Life goes on

For most of us. Unfortunately, not for one of the two yearling billies...he did the arched back thing and passed on. So far, though, the rest look ok.

We have had quite a few apples, peppers, okra and melons, and we had a great run of squash this year, in spite of yet again a number of interruptions in caregiving, mostly watering the garden. And tons of bugs. Battled Japanese Beetles with the apples in July, then moths just a couple weeks ago. Squash Beetles were fairly controlled with dte, which has been a life saver in the garden. It's about time, though, to pull the plug on the garden and put it to bed for the winter.

There, Google, I've posted. Now, stop telling me you're going to shut me down! :-)

Kids. I don't know what's wrong with those kids these days!

Long title, taken from a line in Bye Bye, Birdie, and since it was at Franklin High School we did that musical, I doubt that's the correct wording...but it works, yes?!

Monday evening, May 7, we came home to a couple of new kids, born to (current) Shaggy. They were both pretty wobbly, but at least for now both are still alive.

And we may be grandparents of a different type...

Yup, acorns. Maybe, next year, we can show you a baby oak tree! Wouldn't that be a kicker :-)
