Amusements and Drivel
Yesterday was better. And I have every intention that today will be good, as well.
very sexy (ahem) eggplant #1
(the bugs have been horrendous and this may be one of a mere handful)
pumpkin #12, they are surviving the cucumber beetles and the invasion of the
EVIL SQUASH BUGS
two monarch crysalises (chrysali?) the one on the right broke open this morning
I was looking at it yesterday and thinking how amazing it all is and here I am,
a witness to it.
And this, my husband brought this home from a yard sale with a smile on his face
“Beer Drinking Sing Along: To Get The Party Started”
“this looks like trouble waiting to happen” he said.
It sure does.
I love that he is still as funny as the day I met him.
Today?
blackberries: the berries in the woods are 2-3 weeks behind the ones in our fields and so are just now ready. A few days ago, Trevor picked 4-5 quarts and ran out of containers. They taste warm and deep and spicy sweet. Like earth, only better.
broccoli, I need to freeze 3-4 pounds more, it will not stop.
what else? rolling around on the floor with my little lovelies
maybe play a little dress up?
ignore cramps
look at the woodpiles and think about bringing in the 5 cords we will burn this winter and how good the exercise will be for my mood. The stacks are so pretty right now, though.
Tonight?
A mamas evening at a friend’s house with wine and crafting and (always) good conversation.
Who’s coming to pick me up after? I’ll be ready around 10:00 because I am bit of a fart.

You should take the eggplant and the new record(?) to the party! If looking at those don’t get the party started nothing will!
Wow, Your eggplant and pumpkin look beautiful! The record does sound like trouble, how funny. Have a great evening with friends! Be Blessed
Yeah….ditto!!!!!! (-:
And that is the most beautiful eggplant……..
Yay for Ms. Monarch!! Is she still unfolding? Do ya have some more photos????? (-: Isn’t it great to just be watchful of what is around you…instead of buying those expensive kits??? Yep, yep, yep…
Have a great wine night!!!! (I have a group of women I meet with for the same purpose…and it’s wonderful! Maybe we can all meet one day!)
Why does the girl in the picture get a smaller glass???? I think she’s a heavy drinker who likes to do beer bongs. She gets hammered and fist fights people!
I’m not a Virgo myself…but I’m in love with every Virgo I’ve ever known…I’m a libra that in the 9th month must have been itching to be born early…
what a funny picture…my art-crit days come right back to me…immediately observing the obvious male gaze going on!
also, I was writing about crysalis as well and noticed that I didn’t know how to handle the plural version either…
Durn bugs got my seconf pumpkin. I went to pick it, and a lizard wrapped itself around my wrist, and I hollered and threw the pumpkin about ten yards. Funny thing is, I’m not afraid or even creeped out by reptiles, I just don’t like surprise visits by them.
Beautiful, sensual produce. I love how you can see the monarch’s wings through the chrysalis.
That young lady’s dress is WAY too short; she’s asking for trouble for sure! *snort* Please, oh please do tell what’s on this LP!
Enjoy your wine night!
see, i love hearing about your amusements and drivel. they’re positively wonderful.
that record should be titled “Beer Drinking Sing Along: To Get The ORGY Started”…that’s what it looks like it’s leading to!
my eggplants are pathetic this year, about 2 1/2 inches long…appetizers i call them.
glad yesterday was better!
Oh my goodness that eggplant is too much!
Your life sounds idyllic.
you crack me up Julie. that LP cover is too much! and the eggplant..:D I hope you have a good time out tonite.
I hope you have a wonderful time tonight!
Too much fun in this post.
I hope you have a great time tonight. Thanks for making me smile. Now I’ve got that “let’s get this party started” song stuck in my head.
the crysalis is so cool.
My dad used to listen to German beer-drinking songs. And I live in Kitchener, home of Oktoberfest. I could probably sing you a few lines…well, maybe I won’t.
Beautiful vegies! (Is a pumpkin a vegetable?)
your life makes me smile
Is it just me or is that eggplant an innie & an outie?
Squash bugs are eeeeeeeeeeevil. Bastids.
I love me some sexual produce! hehe
hmmm a girls night out sounds lovely!
