Gnaw Gnaw Gnaw

Posted by Dixie on Jun 30 2003 | Food, Gardening

something… presumably a squirrel… gnawed on my tomato plant and broke it off about 3 inches from the ground yesterday. Aaaargh! well, at least I was able to get two small tomatoes off of it before the evil doer destroyed my plant.

while preparing the rice cooker for dinner last night, clint said to me, “I’m going to make water.” ???!!!
that boy is amazing. anyone who can create water is amazing in my book.

More Kitty Joints and Composting

Posted by Dixie on Jun 29 2003 | Animals, Gardening, Movies

Mr. Baboosh went to the vet. He now has a joint supplement to help increase fluid circulation in his hips. We watched as the vet tapped and pulled on his back legs… very hard to watch since Mr. Baboosh seemed to be in pain. The vet found that his back knees are the problem area. The vet wants him to lose some weight too, so we have to feed him wet food. Yuck! He liked the pate yesterday, but he does not seem to care for the flaked wet food today.

I did manage to swing by the Farmer’s Market to pick up some composting instruction sheets, but I missed the demonstration. It’s OK though because I already have a compost that seems to be doing OK on its own. When I am rich, I shall own a compost bin on wheels. Turning the compost would be so much easier.

We went to see 28 Days Later last night. The movie was pretty good, but the theater was incredibly crowded.

Kitty Joints and Composting

Posted by Dixie on Jun 28 2003 | Animals, Gardening

We’re off to take Mr. Franklin Baboosh Esq. (aka Basil) to the vet. We’re having his stiff joints/possible arthritis checked out. It makes me very sad to see him having a hard time sitting down and to me, the known worrywart, it seems to be getting worse. But we have a really super great vet, Dr. Smith. I credit him for saving Wembley’s life and getting to the bottom of his ailments. So… there you have it.

Damnit! The week that I miss the Farmer’s Market, there is a composting workshop. Perhaps I will have time to swing by after we get home from the vet. But the composting workshop is only happening until 11am.

Allergies, Intros, etc.

Posted by Dixie on Jun 26 2003 | Random/ Life

wow. I have the new version of blogger today. It is moving much more quickly now.

I have a massive headache… probably allergies. darned austin and allergies.

Did you see our new intro? It will change again soon. I made that last night but it does not really go with our “theme” if we in fact have a theme.

Finally, I hooked Clint up with a blog so he could rant. So go read some rants by the cranky old man. He wasn’t in a ranting mood last night, but maybe by the end of today he will rant about something.
