What did I do this week?

Well . . .

I finally finished my shrubbery; Kelly oversaw the final cleanup.

The foreman always has the cushy job!

A friend visited from Georgia; we went bowling!

Bowling with Nicknames
Obviously these are not our real names; can you guess who I was?

Oh, and here are the scores:

Sadness.

The trees fell.

More Sadness.

Even More Sadness.

Despite my post yesterday, I’m still proud to be an American.

I wore my traditional Old Navy Flag Tee:

Sing, O Muse

Brick Wall and Steps

Sing, O muse, of the rage of Achilles, son of Peleus,
that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.
~ Iliad
Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns
driven time and again off course, once he had plundered
the hallowed heights of Troy
~ Odyssey

Muses
My photographic Muse appears to be bricks.

Sunday Snapshots

As you [probably] know, this week I masqueraded as my alter ego:

Roger the ShrubberI started working every morning before sunrise;

111+ heat indexes are not to be trifled with!

My working hours looked remarkably the same:

I counted at least twelve trips to the solid waste recycling center.

The center is only open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

There was even one incredibly large azalea that turned out to be six separate plantings grown together.

However, the Master Shrubber has power to create . . . and to destroy:

mega azaleaWe’re probably going to burn the stumps out.

Being summer in the South. every afternoon brought rain showers.

The Bookshelf of Roy G. Biv

The Roy G. Biv challenge proved especially difficult given my colorblindness.

I flat-out annoyed K to no end asking “is this indigo?” and “is this violet?”

Most of the time they weren’t; but she helped my finally get it right.

I present to you the bookshelf of Roy G. Biv:

Roy G Biv Books

For the record, the Pretty Little Liars book is K’s.

Does it matter?

I guess not.

Sunday Snaphots

This week I stayed inside and tried to beat the 100+ heat index.

However, I did go out earlier in the week and take some photographs.

These were inspired by DM Shepherd’s Ghost Sign:

I did some tutoring at the school this week; tree removal has begun:

Smokey begged for the venison I cooked up:
