Home and Garden: August 2004 Archives
Hurricane Report
from Mr. Luse
You may have to scroll, hot link is AFU.
I have a horrible migraine headache and should probably get off the computer and go to bed. I have 2 more days left of vacation and I am starting to experience guilt and regret that I haven't accomplished any major tasks around the house. I am not looking forward to having to get up early in the morning and drive to work and deal with that set of headaches either.
I really should have gotten out of the house today and gone somewhere - daily mass, adoration, or even just weeding in the garden. I need to kick myself out of this laziness but I am too lazy right now.
The garden, BTW, is behaving rather strangely. The squash plants are all dying. I have harvested one half grown acorn squash as its parent was dead, and ditto for one spaghetti squash. The zuchinni kept trying to set fruit that died on the vine, and now it too is dead. The tomatoes, however, are thriving and we are starting to harvest them.
I didn't know that it was even possible to kill zuchinni!
