Yesterday…

So, what did I do yesterday? (BESIDES create a huge to-do list for the rest of the year? And THEN organize my daughter’s closet…? )

Why, I planted a garden. All in one day. The whole day, actually.

And, now…I’m resting. In fact, today is a day with little chores (not that I can’t find any, I’m just not going to do them until tomorrow).

Last night, I had trouble picking up Baby L, so a bit of a rest is indeed in order!

What I planted:

Asparagus
Squash
Lettuce
Okra
Peas
Spinach
Potatoes
Tomatoes
Watermelon
Carrots
Broccoli
Habanero Pepper (one)
Bee Balm
Lavender
Oregano
Peppermint
Rosemary
St. John’s Wort

And, I even have a diagram of my garden, so I know what I planted…and their approximate where-abouts.

And today, what am I doing (as I rest)? Researching things that sting and bite. You see, as much as I love nature, I HATE ticks, spiders, bees, wasps, hornets, and the like. In fact, I’d be happy if they all fell over dead. Starting immediately. And, while I won’t run screaming from the room if a spider catches my glance, I will stomp its little head off. So, spideys beware…and stay out of my way.

And since I plan to garden and well…be outside, I thought it was time to really research these little critters and the different KINDS and what makes them tick….errr…bite or sting. Especially since I almost accidentally shoved my fingers in a spider’s mouth yesterday as I was planting veggie seeds.

And, apparently, they bite but are not poisonous (Jumping Spider). He still better stay away, or I shall kill him. Bite me…and die. Lick me…and die. Look at me funny…and die. Set foot in my house…and…die again! Got it, spider?

As for the bees and wasps? I’m not reading any more about them today. I’ve read all sorts of fun stories about them not being as docile as people say (NOT what I wanted to hear). It really makes it hard for me to relax in the pool or laying on the patio when I begin to hear buzzy noises. So, I moved my research over on how to kill those too.

And, yes. I know. They are all God’s creatures and blah blah blah. And, they are great for the environment and blah blah blah…but, dude, if I chased you around shooting you with a BB Gun, would you want to hold MY hand?

I'd love it if you stalked me (subscribe to my RSS feed). Thanks for visiting!
