DO YOU GARDEN? I am researching a book called "My Very First Garden" (about edible gardening... fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc.) and need your true stories! Do you have a good (or even bad!) memory about the first garden you ever did? Was it inside in pots, outside when you were a kid, or in a community garden? Did you harvest anything or did the rabbits get it all? Please submit your short but true story to vikkibooks at yahoo dot com by April 27 2010. Your submission implies your consent to use your story and the possibility of (minor) editing. Thanks!

Jury Duty

So much for my plan to drive my car only once this week. Arggh! I had Jury Duty today! Dropped Weslee off at sitter's at around 6:45 a.m. and after a brief chat with Miss Tiffany (nice lady BTW), I drove the long drive to the courthouse. Let me tell you - they need cushioned seats! Sooo not comfortable.

After about 30 minutes my name was called to fill out a questionnaire. Did and submitted. About 2 hours later, the other people in my group were taken to our courtroom and we listened the judge tell us about our service and duty, and the lawyers asked their questions. Thank goodness I was near the bottom of the list so I was in kinda the "reserve" section... no real questions. After a long day, those of us not chosen to be on the jury got to leave. Yippee!!

Doug picked up Weslee from the sitters - I understand that Weslee was pretty good but didn't eat much for lunch. I had even packed some of his favorites! That's very unusual for my "Bottomless Pit Boy" but he later explained that he just wanted to get back to the video or game or whatever. Fun fun!

And a big thanks to Doug for picking Weslee up, and for watering the garden tonight and letting the ladybugs go take care of our bad bugs. Barely got to say hi to my gourds!

Ok, I'm officially over the edge now. Have a great day! V.
