... Just a bit, not really too bad...... what annoys me most is that Matt runs across the house, and outside, slamming the screen door.... every time one comes over!!!! GIGGLE

Tomorrow I'll drop him off at the show, and pick him up later...... It's only about a 1/2 hour ride, so it's not bad, and he'll be gone for almost 8 hours. Drinking beer, and eating, and watching plane's!

update on garden

Some new pictures of the garden. The new growth bamboo is going nuts!!! It's twice the size of the old bamboo.... and while lots of work in the spring, preventing the spread of it all over the yard, well worth it in the end.

This is the bamboo that I got shipped direct from china, very rare plant, actually two plants... the small one is black bamboo, also from china. Who knew that they would love NJ!!!

Also the witch's broom in FULL bloom. I'm so glad I got the pink..... even though it's more deep pink and yellow edges.... the all yellow is pretty also, but the pink is the BEST!!

And a picture of the "stone crab" I picked up at home depot. He fits in nice.

And a full picture of the cauldron with the MYSTERY iris's!!!!! All purple, but you know I'm kinda liking it. The rosemary and lavender around the base of it has quadrupled in size since I planted them. They love the sun and heat, and dry conditions. And the pansy's are doing good, still blooming strong!!!

(Sarcasm intended!!!!)

Wanna hear something funny?

I went on the IRS web site, to check where my "boosting the economy" check is.... since my social security number makes me one of the first people to get the check, and it hadn't come yet, so I figured I would check.

I punched in my numbers..... and this is the message I got....

"Your income wasn't enough to qualify you for this rebate"

In other words, I made too little, and payed in to little tax's this year to get the extra check!!!


WHAT THE FLYING FUCK!!!!!!


So the check is only for middle class, all of us retired people don't qualify for the check, unless we get enough retirment annuity money!!!!!


And to top it all off..... my annuity is FEDERAL!!!! The same one the PRESIDENT GETS!!!!! But, it so fucking SMALL, I don't qualifiy for and extra check this year???????

Kinda ironic, don't you think. That's how the federal goverment takes care of it's own. Death benifits are so low, that we are well below the poverty level, so that's makes us not good enough for the president to give us extra money's!

FUCK YOU MR. PRESIDENT!!!!!!!

New Readers

I also wanted to point out, since I've gotten a lot of comments on the picture's on my site. To get them for yourself.

Answer to a question about gooseberry's

About the gooseberry plants.... I don't know the name of the nursery,

but it's off of how's lane.

You go over that bridge on how's lane, between somerset and new Brunswick,

and it's a huge nursery UNDER the bridge. I hope that helped. It's been there for years, and years, and I never got the name before.

But any nursery in NJ that carries fruit bush's should carry them also.

Shit!

I kept hoping, but now all hope is gone! As you can see it is an Iris in my cauldron, and a purple one at that!!!!! At least it's all purple and not those purple and brown ones.

What the goddess wants, she gets!

Witch's Broom

This is Witch's Broom, or Scottish Heather. It differs from other heather's you may find, in a few ways....

It's tall, this plant if in the ground would be almost 5 feet high,

the flowers aren't simple, as you can see it's a mix of two colors, red and yellow


and the fragrance is a mix of Hyacinth and rose's ..... very hard to describe!

So don't be fooled asking for regular heather, that only grows about 12 inches, always ask for Witch's Broom.

I forgot!!!!!

You know, winters here at the shore lull you into complacency. You forget about summer, and enjoy the good stuff of winter.....


Like being able to go anywhere on the highway you want to, to any store's, anywhere......


Then summer hits, and your "OH FUCK"!! I FORGOT THE TRAFFIC!!!!


Shit, shit, shit, I can't get to my store down closer to shore on the weekends
I can't go ANYWHERE past the on ramp for the parkway and route 9


I'm STUCK ALL WEEKEND here up HERE because of the traffic!


Now that wouldn't be bad, but my health food store is down by the bridge..... so to get there for my bread or ANYTHING, I have to wait till the week day..... and this week, because of the holiday, I can't even think of going there till like.... Wednesday!!!!


I LOVE the summer......... but BENNIES PLEASE GO HOME!!!!!!!!


I know the holiday weekend will be over soon, and I know that the town survives by the summer "bennies" buying stuff, and going to the beach.

And during the winter, you have to put up with the 90 year old women going 20 miles per hour in a 50 mile per hours highway....... but then, summer is pretty good, because the old people stay home!


But here are some rules for "Bennies"


1. Speeding doesn't get you there any sooner, trust me, shore traffic don't speed

up much until the winter. Your not the only people on the road!!!!

2. You are NOT gods gift to the locals.... try to be polite

3. DO NOT beep at old people on the highway.... scaring them is

dangerous!!

4. New York people.. TONE IT DOWN! Your not home, where the cursing, and

screaming is acceptable. You CAN talk on your cell phone

without SCREAMING!!!

(I'll tell you a story, I was crabbing on the Pier one morning last summer... communing with nature, the water, the seagulls, the wonderful quiet mummer of voices close by crabbing with me.... then the NEW YORKER showed up... and sat on the dock SCREAMING his conversation into the cell phone plastered to his ear!! Let me tell you, all of us locals sat there staring at him, and wondering is his fat ass would float if we pushed him and his cell phone into the water!!!!!)

5. WE live here all year round, the town doesn't close in the winter, we don't go


away, and WE WILL remember your dumb ass remarks about us!

6. Did you look in the mirror AFTER you put on that bathing


suit??? Try doing that!

Try to remember this is OUR HOME! Try treating us like your the guests instead of the owners!!!!

Indiana Jones

Went to see it this afternoon, and I'm not going to spoil it...... but he's just as good as ever!!!!! Very good movie!!!!!

Run!!!! The caterpillers are comming!!!!!

I went out side this morning and found both my blueberry bush's COVERED with baby caterpillars!!!!!! Oh YUCK!!!!!


So I ran inside and put together a old home remedy for them.... and no, it's not take a drink, and ignore them......


It's cooking oil, mixed with dish washing liquid, and water.......... and I SPRAYED THE SHIT OUT OF THOSE TINY MENACES!!!!!


LEAVE MY BLUEBERRY'S ALONE!!!!!! GIGGLE


I have no idea if it's going to kill them, it's supposed to..... cross your fingers!!!!!!

UPDATE!!!! It worked, the little buggers are gone!!!! Vanished!!! YIPPPPPPPIE
