Librarian, knitter, rocker, reader.
This giant freakin' bug was sitting on the corn this evening when I got home from work. It looks vaguely evil, and I'm wondering if I should be trying to get rid of him and any of his friends who might be hanging around. Anyone know what it is and if it's dangerous?
So yesterday, in one of the very weedy areas in the back corner of the yard, Karl found this flower growing. I posted it to the What Plant Is That? group on Flickr and was quickly informed that it is locoweed, aka jimsonweed aka devil's snare aka about six hundred other nasty sounding names. Needless to say, it won't be sticking around, as we don't need any hallucinogens growing in the garden.
The garden is growing and I just harvested my first two cherry tomatoes. These three are still ripening, and there are lots of green ones just waiting to get ripe. I've also been enjoying lots of cucumber salads. I love August!
This dahlia wants to grow Right Next to the garage, for some reason. It's gorgeous, though!
Karl and I set off yesterday morning on our first roadtrip in quite some time. We left Michigan and went through Indiana, Illinois, and finally into Iowa, our destination. We're here for Michael & Stephanie's wedding, in which I am playing the part of groomsmaid and Karl is playing the part of videographer. On the way into Iowa we noticed the World's Largest Truck Stop, so you can check out my Flickr for some photos of that spectacle. It's gorgeous here, and we had beautiful weather and hardly any traffic the entire way. Woot!
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise is coming soon. And our red-ringed 360 came back in seemingly functional condition today. Woot! I am ready to garden and breed pinatas like a motherfucker.
