Evil Witch

Some evil witch put a spell upon me but after a week of small
misfortunes, not the least of which was a haircut that almost
scalped me, I think it is over and my world OK.

Jose and I have been walking with neighbors who are dog walkers. It is fun for us both but especially Jose. When
we meet the pack on the corner there are lots of snuffles and
squeals to welcome us. Jose keeps up with the big dogs but
he is exhausted when we get home. He starts begging to leave
several hours before it is cool enough to go.

Our Laura, my grand daughter has moved to New York City to
seek her fortune in fashion design. Teal has given her
the names of several friends who can help orient her and steer her in the right direction, for which her mother and
I are very grateful.

My garden is flourishing. It consists of squash and tomatoes
and hope. The herbs are outdoing themselves. Parsley must
love our soil, it looks like it is on steroids.

Mike and Fredo have a beautiful garden, far beyond the scope of mine. Fredo provides the supervision of course.

I like the description of your garden produce -- squash, tomatoes, hope. Hope you get great yields.

I am hoping for a harvest. I have never tried squash in containers before.
Last summer was such a disappointment. I yearned for a tomato sandwich.

The quality of the home grown squash and especially tomatoes is so much better. I have four of each plant which is probably plenty for my small family.

My efforts at planting flowers succeeded one season and were destroyed by hurricane Thelma. It's like a higher authority was telling me "don't even think about it." As time wears on, I have less energy for outdoor work. Trimming the bougainvillea can lay me low for a day. So I am impressed by all who can garden and succeed. Waiting for a call back from a new lawn mowing guy because the one I was using disappeared. WTF?? I am using Tamy for the bushes. She's super.

Yard work is exhausting and my efforts are in containers. I have neighboring twins who keep the lawn mowed. They are fifteen and are making a mint. Their Dad is a doctor and he is teaching them to be enterprising.

I planted seed last weekend but it has been so cool and wet that I may have to replant, which is unfortunate since we have such a short growing season. Plant some garlic to keep the witch at bay, or does that only work for vampires?

Garlic must only work for vampires because I have some planted. The squash
is up and flourishing. Hope you don't have to start over.
