Summer so far has been going really fast. I am in denial that next weekend is actually the 4th of July. It just can't be. The weather has been really rainy. This past week alone we have had over two inches of rain. Lots of green grass, mosquitoes, mushrooms in the yard, and slugs in my plants. Getting rid of the mushroom and slugs have become my new obsession. Actually, getting rid of the slugs has been on my mind more than the mushrooms. Aside from trying to pull out as many mushrooms as I can, I have postponed that battle. Right now, I have declared warfare on the slugs. Those ishy, tiny things can do a lot of damage. On the bright side, I am learning more about gardening which will help me for the future. Apparently there is more to it than just putting a plant in the ground and watering it once in a while. I'm kind of depressed about this discovery.
Speaking of discoveries, I have discovered Webkinz. I never knew what all the fuss was about, but Mateo got a Webkinz pet several months ago. I have to admit, I am kind of addicted to playing the games. So when I'm not hunched over my plants slaying slugs, you can find me hunched over my laptop playing some sort of game on Webkinz hoping to earn lots of Kinzcash. No wonder my chiropractor keeps telling me to schedule more visits!
Looking ahead: the forecast is supposed to be more summer-like with warmer temps and less rain. That should help the mushroom and, hopefully, the slug issues. This Thursday we are heading out on a road trip to Louisiana for our annual 4-H reunion. It is going to HOT and lots of fun!! I hope the hurricanes don't find us.
