my garden is enjoyed by some...

This past month I have been noticing that my tomatoes were not getting ripe. I see the green little beginnings then nothing. Aleca's garden is flourishing with vegetables and mine was not. Then last week when I mowed the lawn I realized that someone, not going to name dogs, had been picking the green tomatoes the carrying them off to the corners of the lawn. the lawn mower found them and spit them all over the yard. Well i had a stern talk with her and have checked then lawn every day. I have not found green tomatoes instead I have found the fist sized orange tomatoes that are almost ripe. tonight I found the fourth victim this week.


Notice that the tomato still has some green on it. The teeth marks are what gave it away. I know I'm better at this detective stuff than Sherlock Holmes...it only took me a month to figure it out.

Her she is the tomato theif!!!

back to school

Well the summer is over and I am going back to school. I get to go a week early because the literacy teachers all decided that they need to meet and discuss the pacing guide and test scores. FOR 3 DAYS!!! I was also selected by my principal to be on a committee that decides what the other teachers are teaching when I am teaching AVID. the nice thing is I get paid extra for going in those 3 days. I would take a picture of how happy I am but sadly the camera batteries are dead.

Greg is in Chicago working his usual 12+ hours and enjoying the famous deep dish pizza. the lovely Daisy is sleeping all day long.
