Not sure I have my knickers in a sufficient bunch this morning to get the party started in this here journal so we'll see how this goes. Sometimes you just have to put your nose to the grindstone and get er done. Speaking of getting her done, we have a few plants that we purchased recently that need to be planted this weekend. I also need to buy a few more tomato plants. I think we'll not try to have a fence around the garden like in years past and hope that works out. The critters, numerous and unidentified as they are, may or may not come around depending on what kind of plants I put in the ground. Not sure I've figured out which are which. For example, my tomato plants have never been an attraction one way or another except for those insects that prefer to munch on the leaves but leave the fruit unmolested and that's just fine. The only other thing that I'm doing this year that differs from years past is that I grabbed a few shovelfuls of compost from the local landfill to add to the existing soil which looks, quite frankly, a bit depleted and perhaps light enough in color to suggest that it may no longer be as rich in nutrients as it once was. I'm also planting strawberries this year and haven't ever grown fruit so wouldn't that be nice if it worked out. We are definitely strawberry lovers so it would be good to grow our own instead of buying them all the time. And yes, I bought some netting to put over the strawberry plants so birds don't partake of our harvest leaving us in the lurch.
I'm not sure I understand the hullaballoo about banning Muslims. Trump mentioned somewhere along the campaign trail that he would place a temporary ban on Muslims from entering the U.S. until they figured out how to properly vet them. We can't have terrorists coming into our country masquerading as forlorn Syrians just looking for a safe haven. Have you seen the pictures in other countries where because of the politically correct nature of their political leaders their streets are being overrun, their woman and children raped and beaten, and their infrastructures over burdened in trying to accommodate displaced muslim populations from the Middle East? I agree wholeheartedly with the Trumpster and if I'm not mistaken I think we like minded folk are in the majority on this issue. I would tell globalists like Paul Ryan that this is who we are. We are nationalists who want to protect the very fibre of our country from infiltrating masses who don't respect our culture and our people and have little or no interest in assimilating. Trump often says, without borders we have no country. He's promised to build a wall on our southern border to keep out the Mexicans and South Americans and others who would take advantage of it's porous nature to gain entrance to our great country. Whether it be a wall or a more robust vetting process we must be vigilant in protecting our sovereignty lest we become another GB, Germany, or worse.
Maybe the open house at Hannaford's will be the opportunity that Evan has been looking for since wrapping up his last semester. Not that he has been looking particularly hard I would hasten to add. It's hard to know what motivates this boy other than his gaming activities. So the subject of his getting a job comes up from time to time but it is often a one sided conversation. Maybe it warrants a grunt or some other unintelligible utterance from him and then again that all depends on his state of mind at the time. I just think, or I should say, we just think, that his getting out of the house would be good for him and good for us. God only knows that he doesn't get out near enough and were it not for school I think he might prefer to be either in his room or sitting at the computer around the clock. I just don't know what's going through his head half the time. Aren't kids his age supposed to have a social life? I've heard the statistics about millennials living at home but this is ridiculous. He contributes zero to the household and I think he is incapable of participating or assisting as needed. I'd hate to think that we might need to rely on him one way or another in the future or even in the near term. Don't get me wrong. We're still looking at the bright side or the silver lining as it were so remain optimistic and hopeful. Isn't that what parents are supposed to do? I would be satisfied to see him get some form of exercise but that too seems more and more unlikely with the passing of time. Laziness begets laziness. Isn't that what they say? God help us. God help him.
