Gray and rainy

Quintessential Delaware: gray, rainy, and unseasonable. It is mid May and the high today is predicted to be 50. And rain. Tomorrow's prediction is 54 and showers. Is there a difference between rain and showers? I thought showers were just rain inside your bathroom involving shampoo and soap.

Kent and I were out last night for a stroll around the local mall. Must more upscale that it was when my ilk were of mall-rat age. Fact I learned at the mall: Bose has more outlets in the Philadelphia Airport than they do in my entire state. This astonishes me.

Lesson learned from a day at my parents: there is a tv station that has fake court cases on all day. Again, astonishment.

Stu has texted asking mysterious questions like should he use a flame thrower to get rid of Apache Plume. (see rattlesnake post below.) Not sure what I will return home to...

New home for the rattley snake

Some rattlers just can't take a hint.

This guy had been hanging out for a couple of weeks. He liked annoying places, like where I get off my bike to go into the garage, and by the clothesline. Stu had moved him at least twice, so today, when he started rattling at us from the Apache plume by the driveway, it was time to find a new home for him.


He did not agree. As he slithered further into the Apache plume maze, Stu and Jake trimmed the bush from above, hanging from the desert willow. They discovered a quite large midden in the Apache plume (grocery store for the rattler), but it also also got rather rearranged in desperately seeking the rattler. In the end, the rattler ended up buckled into the back seat of the car in a old bucket for a trip to another canyon where he should be able to live a quieter life. Good fun.

I was supposed to be in Delaware, but a 2 am call from American Airlines told me that Dallas weather stunk and how would I like to go through Chicago tomorrow? So Chicago it is. After a nice dinner tonight with the family.

Colorful eggs.

Eggs from the farmer's market. Each color typically comes from a different type of chicken. These are just so cool!
