- As we watch the collapse of the Al-Maliki government, I wish to point out that nobody ever did well trying to conquer the Kurds when they had their act together. Heck, they’re used to being surrounded and outnumbered. I say we airdrop in a crap load of guns and ammunition and make popcorn.
- I’m enough of a garden geek that finding three volunteer tomato plants in the garden beds was a highlight of my day.
- Lord, I’m trying very hard to not find joy in the suffering of someone who caused a lot of my own suffering, but I think I’m going to need a little help.
- It would appear that I am buying Irish Woman an antique piano for her birthday. I’m glad I thought of that, right after she told me about it.
- Hmmm, read a funny book about shooting, or read a history of World War I that will depress me to no end?
- Why not both?
- Thinking of that, it occurs to me that I need to organize my bookshelves. “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” does not belong next to a book of Norwegian jokes

/ June 13, 2014I helped a friend move her piano the other day, and she made me a couple of pies. Maybe you can work out a similar arrangement?

/ June 13, 2014*Last year we put most of our garden into 4 raised beds. (You may recall seeing photos.) There were actually 2 kits — we assembled them separately — so only two of them got the provided covers through the winter. Took the covers off and discovered that the strawberry plants that did so poorly last year now OWNED that one garden.
*As for the reading, do both! Get a copy of “War Bugs” by Charles MacArthur. (And if you find two copies, grab one for me, that’s the last time I loan a book…)

/ June 13, 2014Strawberries are great ground cover. They’re aggressive, they’re useful, and they are hard to kill.
