The day was fantastic although it started with some June gloom which burned off by 10:30 am. We harvested veggies and I did some serious transplanting of beets plus I planted about 50 beet seeds. Mary took her cart and visited the flowers taking off dead leaves and blossoms.
Another magnificent day!
EEK! I heard a horrible noise terminating from the garden. It reminded me of the song, Ghost Riders In The Sky! When I turned the corner, I was confronted by a large black and red four-legged BUG! I thought I was safe because I could not see any eyes. It was flailing around as if to be in pain, so I walked every so slowly in its direction. It spoke English; a bug speaking English. I heard the word “PULL” and then decided I had to help this poor defenseless creature.
I grabbed the top of its shell and gave it a yank. OMG, the noise that terminated from this thing was frightening. I saw Scout run into the house and dive into his bed, shaking.
Then, to my surprise, the shell came off, and it was Mary — she got stuck taking off her sweatshirt. I was not ging to be eaten alive after all.
A giant bug was in the garden; I got the sprayer!
By noon time, we had a small lunch and Mary headed to the office to do paperwork. I stayed outside and decorated the gazebo plus did some additional planting.
I love the afternoon wind.
Mary gets confused about whose wheelbarrow is whos so I decided we needed a sign om the side.
His!
Mary’s is smaller.
Hers
Off to the Elks, and as expected, no phone call from our friend, so I guess she would be happier being alone and depressed and not visiting her old friends she hasn’t seen in two years. Life is what life is!
We had a wonderful time at the Elks; there were only 36 people there and a wonderful band playing dance music all night long. We met some new people and got to visit with Mike and Bridgette for quite a while.
