those words come from an old rolling stones hit. they are older than i am. i agree with them. it is a drag some times. i was hurting all last nite. i have been working in the garden the past week. i musta overdone it yesterday tho. i couldnt sleep. just too much pain in my back and leg. the meds didnt help at all. that pinched nerve makes my leg tingle and hurt. i knew i was hurting but i had to get my garden weeded. that is quite a chore. some of my pole beans are starting to climb. thing is they had nothing to climb on. so i rigged up a place for them to climb. had to do this before the rain hit. and it did hit last nite. grateful for that.

my garden is doing real good. i picked my first zuchinni. i am taking that to one of our ceremonies. that is what you are suppose to do. take your first picking and offering it to the ones that gave it to you in the first place. so i will. then i will have plenty more. old injun way.

i went to an auction last nite. needed a diversion after all that gardening. i was the high bid on a coupla items. i won the bid on hunting knives for 5 bucks. so i took 3 of them. i always need a knife. i also was the high bid on a broad axe. got it for 16 dolla. it needs a handle but i can fix that. i have needed something like that in a few things i did. now i have one. i have seen them back east in my travels going for a hundred bucks.

my lab results came back. my cholesterol is a little high. not as high as it was tho. it is coming down from previous highs. i have lost about 10 pounds. all my walking and working in the garden is doing some good. i kinda blame it on them indians i hang around with. they eat alot of fried foods. i am making a conscious effort to cut down on that.

everyone has heard of someone killing indians for their natural resources. we think that only happened in the 1800s. well some of that is still going on. today.  in the amazon. the indians there are trying to keep their land. the end result is that government people are sending in troops with helicopters and machine guns to remove the indians.. i remember back during the first longest walk. they were discussing prophecies. one was that north and south american people were not two but one people. they just like us.  gotta remember them in our prayers. they our kin.

got our summer ceremonies coming up. so that will keep me busy this week. it is always something to keep me going.
