snow in april.
cold cold cold!
all of my plans to work out side have been stomped on by mother nature.
the cold rain started on tuesday,
buy wednesday it was slushy rain,
thurday snow appeared,
today is friday and it's still snowing lightly.
this time of year all of the gardeners start asking the age old question -
have you planted yet?
i would be planting some cold weather crops if i was ready in the yard already....
but the snow has stopped my outdoor activities for now.
this makes me more than ever want to put in a sprouting/growing area so i can start seeds in feburary and have my own plants out on mothers day.
the garage is going to be the cheese storage and growning room along with all the other activies i want to do out there.
because of the snow and cold i went thrifting with dad as our afternoon activity.
the thrift stores here are getting pricey!
half of the good thirft stores are closing and moving out of denver into aurora,
or the land is being bought by flipping wal-mart to put up yet another one of the super mega crap complexes!
but i did hit fifty percent off day at the arc on colfax and sheridan.
we went down to the arc on alameda and fed.
this arc at one time i loved to go to but as of now i just get icky vibes from the place (i am waiting for the building to tell me to get out).
so dad and i are having a fine time, dad found me a lovely apple peeler/corer for two dollars.... and then i ventured over to the kitchen electrical crap and i found a nice coffee grinder for three dollars! super!
i hate my grinder it's top never comes off easily anymore and this one is super nice!
then dad and i look around a little more and we start to go to the check out when a man approaches me
he said that he was going to buy the grinder but he'd put it down for a minute -
what?
and he put it down and i picked it up-
does the words tuff tittys mean anything?
is this not bad form?
if you aren't holding on to a desired item and you place on a shelf with similar items is this item then up for grabs and finder keepers looser weeper?
i gave the looser the grinder. i hate that arc!
