power in my hands

do you need an operators license for an electric hedge trimmer ? Rather a cool item as I have been limping along for years with my hand-held-sorely-in-need-of-a-sharpen trimmer. This baby hummmms. Last years lilac bushes were shorn down to the nubbins ( what with the graduation challenge and all.) But I am in a better place this summer. So despite the power I yield in my hands I think the garden is going to be ok. Maybe I should stop thinking about Edward Scissorhands though. I tell you this..it is the ultimate OCD toy !!!!

months

July Johnson. What a Great name. Stalwart character in one of my favorite novels ( do you know what it is?) May, June and August Boatwright...but no July? Because July Johnson is a manly name, and you can't go naming s great boy names. Ok, yes, Devin is a boy's name..but just a "good" name not a Great name for a boy.So we could use it for a ,and we did and it fits her perfectly. But back to the months. What was I thinking during all thoses birthing years ?!! Months mean so much to me. When I read "The Secret Lives of Bees" and hung on to every single word..and the sisters names were just The perfect touch. Why on earth didn't I use months for names?! Ok, wait, stop..I Did want to use "August" for Denver..maybe even call him "Augie-Doggie" like we did to August Klein back in Woodside. Kevin wouldn't go for it. Geez, I just shouldn't have asked him. Kerriann has been a doll about this and offered to take on the middle name of May since she has always had a bee in her bonnet about not receiving a middle name . She is such a good daughter, so accomodating. Still..if I could have one more baby, and it was a boy and the month just happened to be in the middle of summer..I would name him July Johnson..definitely.
