The tomatoes are reddening in my garden. One plant, zillions of tomatoes. I am impressed. And I need to weed like a maniac.
I don’t normally like salad, but I like the salad I am eating right now. It features tomatoes. Perhaps you would like the recipe?

I went to bed before 2 am. I got up at 9 am. And I did laundry.
I did laundry.
And it wasn’t like you think. It wasn’t like I had no clothes and my floor was covered in socks and undies and sorely abused denim. No. No. I just decided [...]
Sometimes, being a responsible adult is a real pain in the ass.

Susan has addicted to me to this live feed of a bald eagle nest.
I’ve decided that I’m going to take a little bit of my tax return and buy a dwarf apple tree. They’re less than $20 at Home Depot, and I know just where to put it.
Also, my seeds came in. The [...]
I am pleased to report that the roses are not dead, they’re just resting. I was much relieved to find that all five of my babies are slowly unfurling after a long winter’s nap. My tigerlilies are coming in, too. And here I thought I’d murdered them.
St. Louis’s last frost date is April 9th-ish, so I’m [...]
