(53,609 posts)23. I've got the best garden I've had in years. Hardly a weed in sight.
No television. No Internet. No radio. Just silence broken by birds chirping (unless the asshole neighbor decides to target shoot). I've also taken to an hour's respite reading mystery novels - although I made an exception for the last Michael Wolff book. Here's a funny story. After reading "Siege," I decided to resell it at a shop where I sell antiques and collectibles. As I was unloading my cart of stuff from the back of my car, a nice man came along and asked if he could help. Right on the top of the cart was the Michael Wolff book. The guy snickered as he grabbed the cart and said "You're going to have to put a cover on that." (The only part of Wolff's book that was objectionable was Dear Leader's back on the dust jacket.)
