Happy Birthday Grandma

This one's for you, Grandma. Today is the anniversary of Dorothy Curtis Wilson Larson's birthday. I think of her often, especially her love of her garden. Her new potatoes and peas were divine. Also, she stubbornly refused to let anyone else mow her lawn. I hear ya Grandma!

My garden project this year has been to start a butterfly garden. Of course, it will be a multi-year project. However, there are already results. This one was particularly interesting. I was able to get within inches of it.

Yesterday, I was lying in the sun and a dragon fly landed on my hand and stayed there for a minute or so. I wish only the non-biting insects would land on me. The mosquitoes are horrible this year.

Oh, and we have found three (3) snake skins. The part left after they molt. Fascinating.

Have a good week. It's finally hot here. The 90's all week. Yeah!

True Blood

I finally was convinced to watch HBO's True Blood. I am now officially hooked. I have about a 1/2 hour of season one to watch. Then, I can catch up on season 2. Here's the theme song.

When you came in, the air went out...

Mac & Cheese

Leo shows off his good manners while eating some Macaroni and Cheese. He used to only eat dry cat food. Now, he wants to eat what we are eating. He gets turkey lunch meat twice a day.

I survived on box macaroni and cheese while going to Anitioch and making $575 a month working at Safeco Insurance. Yes, $575 a month. That was just a little better than the $2.35 an hour I made at the stick factory. Good times!

More Promotion

I have never been shy about putting our promotional efforts or media attention on the blog. So here is another one. Click here. There is an interview with Bill at the end of the post.

Simple Joys

I consider my muck boots a garden necessity. I finally replaced my well used and "holey" pair. I started the wearing-in process tonight while mowing the lawn. I highly recommend them if you do a lot of gardening or even a little.
