garden update!

my little jammers are going hard!

i did cheat a little and bought these pre-grown
pepper plants: jalapeno & banana peppers.

then i moved some tomato plants into big planters
to see how they fair outside. go lil doods go!

also, i tried the salsa again with better results
though it burned my face off a little.
and i'm trying to learn to drink selzter water
so i don't get a tumor.
and i got to eat one of these at my mom's today:

a word about lawn ornaments

since i was a child i have always gotten inordinately emotional about lawn ornaments. not all of them, just the ones i hate. i used to become incensed when i saw specific scenes as a girl, and my family would go out of their way to point them out. the one i hated the most was the old lady backside w/pantaloons:

my mother would say, "look up in that yard sar," and i would groan and roll my eyes angrily for the next 5 minutes or so. i have no idea why i hated them, i just did.

i had forgotten about this inability to deal with yard ornaments i found unacceptable until today i was faced with a new breed of nausiating decoration:



TREEEEEEEEEE FACESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! ughhhhhhhhhh they suck so bad!!!!!!!!!! they suck sooooooooooooooooooooo bad! ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
acceptable forms of yard decoration:
s.p. dinsmoor'es folk art masterpiece "the garden of eden" feat. 150 Biblical/secular figures put together around his house. he also took a picture of himself alive looking at himself in a coffin with early camera tricks. he was amazing!
