Random Thoughts

Things are growing in the garden!


Can't wait to eat fresh tomatoes! There is nothing like a home grown one!



This little bugger is trying to foil our garden efforts. He stalks the garden. We can be several feet away, and he will still watch our garden and plot ways to bypass the fence. I don't know much about rabbits, but I don't think he is too bright. He will run at the garden , jump into the little fence around it, and then fall down. He keeps doing this. I would think he would try to squeeze under it, but I guess that idea hasn't occurred to him yet. He is very cute, but I really don't want to share our garden with him. So, we planted a habanero plant, and we will cut some peppers up and surround the perimeter of the garden with them. I hope it helps.

I finished The Kite Runner.
It is a good book, but the ending was a little convenient and somewhat predictable. All in all, a good read. Now I am reading Jimmy Carter's The Virtues of Aging.

oh, and finally....

Another self portrait of Mimi. Here she is "fixing a hard drive" The dots are the "pwoblems on the hard drive." She is replacing the problems with zeros and ones. Isn't this great? :)

Have a fun week!

Karen,
Your pic of the green tomato made me hungry for my favorite garden treat. Fried green tomatoes! I've got a recipe to share if you want. Mimi is already more adept at computers than the average adult. I bet her daddy is so proud!
