Today’s was friggin warm. Like yesterday, there was sunny, clear blue skies. But the color appeared slightly white-washed for most of the summer and not the NORMAL deep shade of blue. Early morning birds came to bathe. The parakeets made lots of LOUD noises for the past few days.

Sunny, clear blue skies with lots of cool air. Cool breeze as hummingbird visited flowering, pink hibiscus plant and as small birds bathe in birdbath.

20090912-Much Cooler
Awoke to cloudy gray clouds with parallel, high cloud cloud formations with some fluffy but not puffy clouds of white. Some bluish tinge seen through my dark shades but clear blue skies in the background. Some sylphs among clouds of white with vertical columns or towers of wisp.
Noticed church grounds were wet with some slight puddles on recent uneven, black-colored asphalt paving in the front of the church.

Today’s sunny, sylph-filled skies & other high-altitude clouds. Been mostly warm & groggy humid, a first for awhile or maybe effects of niacin. Sweating sucks..

20090910-Sylphs Ahoy
Today’s clear, blue skies with cool breezes and not a lot of debris from the eucalyptus tree. However, some long-shaped, whale-like sylphs have appeared, along with some slight fluffy but not puff clouds of white.

20090909-Yard Working
After attending this morning’s mass, after a slight delay in conversation from Emmer and his crone-faced wife, Myrna who both ran to intercept Maw (and maybe Paw) on the unknown whereabouts of not sitting in the normal location up front in the pews, after eating breakfast in McDonald’s for an hours of idle conversation and after Paw’s deposit of a measly check from AT&T, I proceeded to do yard work for about two hours and stopped around 12:20pm:
- Blowing dust, eucalyptus leaves, twigs and barks from the ginger rocks and cement.
- Yanking old parts of the orchids, throwing away dead one, cutting dried leaves and plucking eucalyptus leaves from inside their containers.
- Plucking eucalyptus leaves from inside the containers of pink-colored geraniums hanging from the fruit trees.

20090905-Much Cooler
This morning gray clouds broke free to reveal sylphs and clear blue skies. After attending a healing mass of oil to the forehead from 11:00am to 12:30pm, after eating lunch for about one hour and while burning sweet, green peppers freshly harvested from our front and back yards upon the double burning in the backyard, the very cool wind blew strongly around 14:00pm. I was thinking about the eyes of dolphins, iguana, angel fish and parakeets and most importantly the potential REMEDY to my situation.
Alas, despite being financially abused by TPTB OVERSEAS for the past nine slong years, the blessing in disguise (prior to roasting Maw’s green peppers) was not only taking a couple of photos showing three baby doves sitting on the red fence near the CB created by J—/Sensei, another one sitting on the bird bath and unfortunately not the one resting under the cool shade of our short lemon tree, too, but seeing up close the same hummingbird tasting the nectar of a fully bloomed hibiscus tree shrub. It sports over a dozen or sort flowers!

20090904-Kicked Up
Yes. Today, the wind did kick up, blowing cool winds after the lunch time and while I used my almighty leaf blower to blow small twigs, shreds of bark and dried leaves, all from the eucalyptus tree. Damn you God-nature!
The weather was wonderfully cool, too! I’ve been `thinking` about the dolphins in The Cove of Taiji, Japan. Two days ago and while drifting off to my usual mid-afternoon nap, I’ve visualized nets then again I sensed a big dolphin being hugged but really cradled.
I hope the Japanese government would HELP your dolphins and me after helping to bail out your boys and pals.

20090904-Watching You
I’m keeping my eyeballs peeled wide open for the Japanese and how some Japanese citizens are not aware of dolphins being killed for meat. Some youths claim they do not eat dolphin meat. I wonder if dolphin tastes like chicken.
How much more mindless Japanese animation material could be made to distract the next generation over the reality of what is going on in parts of the world, like the Cove in Taiji, Japan? How about a nice, profitable tourist spot to save dolphins and give fishermen new jobs, like taking care of their prized assets instead of killing for foodstuff?
I wonder if people are aware of the different life forms, like dolphins, and if their VERY presence is merely a small test to observe how far along the human species (with opposable thumbs) have come to respect the planet and its inhabitants.

20090903-Big Bugs
This morning, I saw a couple of big flying bugs.
One was the biggest, fattest bumblebee. It was hovering around the little yellow flowers with orange center of our three potted bitter melon vines. This big beauty was SO heavy that it tried to land on one of the flowers, missing it once but landing on it safely on the second try, bringing the small vine pointed straight downward to the ground from the weight of this little fellow.
The second was a flying scarab-like beetle! This was about 1.5 inches in length. While I was trying to hand some laundry out to dry on our white-colored clothes line, I caught eye of it as it was hovering around the frayed ends of the clothes line attached to the black-colored iron bar of Paw’s bedroom window outside.
I unsuccessfully took two blurry photo of this event and messed up one movie as it hovered at eye level, coming towards me as I blew short bursts of air in its direction, not knowing for sure if it was going to bite me or land or me or what.
