Strange Weather Occurrence… I think…

I didn’t get to go to the last night of VBS at our church tonight, because my back was hurting.  Thank you very much to the storm that was heading this way.

When they left in my van, it hadn’t rained yet, but looked like it could any minute.  The wind was kicking up, and there were dark clouds looming above.  Within a few minutes, it did start to sprinkle, but it never really rained enough to count.  Which is why I was particularly stumped when I saw this…

Yeah, you’re seeing it right. It’s wet where the van was parked, and dry everywhere else. It was not wet when they left for VBS. So, you can see why I’m bewildered. Perhaps there was an EXTREMELY localized shower above my driveway??? LOL Leto is checking things out for me.

He’s thinking it over…

Then he and Max had a debate on the subject, but they have not yet come to a conclusion.

The world may never know.

First Taste of Garden Fresh Veggies!

We had our very first taste of fresh from the garden vegetables over the last few days!  I wish I had pictures of some of them, but silly me forgot to take any.  LOL  I know, me, the queen of garden photos, forgot to take pictures.  What is wrong with me???  LOL

Oh well, I just had to tell you that they were delicious!!!  One day we had liver and onions from the garden.  Then we also had fresh peas!  Pods and all!  They were soooo sweet and yummy!  Then another time, we had some little baby red potatoes from Greg’s square.  Some of them were no bigger than my thumbnail.  LOL  But they were almost creamy to the taste.

I don’t think we’re going to do the layered thing with his square foot potatoes.  The soil he used is too heavy.  So, we probably will try that next year.  But I have every belief that it would work just fine!  Also, the peas might give me another mess, and then they’ll be done.  So, I need to figure out what I want to put in their square.  I would like to plant something we don’t already have growing.  Hmmmm…

I just came across this cookbook by the author of the Square Foot Garden book, All New Square Foot Gardening Cookbook: Taking the Harvest to the Table,  and it looks really good!  It has lots of recipes all centered around your square foot garden!  Click the link to buy it on Amazon.  :-)

A Cute Little Story

One morning, a husband returns the family boat to their lakeside cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up, and begins to read her book. The peace and solitude are magnificent.

Along comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, “Good morning, Ma’am. What are you doing?”

“Reading a book,” she replies, (thinking, “Isn’t that obvious?”).

“You’re in a Restricted Fishing Area,” he informs her.

“I’m sorry, officer, but I’m not fishing. I’m reading.”

“Yes, but I see you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”

“If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault,” says the woman.

“But I haven’t even touched you,” says the Game Warden.

“That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.”

“Have a nice day ma’am,” and he left.

MORAL:

Never argue with a woman who reads. It’s likely she can also think.
