Watermelon watermelon

It's getting that time of year again for the watermelon ta come on out and join every southern table in the land. The rain storms still hittin us pretty hard. The grass is love'in it. Our neighbor barrowed our lawn mower just today. He mows our grass as well for the use of it. Thank you Mr. James! Mike's usually to tired and sleepy from a long nights work. And that's all I have ta say bout that.

And as the story goes,and ya'll know what I'm talkin bout,Things have been all quiet on the P.O. front for now. That was quite the strangeness goin on. We still haven't figured what that was all about. But we guess we'll never know what was goin on in the dudes head at the time. Probably not worth knowin if the truth be told. Another one of A.K.'s stupid pranks. Her chops got busted on that one. Broken bitch face all around. I truely guess she lost a few gray hairs on that one. Let's all dig up the dead poodle in the back yard! LOL! Oh! I forgot! It's sittin right next to her.

Let's not forget Mothers day is this Sunday. Ya'll all rush down to WFM for one of Mike's famous cakes. He's been told he's way to fabulous on them. Mike always replies he's just sprinklin the fairy dust. Ms. T. needs ta take a frickin hike. Take yourself back to your miserable Atlanta where the hot air never stops. Along with A.K. mind ya. Carpet munch on each other.

April showers bring May flowers

April showers bring May flowers! A sock howdy handshake here at the beginnin of May! It has been rainin for several days now. It's a wet Nashville I must say! Guitars are soggy! If it weren't for cowboy hats and snake skin boots,we'd be in a heep a trouble. But....as the story goes.....alls well in Nashville. Country music sangers are still singin for their supper.

On the brown work sock side of thangs,we all got a hole that needs darnin! Ain't that always the way with a sock? Some got holes in their lives and keep movin on.

The day remains overcast with lots more rain on its way. A nice hot cup of coffee ta start the day off with. Mike took a brisk walk in the park yesterday afternoon. The pounds just fallin off him. I dare say he's lookin for love. Tryin ta get himself lookin sexy and all. he has plans of gettin out and about this summer to find it. I have to tell him that he better not forget about me if he does find the one. True loves first kiss is suppose ta be the most powerful thing there is. Thats the way they tell it in stories anyway. Its not something that can be faked or forced upon someone no matter how may times the A.K. bitch tries to throw folks in your path. The last one was a dosey! She does fit the bill of the evil stepmother queen. What a poison apple that one was she sent this last time. Nice try,but I saw through it first off. If it were real,after knowing each other for a year and a half,would have been datin on the outside of the job. So that right there was the first clue. Secondly,if he were really in love,the job blockin would not have stopped someone truely in love. They would have risk everything to let the other subject know of their affections. True love is a powerful thing that can not be faked! You can see it in their eyes. So....(take a sip of my coffee) We all know the evil queen gets hers in the end. And what an explosin it will be. Life holds many surprises. Poison apples can even come from the fairy princess. Paint a Nissan black and see what I mean.

Have a great day! Bubba

Live from Nashville

Nothin like an early mornin blog! Four o'clock in the mornin to be exact! Mike and I love the grave yard shift! On the weather side of things,they are callin for thunderstorms for a few days. It was suppose to show up tonight,but no white plastic cigar tip. It has finally gotten warm. We are thinkin it's here to stay now. The lows have come into the 60's at night. Time ta get our tomato plants in the ground for summer goodness! Nothin can compete with home grown tomatos. The free Christmas cactus finally got repotted. It was so root bound,the roots itself looked like the real pot it was in. Not good in the plant world. Could have choked itself out. But all is ok now. It has taken up residence on the patio for the summer. Not in direct sunlight mind you. They can't handle that much light. Sits in the shade for the most part. We just have gotten a cutting of a year round cactus. Cut one of the teardrops off and planted it in our yard. The teardrop is as big as a grapefriut. So we're excited bout that! I got it in the ground this very evenin. Just in time for all the rain that is suppose to be headed this way. We'll keep an eye out to see if it really shows up.

A brisk walk in the park this afternoon as Mike is still tryin ta get his weight off. He's doin really good thus far. Has lost 120 lbs.! Only took him nine months ta do so. I guess bein 50 really agrees with him. Fabulously 50! He says his life has only just begun. What a shame he was sick for his birthday weekend! Took five days off to celebrate and was in bed with a bad cold the entire time. They say everything happens for a reason. I guess the universe has other plans for him. I'll keep ya posted just in case it does. Sometimes he does ramble on bout things that happened over his life. But he's 50 right? I stop him and tell him,dude!,I was there remember?

I was so sorry ta hear Bea Arthur passed away! Wow....only two Golden Girls left. How sad is that? Our dear sweet Bea was 86 at her passin. She had cancer. Mak'em laugh in heaven and rest in peace. We will always love you. Thank you for bein a friend. You will always live on in the re-runs. The Sock Drawer will truely miss her.

We got the grass mowed today. The front and the back. Only takes a few mintues this bein a town house. The yards are very small. Well...I say grass. Our yard really is nothin but weeds really. After ya cut it and if ya stand back and squint your eyes,it looks like it could be grass. What do ya expect for a rental. Not our problem. Packin up and movin on.

I have a pair of Robin Red Breast livin on our patio. They have built a nest on top of our electric box. I was gonna take it down,but there are baby birds inside. Even I'm not that mean. So for now,the nest stays. I guess ya could say thats goin green in a way. Savin wildlife. And so I did.

I guess that bout covers The Sock Drawer news for now! Have a great week! Bubba

Thursdays taste of life

Good afternoon Thursday Possums! And welcome to The Sock Drawer! Socks are all washed,dried,fluffed and folded this afternoon. Nothing like sunshine dried socks on the clothes line! My human,Mike, has risen from the dead of sleep and he and I are sippin our coffee. He's on over night shifts for a while. He's always been a night owl.

The sun is shinin and it's warm today. We are still gettin down into the 40's at night. Had many thunderstorms this year. The weather has just been crazy this year. Hope you've enjoyed the weather channel blog.

Mike's cold is still hangin on even 8 days later. It just won't let go. He's tryin ta feel better. It's been some kind of nasty cold. We can send folks to the space station,up and down in a shuttle,but we can't cure the common cold. We can send machines ta Mars,but we can't cure the common cold. We can split atoms and create serious energy,but we can't cure the common cold. We have weapons of mass destruction,but can't cure the common cold. With all this technology,ya think we would have conquered the common cold by now. Not so much Possums. My human is livin proof of that. Sneezey,drippy,coughin and I don't know what all. Thank the good Lord I'm a Sock Monkey and can't catch the human condition. Poly-fil has it's good moments. It just goes ta show ya'll we aren't as advanced as we think we are. So we bundle up and sip hot chicken soup in hopes it will help.

Here's ta Thursday! Bubba

8 ball

Here's to the eight ball enthusiest. Take a walk in the park! Bubba

Chicks

Since I missed the Easter blog,I'll go ahead and show ya'll the treats Mike made for the holiday. Cupcakes in the shape of chickens. They were very popular.
Here it is Monday afternoon and the weather is great. Warm in the 70's. The rain has come and gone. Mike's cold is tryin ta get better.
We're sittin here watchin Crank Yankers this afternoon. An adult puppet show. Pretty funny.

The Sock Monkey news of the day is....Mike has Sock Monkeys ta make for various friends. Three of his artistic friends are getting one each and there is no face features as of yet. They have to take them and make their faces themselves. Make it their own if ya will. Two Sock Monkeys have trips ta go on. One is goin ta Georgia and one is headed to Texas. Lots of Sock Monkey cheer ta spread around these days.

That's it for Monday afternoon. Bubba
