--Brad came running in this morning declaring that there was a skunk in the yard. I laughed and said “Oh no, you have a skunk confused with a cat or something.”I was right about being confused. It was not a skunk… but it wasn’t a cat either. It was a raccoon.
What is a raccoon doing in the middle of the city??? We live no where near either mountain range. I am totally puzzled. I told Brad to toss a few rocks in the bush next to it to try to startle it a little. The little rodent looked at me like “Lady I am a city raccoon, you don’t honestly believe that a little rock is going to scare me away.” It really would not leave. I even tried yelling a little. Nothing… little bugger was solid. So Brad and I stayed inside for a couple of hours. I can’t believe we were conquered by a little pest.
-- Remember this little plant…
Brad’s preschool experiment was a huge success. He is so pleased with the fruits of his labor. Everyone that comes to our door gets a special meet and greet with his VIP plant. Way to go Brad.
--I am only about 100 pages away from finishing Breaking Dawn. I am really struggling with the conclusion of this series. I love it and I hate to see it come to an end. I am trying to read the last little bit as leisurely as I can. I am just hanging on to every last shred of reading gratification. I guess I can just read it again… it is just not the same as the first time. --Randy is still at Scout Camp. I was sort of looking forward to it because I have a long list of things that need to get done. When Randy and I are together…we are not very productive. Needless to say it didn’t go as planned. I am even less productive when he is gone. Turns out I just miss him a lot and have not been very diligent on the mommy-do-list. Truth is I have no one to impress. No one cares if the house is not picked up…no one cares if dinner is gourmet… no one cares!!! So, Randy please come home so something can get done around here. (Not that Randy expects any of the above, I just like it when he takes pride in my accomplishments.)

racoons are mean. It was smart to stay away. I totally know what you mean about the housework and cooking. I love doing those things for my husband but when he is not around I am the same way.
i hate to say this but that book series sound like a bad heroin addiction to some of you ladies
You are just barely getting tomatoes? I have had some from my garden for weeks! There is nothing better than a garden tomato is there! Tell Brad that it is an awesome sunflower!! Way to go with that green thumb!
I am starting Eclipse when i get home (I know, I'm a little behind the times but better late then never right?) I have to get them all read before my LAST (yes you read that right, my last) semester of Nursing school starts in a few weeks. I hope they are as good as everyone says they are. I love a good book!
To have fresh, yummy, home grown tomotoes, no garden for us this year and we are sure missing it.
Gotta love those rodents!
I LOVE garden tomatoes! There is nothing quite like it! That is so strange that there would be a raccoon in middle of WVC! Maybe it eats the trash at the middle school? How true, it is really not the same when no one cares!
very nice...all of it! love the tomatoes and love the sunflower!
