Year 2 - Day 220 - August 9

Before we left for vacation, we had grass all the way to the driveway. In the 10 super hot days we were gone, the rubbery spidery weeds took over and invaded! This picture gives you an idea, but doesn't do it justice. The rubbery spider weeds are my nemesis! :)

Day 327 - November 23

About once a year, I get the premium channels to catch up on the most recent seasons of TV shows.  Really, I wanted to see Dexter so that I don't get spoiled this year.  But once I pulled up the Sho On Demand listings, I remembered how many awesome shows there are!  Weeds is up first, then U.S. of Tara and then Dexter ... but then there's also Nurse Jackie and Californication  ... and I got HBO free with Showtime, so there's Boardwalk Empire and then soon Big Love.  No wonder all the cable channels win at the Emmy's - they can go so much further and do so much more.

Day 248 - September 5

You see that caterpillar?  The yellow and black one?

It just made me fall over from my weed pulling crouch, jump to my feet, shudder, scream, and take many many steps away from the weeds.

You see, there are several in this weed patch.  And they happened to be waiting in line for something, and when there are 6 all in a line, they look like a snake.

But they're not. They're just a whole bunch of caterpillars.

If anyone happened to be sitting at their front windows watching me pull weeds however, they might think differently.  Mike says he's sorry he missed it.
