A Haiku I wrote for my dog, Lucy:

Evil Gray Squirrel

I Will Bite You Hard One Day

Until Then I Wait

(This is from 2012 at my other farm.)

Very nice! Have you printed that out with the haiku as a caption? That would be cool.

I Will Bite You Hard One Day

Until Then I Wait

Ok, this got me to post. (After I stopped laughing)

Your Lucy looks so much like our Ruby and she’s just that way about squirrels. :)
She’s half Norwegian elkhound and half lab mix(We’re convinced the “mix” is greyhound and kangaroo:) and would like to sit on my lap, but at 65 lbs., she won’t fit anymore.

Anyway, the taters are up and looking good. Got them planted on Easter Saturday, then the cold and rain came back. It finally warmed up and dried out enough, that I got the beans and corn planted on Thursday, before the rains came again. If it drys out enough, the tomatoes and peppers will go in later this week.

Tomatoes are a”labor of love”, which entail’s spreading of landscape fabric, digging hole and adding a handful of crushed eggshells, planting plant with a good soaking, pulling fabric up as close as possible, and when planting is done,spreading a good layer of straw. Followed by putting tomato cages around them, with a stake to keep the cages from falling over.

After that, it’s a matter of tying them up as they grow, keeping the blossom knocked off the bottom of the fruit, wearing gloves and washing my hands and arms up to my elbows as soon as I finish, as I’m allergic to the plants. :)

But oh my, it’s so worth it when I can grab a jar of home canned sauce in January. :)
