Yesterday, after a long day with the kids I teach (we had a vacation day and played outside in the little pool and with the hose), I went over to my parents house for supper. Adam had to work overtime again and I didn't feel like being home by myself. They were glad to share some supper with me and I was glad to have thier company. I helped Mom in the garden a little after dinner... There are Japanese Beetles eating the beans in her vegetable garden. They are bad news. Mom took a little can with bleach in it to put the beetles in as she picked them off the plants. Bleach is bad for bugs. We picked some blueberries (first of the season). They were sooo good. Soon I shall have to bring some home to sh
are with Adam. He loves blueberries. I also weeded around the beets a bit and in the flower garden. Weeding always makes my hands dirty. But it does help make the garden pretty, so I guess I don't mind too much. Anyway, I'm always glad for the chance to help out in Mom's garden because I don't have one of own and I don't really have enough time at the moment to take care of a garden all by myself even if I did have one. Was that a run on sentence? Oh well... So if you live not too far from my parents, stop by and get some blueberries... cause them are good... and say hello to everyone for me...

I always love when my kids come home for dinner. And thank you so much for pulling those "little" weeds out of the flower garden. I kept looking at them and thinking "Boy, I really should pull those weeds!" but that was as far as it got. So much to do and so little time... Hmmm... what could I do different?
You look so ferocious in that picture!
Like a tiger...
