I need to locate a copy of this magazine.

 

 

So, I've had this idea rattling around in my head for a while to copy this Shel Silverstein poem onto my  trash can. It came out ok. I just did it with a Sharpie and didn't draw any guidlines like I should have but sometimes I do things in haste. It is from  Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out. I changed two lines , one because I messed up the other as an homage to Doctor Who.

 

 

 

 

WAY TOO MUCH FUN AT WORK.

Sunday evening I was standing and talking to my neighbor Syb in her driveway. I must have been standing right on top of an ant-hill because I felt a tiny pain in my toe and looked down to see my feet sprinkled with sesame seed sized  brown ants. I kicked off my sandals and ran and smacked  at my feet and ankles and spun around and slapped at them and brushed at them till I was free of the little demons.
     Later that night I did glance at my toes from time to time to see if any swelling would result from my formic acid injection administered by that posse of ant attackers , but I was fine. No panic.

Hey, has there ever been an ant based super hero, like Spiderman?(must be) Maybe I could be Antwoman or as Dave suggested Antlinda.  I would possess Ant powers: able to lift 100 times my own weight while standing upside down.I would be super diligent and I guess I would solve the world's hunger crisis with my  incredible farming abilities I learned from my Uncle Milton.

  Whenever my energy gets low all I would have to do is go stand on another ant hill and let the ants bite my toes to re-charge.

OPOSSUM IN THE HANDMAIDEN

Edison Estate

I really loved the Edison estate on the caloosahatchi river in Ft.Myers. The place had a 1920's Great Gatsby luxury feel to it. We learned the Thomas Edison didn't just invent light bulbs and gadgets he also did extensive botanical research. Edison planted Royal palm trees all allong McGreggor Blvd in 1910 and they are a beautiful site today. I especially loved the Banyan tree that is about 90 years old (its parent back in India is 1000 years old) one tree looks like an entire forest.

ISLAND HOPPING

Just returned from Florida. We went island hopping from Sanibel to Captiva to Lovers Key. It is of course beautiful there. We stayed with my aunt and uncle in Ft.Myers and it is lovely there. The beaches were not very crowded except for Ft. Myers beach.We went to Bunche Beach at Sunset to try and see the "green Flash" that is rumored to be visible just as the sun sets over the water. We didn't see it.
