UPON further review - I guess Omar is a very popular name . It ranks 340 out of the top 1250 names. Did you know you can spell Omar . . .2 ways? (Omarr).

As we speak (well . . .sort of) their is a plane flying overhead spraying Bacillus thuringiensis, Acephate or Carbaryl to kill Gypsy Moths. This reminded me of the good ol' days when I was a kid and the DDT fogger truck would come by killing mosquitoes and all the kids on the block would run behind the truck in the fog. It was great fun and now explains a few things!
Now when I walk to get coffee I'll have Gypsy Moth larva dropping onto my head as I walk. I'll take a good look at my pillow tomorrow morning.

It REALLY feels good to set my ass in a chair for 8 hours! This weekend was rather tough on the old body with planting. Every spring we work on another part of the yard landscaping and this past weekend was "The Big Plant" weekend. The big surprise was the Goldflame Honeysuckle which was way bigger then I thought. This is a rather woody plant isn't it! I had to rethink how and where I was going to put this beast.
Also the Red Chokeberrys were fun with their 30 pound root balls. Nice that we got FOUR of them! Then I planted some of DJs gradma's (the high priestess of the Daylillie foundation in Wisconsin) daylillies. Josh rescued a bunch from our old house in Madison. These had not been separated for maybe 20 years so the clumps were rather mammoth and I felt like Norman Bates hacking away at the giant cluster of Daylillies trying to separate them. "I just go a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Shut up! Shut up! I'll carry you, mother."

OH - my mom. All the tests came out good. Blood is flowing to the right spots and there is no significant problems. She is doing better and better every time I talk to her even though she does not think she is but, she is around herself much more then I am so she does not see how she is getting better.
---------------------------------------------------
I hope everyone got their yards mowed because this week is not going to allow you to mow. Later tonight and tomorrow we should get a lot of rain. Clear Wednesday and then a copy cat storm for Thursday and Friday. NEXT week will be a better week.

WOW - I got a lot of images lately - feast or famine. I feel guilty if I don't have something good at least once a week and I was getting stressed with my lack of goodness lately. BUT - I think I have the next few weeks covered now.
This first one is another fractal image. I don't have many of these (only 3 actually). It's one of those "wow that's neat" things but in reality this process comes up with a lot of garbage most of the time.
This blows up great for a background for you computer.
Then as I was driving back to Madison with Elweed for Saturday planting the storms were passing over us and the sky was outstanding. Took like two hours to get from Sun Prairie to Columbus.
I have a few of these so I'll just post a couple today and save some for later in the week. The problem I'm having is that on one hand I want to make them a panorama but by doing that I don't get all the clouds!
The last image if my Georgia Blue OR as Elweed calls it, Veronica Peduncularis. 
And the Panorama.
I guess all the anti-techno people are all a little crazy lately. If you did not hear about the stock market on Thursday we almost had a Three Mile Island meltdown as the DOW dropped 1000 points in like 2 minutes.
The catalyst was that some guy that previously had a job, instead of selling like 10 Million Dollars in stocks accidentally typed a "B" instead of an "M". The computer programs saw BILLION and the auto sells took over instantaneously. Then all the other market computers starter talking to each other and THEY started to sell. The computers were out of control and acting on their own!
It was like a financial Battle Star Galactica and the Cylons were the nations financial computers. The experts STILL do not know what happened.
We're all doomed!
Nuff said for a Monday
Have a SWEET day.
Rod
I like Omar Epps on House!
