Gardening

Closest one to me is about 35 miles, or so, which means I stock up on my favorite things. I'm always disappointed when one of those disappears. I've learned if buying two of something I love is a good idea, buying 4 is a better idea. I just wish I had stocked up on the Honey Pale Ale mustard.

We had an infestation of Japanese beetles a few years back. They destroyed my roses and so many other flowers, not to mention the plum trees. When I was mowing the back lot I accidentally got too close to one of the trees and it felt like a BILLION of those little monsters descended onto me. It was like a scene from a horror film.
