there is an abundance of thunder and lightning this morning.

no bike today.

however, it seems to be making everything greener and greener still which is fine by me. b and i put our tomato and zucchini plants in the ground this past weekend and i'm happy to have this rain, anchoring them down.

wow! super thunder-time! it's loud, i tell ya!

so anyway, the plants! i heard from a friend that cat hair will deter squirrels from nibbling on your veggies. we've got plenty of that. so, a mere few hours after our planting job, i brushed the kitties vigorously (well, mitch at least), gleaning some serious cat hair. i then took it out to the garden, rolled it into long strands and tied it around the nearby fenceposts. i'm sure i looked like some kind of weird witchy woman trying to ward off evil spirits.

it's raining hard right now. i'm happy to be inside watching it.

I have a vision of you shaking a your shirt or sweater, or whatever you wore last night, over a garden. Finally getting some use, that hair.
