They are junkies, friend of the family was tired of them stealing his gas, filled his can with an sugary sweet mix, up the street his neighbors kids hood is open and the punk is workin on his truck, debt repaid, now he knows his thief. It's sad that stuff that has been sitting 30 years undisturbed is disappearing and you can do nothing, unless you want to sit and guard it, need some bear traps.

Is it possible, by the sound of it, to get within four city blocks of Marks house without combat armor?
So why does he live there?
*Yep, you got me confused.

No, it's out at the farm, the thieves pretty much looting peoples property.
Dad puts out a garden every year at my great grand parents property, people that live in the area are stealing stuff from the houses all around, especially those where no one lives, they break in and take stuff. No one has lived in the house for 30 years, my uncle maintained the property, keeps equipment there, and has occasionally raised animals in the field, so much for the country living leaving doors unlocked.

Well, the apricot and peach trees have blossomed and the blooms are all but gone. The cherry trees are showing signs of blossoming SOON. I planted some seeds in my flower/herb gardens----Sweet Alyssa, Sweet William, hollyhocks, cleome, and a lavender plant from Kmart for the flowers; thyme, oregano, cilantro and nasturtium in the herb garden. The Sage, lemon balm and rosemary are all thriving as well. I plan to till the vegetable garden this weekend, but I'm still too chicken to plant any veggies until the first week of April.

Gotta get the flywheel off of the tiller to replace the points, dad wants to get a jaw puller but I'm afraid of breaking it, it's time to turn the garden and get the beets planted, they are an early item, would love to put out some greens.

Planted a bunch more flower seeds yesterday: Sweet William, Morning Glory, California Poppys, Zinnia, Hollyhocks, Snapdragons & some Gladiolous bulbs. Just about out of space in my permanent gardens. Now I need to clean and prepare some containers for more herbs and veggies.
