MATERS!

Here's the first one. It's about the size of a golfball.

I'm not real comfortable shooting people. But at work today they were stacking a new web leader press. It was an interesting process to watch them moving heavy press equipment around, raising half up with a forklift and then setting back down on top of the other half. It went smooth considering the logistics involved. Anyway, I got a really neat shot of the press foreman, Dennis.

I twittered this already but...

I was filling up my bottle at the water fountain at work today when Randy says to me, "I could throw some water on you and you could grow some more flowers on your shirt." :D





Hmmm, too many flowers or room for more flowers? With Randy it's hard to tell.


There was a huge chunk of time in my life when I wouldn't have been caught dead in a white shirt with a floral print. But this shirt kicks ass.

bad aphids



The garden is coming along.

I expected tomatoes by now but have mostly flowering buds, no tomatoes yet. Hope it's just due to planting them deeper this year (a friend told me to plant them deeper and they will produce bigger tomatoes). It would be a serious bummer to have put in all that work and get no tomatoes in return. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and trying not to worry too much yet. It's still early.


The romaine lettuce is jamming! But yesterday evening I found colonies of aphids on most of them. So after work today I need to de-bug the lettuce. Will use a soap insecticide of water and ivory soap. At least those nasty salad-eatin' aphids will be clean before they die.
