The season is changing and I'm still waiting on spring to come. We went straight from winter snow to summer heat. Now some of my bonsai are showing fall type activity. My 17 yr. old dwarf green small leaf Japanese maple acer palmatum is getting orange on the tips and my 21 yr. old American larch is starting its light green pre-drop colors. I still had more branch work planned this year …

As I get older I like winter and summer less and spring and fall more.

Now you folks are probably not going to believe me, but I swear it's true.

Today was my 'waiting' day. . . a day to work on being patient:

I waited 45 minutes for the AAA guy to give me a jump.

I waited 2 and a half hours for Sears to install the battery in my truck. (See sub note 1)

I waited over an hour for Me 'n Ed's to make a medium thick crust pizza. (See sub note 2)

#1 - I read all the magazines in Sears' automotive's waiting room, and when I started to feel like I was melding with the chair (a little over 2 hours), I got up and wandered out into the sales room to do some exciting window shopping, looking at batteries and tires and such. As I passed the front window I see my truck out in the parking lot, and I hear a voice behind me across the room, hollering, "Your truck is ready. They called your number a while ago." ??? My "number", when called, rings in my bedroom, at my house. Sheesh.

#2 - So, by this time being pretty darned hungry and having craved pizza for a couple of weeks, I decided to swing by Me 'n Ed's on the way home. I placed my order and was told it would be about 20 minutes. This is a very big shopping center and I decided to pass some of that time walking around the perimeter of the parking lot. Then I went back inside and commenced to wait, sitting on a very hard, slatted wood bench. . . and wait. . . and wait. When the clock on my new cell phone reached the 30 minute mark I went up to the counter and asked if they called my name and I didn't hear. After looking for my order, the manager tells me there was a mix up and my ticket got tossed, but ". . . I'll reimburse your $$ and we'll get started right away on your pizza." While I was waiting, he told me if I come back another day there will be a credit there waiting for me for another medium, thick crust combination pizza. So even though I had to wait over an hour for a crummy pizza, at least it only cost time, no money.

So now, since this is a "waiting" day, I'm sitting here in my recliner waiting for sleep/nap to overtake me.
