now that the powwow is over…

pow-wow-rainbow

at the pow wow saturday some people were whining bout the rain or what they paid to get in. if they had looked up, they woulda seen this pretty rainbow. we have several words for rainbow. one means ‘it stops the rain’. sure enough the rain stopped after it came out.

some may not have cared for the rain but my garden benefitted from it. it is really growing. i probably will pick some zuchinni this week. some of the things i replanted have sprouted. thats good. my lawn really grew. i had to mow it today. i would have gotten to it earlier but it was damp from a few drizzles we had. and the new meds i got sure knock me out.

i missed the golf thing they had monday. i was tired from the weekend and still in some pain. guess they had notay begay there. he will help in the design of the course. i bet we will have a nice golf course. i dont play the game. i always remember what my uncle bud said about golf. he said it was a silly game. ‘you knock the ball way the hell over there then chase it down, then you do it again’. that old guy taught me many things. he’s the reason i always tease the hell out of my nieces and nephews. golf is picking up around here. many of our people tee up now. my brothers play, but i dont.

i loaded a coupla clips of my pow wow footage on my facebook. i dont get on there much, kinda dont care for it. i only load about 15 second clips. i am one of the under-privileged who still use dial up. it takes forever to upload something. and i have some good footage that lasts about that length of time. i burned me a dvd of my pow wow footage. i watched it on my new per cap plasma tv. damn this injun didnt know what he was missing. thats big time.

i ordered a used book from amazon. com.  it is a book a friend of mine told me about at the pow wow. its call american indian mafia. the review on it says it is “an fbi agents true story about wounded knee, leonard peltier and the american indian movement”. hmmm. i wonder. i keep an open mind. i will read it. my friend is mentioned in there, though they used an alias. probably know some others too.

i will be  busy this week in my garden. as soon as i got home from the pow wow i looked at the garden. i could see the weeds in it. i will run my tiller down it and take care of the weeds in the middle of the rows. after that i will have to get the hoe out and go at it. if anyone calls and asks me what i am doing i will tell them ‘ i’m hoeing around’.  so i gotta get a good nights sleep so i can hoe around tomorrow.
