Morning Corin - Yes it is Friday, and I took the day off. Yessssss. Let's see how shall I spend my day? I'm sure I'll think of something. :-)
mmmmmm....day off....
Yup; the first one this year was when Ruthie came to town and LSA, Ruthie, OT and I had the FL-KS-MO mini-moot. No such plans this time.
There's plenty of 'adventures' to hear about, though. OT in NC, Jen in CO, Rosie in Canada, G'nad in IA. Crisscrossing the country they are.
Crisscrossing indeed. Everything is set in motion.
(yet another) Gardening question. We've got these small (about an inch and a half) caterpillars eating EVERYTHING. They've gone from the herbs to the 4 o'clocks and yesterday Nana saw them on the tomatoes. They're light yellow with a bright orange head.
I've used Bug-B-Gon and Sevin. Anything else I can use?
I'm about ready to capture one of the critters and take him to one of the local nurseries to see what they recommend.
Mornin' PQ.
Not much. Just tryin' to clear some things off of my desk before the weekend.
Morning Hobbit Hole!!
I'm hoping to finish things up early today so I can start my weekend sooner! *grin*
I wish I could do ~something~ rather than just hang around the house though. Alas, I have paid my bills and that equals no fun money for a bit.
Anyone have any ideas on what's fun and free?
Does it have to be legal?
Nah, then I'd just have to fill out a report...
Anyway, as I watched, I realized the person in the back yard was Clare! I couldn't figure out why in the world she was out there in the middle of a storm, then I saw David, and realized that they were trying to get the tarp off the fence so that they could cover Gimli to protect him from the weather! They were out there for almost 15 minutes in a horizontal rain and lightning every 10 seconds or so!
They got him covered, then when they came in, I reminded David that Gimli had been sitting uncovered in the back yard for almost 2 months! He felt a little sheepish....Crazy kids; must get it from they Daddy! ;o)
heheheh....I forgot to add: "with a 6 year old and 2 year old"
What you posted was what I ~had~ planned, until my ex decided he wanted to go out of town rather than stick to his visitation schedule. *sigh*
Of course it does! I can't very well get arrested with my kids around! *wink*
Oh well then, rules out "bungling."
Squash a few of the bugs, put them in water and spray the plants with the mixture. Another thing I've read is to create a spray with cayenne pepper powder. Must give the bugs indigestion, or the runs or something.;o)
I've got some pepper spray that I used to get rid of the chipmunks. I'll try that.
Then again, squashing the little suckers might be fun too.
