Or maybe I should say wacky, wacky me.
A couple years ago I gathered a large bag of black walnuts to age and I even went so far as to buy a special black wlanut cracker. Come to find out the black walnuts were empty, and I never got around to discarding the huge bag of them. This year sunlight and crows have combined to destroy the bag where it hangs and now there is a pile of black walnuts lying around on my deck silently menacing all traffic.
The younger, male, dumber extra dog is a chewer. So far all he has destroyed has been Truffle's toys -- she would eventually have destroyed them all herself, so he only accelerated a natural process.
So just now as I was procrastinating trying to figure out how to walk all three of these large enthusiastic animals I kept hearing a really sinister crunching sound.
Percy has been breaking the black walnuts. Truffle has been chwewing on the broken ones. My floor is covered in black walnust frass.
Oh, and these are empty too.
On another front, I spent five hours cleaning my classroom yesterday and four today and I have still a few more hours to do. Not all of that is mere cleaning. I was also getting the room ready for painting. I filled out a district work order. They better paint that sucker. The woodwork is all peely and I have to vaccuum up paint chips every single day. Yeah, the woodwork is not original to the room but I do not believe it is new enough to not have lead paint down there in the bottom layers.
On a related front, it looks like all the girls who were supposed to graduate this year are going to graduate, including the one who has been shunting around from one Catholic maternity home to another all year.
