How Does Your Garden Grow: The Final Chapter

I woke up this morning with a determination to just end it. Like a bad relationship, I decided the garden had to go. The time had come to part company with Ed and his dag gum "W.O.R.D. System". Between the bugs, the heat, the drought and a water bill that made me weak in the knees.....

I dressed, assembled all the weapons, and proceeded to the garden!

The cucmbers were the first to go, and by the way...I don't care what the "Vegtable Gardner's Bible" says. They do NOT grow just as well climbing up!

With that done we proceeded on to what was left of the peppers, squash and eggplant.

Pretty easy going until I got to the north end of the garden.

There stood my tomato plants.

 I paused....I waffeled....I wavered...

As I stood with my hands on my hips watching those seven overgrown fruitless wonders,

Kaiser said, "I'm not watering them anymore so if you keep them it's totally up to you to water".

Well what are ya waitin' for...YANK 'EM OUT, LET'S GO!

No tears were shed, but I was feeling a bit blue....Kaiser patted me on the head and told me not to feel like a quitter.

WHAT? Oh no,no,no....

I am not quitting, no sir!

I sent him to the shed for the roto-tiller

This isn't quitting..this is re-grouping! What I need is better weather, I need a better plan, I NEED.....

...a better BOOK!! Me and Google, we'll figure it out!!

Better Than Ice Cream

Oooo Weeee...I just finished a book that was better than ice cream. BELIEVE IT!
One of my dear friends, who shall remain nameless, kept harping on me to read this book...constantly!
I kept putting it off because

1. I don't typically like this particular writer.
2. I didn't think she knew what she was talking about :)

...and that is what I get for

1. not listening to my own advice
2. being a know-it-all 

In a previous post I warned about going strictly by the author...just because you liked (or in this case didn't like) one book by a particular author does'nt mean you will like (or dislike) all of thier books.

The book is called "Rainwater" by Sandra Brown.  If your familiar with her writing then you may think this is a murder myster....It's not. This book is a complete departure from her usual style of writing.

The story takes place in depression era Texas in a bording house owned by Ella Barron. Ella is a single mother of an autistic child, and her life is turned upside down when Mr. David Rainwater becomes a border. This book has it all and weaves a story that you never want to end. Do yourself a favor and get it. It is available in paper back and as an E-Book. I bet the library has it too!

Okay, Okay...I'll say it,lesson learned!
You were right nameless friend and I was wrong !!



It's really hot....and I am kranky...and really hot.
        And tired of being really hot so I can't write about this really great book I just read....                  
I'm doing a rewind and hope it will refresh me...
... and you too!

And this one is just to make you smile

Okay I am better!
