Back Porch Randomness

I’m sitting on our back porch. Multiple birds are singing competing tunes. Disharmony has never been so lovely. I just finished a nice dinner of grilled chicken, lentils, yellow bell peppers, and guacamole. Heather is painting. The boys have left a bunch of smashed hickory nuts on the concrete. They used my hammer. This is the best time of the year to sit outside in Oklahoma. My neighbor just mowed his lawn. It’s greener and has less weeds than mine. We’ve started a compost pile in the back corner of our yard. It hasn’t produced any dirt yet, but it’s only been two days. Heather says I should be more patient. Our cat is catting around the neighborhood. Now she’s back. I just read what I’ve written to Heather. She doesn’t think “disharmony” is a word. I disagree and so does google.

  1. John says you’re full of crap…he doesn’t believe you own a hammer.

  2. Ron Heflin says:

    The hammer belongs to Heather.

  3. Rusty–thanks for reading my post to John. Be sure and read this to him as well. Once you’ve interpreted his grunts with their limited tonalities, please pass his response on to me.

    Ron–the furniture scattered throughout my house didn’t make itself.

  4. Wade makes furniture with a hammer? I don’t think nailing together a couple of pallets constitutes a dining room set.

  5. John, I think you’re being a little ethnocentric. You can’t judge people from Oklahoma by our standards in Washington. I think it should be thought of as creative and earth friendly to re-use pallets, old wire spools and use old living room furniture as lawn furniture. I’ve heard they are incorporating some of those features in the new arena for the Sonics in fact.

    BTW, I was planning on responding to your favorite SI covers post, but had a difficult time finding any good Sonic, Mariners or Seahawks on the cover of SI…I think it’s another case of the media east coast bias. They didn’t have one cover with Jay Beuhner, Jim McIlvaine or Dave Kreig.

  6. Rusty- You’re probably right. My apologies Wade. Now was it Larry’s shorts that made that SI cover your favorite?

  7. I like to say google knows all. If in doubt google it!

  8. He has weeds?
