Working Girls

I'm on "Tuesday" of my work week.  I've been working weekends for over 7 years now. In the beginning it was fun and easy.  I still spent time with friends on Friday evenings and occasionally Saturday nights.  But working two 12 hours shifts Saturday and Sunday quickly put a damper on those activities!
Now I work 8 hour shifts on Saturday and Sunday, and additional hours during the week... always p.m. shifts.
I get to spend time on weekend mornings with my boys now, which is a real benefit!  I'm pretty tired most of those mornings, but I can enjoy the boys from the couch if I have to!

Good Morning!

I'm not a fan of rabbits. They are cute I guess, but I know that's just a cover for evil. This time of year there are green things all over the neighborhood.. fresh, tender green things.  Why then, do the rabbits choose my garden?  They have to negotiate a chain link fence, and then hop up into the raised beds where the fare for my lunch is waiting to be destroyed by Peter Cottontail and friends.
I think they may have been the culprits who bit off and spit out section after section of my new aronia bushes as well.
Next year's garden budget will include chicken wire.  And maybe a live trap.
