Straggly bits all over the place that needed to be staked. But the good news is: flowers & fruit!

And therein you found what astonished me...all though in fairness it was yesterday. I became predictable. Egads! I arose early as usual and puttered around a bit before the day got going. Then...and I can't create this one for anything...the telephone rang and I ignored it.
I checked the b.p. and it was holding steady. It was Saturday so I lazed around doing next to nothing (two doors over from anything and a full mile from every-other-thing). At 8:33-P.M. I returned the phone call to the person who had left three messages...predictable, since this is how I always handle him. Predictable right down to the time of day that I make that call.
By early today (when I awoke), I had forgotten which teams were opposing each other in the football games this afternoon...predictable. I still despised the Yankees management for bringing that scuzball Pettitte back (have they forgotten the Cleveland game already?)...predictable (I never liked Pettitte). I drank my coffee from the cup, holding the cup in my left hand...predictable. I headed to the bath for the morning shower...predictable. After that I gassed up the computer (yes, mine is powered by a tank of Sinclair) and read the NY Times...noticed that Troy Smith had won the Heisman...predictable. I had figured he would, and good for him that he did; but, predictable...they seem to do this award every year at this time. I checked for e-mails...predictable....
I must be getting old if I am becoming predictable...better do something about that. So, this morning I put the left sock on first...Hah! Now I am unpredictable again.
What has surprised me most this morning is the level of eerie quiet...not even the slightest sound of traffic wafting over the rooftop from the street.
Little does she know I snuck in and replaced her poorly tomatoe with a good one from "up the country".

You spell like a president.

During the dark time of the year I wish that all surprises were pleasant.
May your entire summer be like the stealth tomato plant.
How is the Noddy24 rose?
) is proving surprisingly resilient. She's standing up well, considering the less than encouraging weather conditions. Mind you, I have taken good care! Is today an "odds" (street number) day. That's when my side of the street is allowed to water. (Restrictions, understandably.) Yes, because yesterday my plants (in 42 + C conditions! ) took quite a beating, but I wasn't able to water them.

Whichever, I take full credit! 
So .... any surprises or astonishments in your life today?
Big or small, it doesn't matter.
Tell!
... I haven't had much appetite lately, Haven't eaten much for about ten days. I was sitting around not doing much and then I noticed something unfamiliar. Hunger. That surprised me. I ate.
Running errands today, three separate cars stopped to allow me to turn on the main road from three separate side streets. We have no snow, but courteous drivers are much more welcome in December.
