Just another Sunday

Just another sleepy Sunday.

Yesterday we went to Fresno my family and I, and ate out at the Fresno Fish Market. They have a diner in the back, and it served excellent Korean style food.

I bought my roasted green tea there, that's the only place I can find it.

Then we went to Best Buy and my husband and daughter bought some anime. My husband has been following Gundam wing (I think I spelled it right?) and my daughter got another new anime Galaxy Angle AA (at least to her).

I'll have to watch it with her later to see what its about.

Right now she is finishing up with Ranma 1/2 that a friend loaned her, and she giving it back tomorrow.

I viewed some of it with my husband before he went back to sleep. He's doing the night shift again at the winery, and he's once again the crush season foreman. I wish he could stay foreman, but that is up to his boss.

*Sigh*

It would be nice through, it pays more than his usual position.

I'm still writing, and working on some thing I've named Alien heart. I'm about two thirds of the way through. I thought it would be a novella but it don't want to be. I need to finish it so I can get back to work on Dragon heart, but I can't until this one is finished. Its demanding my time, lol.

I hope everyone had a nice Sunday.

Harvest season

It's harvest season once again, and this is the first year that my landlord is harvesting the almonds on the baby almond trees.

So I guess there not babies any more?

Last weekend at five in the am I heard; varoom, varoom, click-click-click, grr-rrr, varoom, varoom, click-click-click, grr-rrr.

It was the machine that attached to the trunk of the almond tree, and shook the bajesus out of the tree and all the nuts fell out.

They did it to each and every tree on our 80 acre parcel that we live on.

Oy vey.

Then yesterday, my husband came home about six thirty am. He gets into bed with me and whispers in my ear, "Their harvesting," and I hear; varoom, varoom, swish-swish-swish, varoom, varoom, swish-swish-swish, varoom, varoom, swish-swish-swish.

It was the machine that puts the nuts in neat line down the center of the rows, and the machine that picks them up.

Great.

We both tossed and turned.

Then my hubby said, "I can't sleep."

Me, "I can't either."

"Let's go to Fresno and I'll buy that MP3 player for you."

"Okay, just give enough time to take a quick shower."

"Alright, then I'll wake the daughter."

He grabbed up a pillow and threw it over his back like it was a bag. "Ooh, Sarah," he said going into her room, "time to wake up."

Whack, whack, whack.

I think my daughter got him real good.

Quick finish; we went and had a terrible meal out at Carl's jr. Went to Fresno and hubby bought me a Zen, and spent way too much on manga at Bounders for our daughter, bought anime at Best buy and then came home.

Then when we were about a mile or so from our house we saw this huge plume of smoke.

Guess what?

It wasn't smoke, it was the dust that the harvest machines were kicking up.

Today I went outside there is dust was every where, on the trees bushes, on everything in my garden, and my car is looks like it hasn't been driven in a year.

But the good news is they're done.

Phew!
