Obamas Following Our Lead

President and Mrs. Obama totally stole this idea from us, those copycats. Good to see this fledgling little journal is already making the rounds. Kudos to Jason Kelly for the NYT link.


A tip of the cap to entertainment columnist Jackie Harvey for the unique style of the rest of this post.


ITEM! Tomorrow, we'll be making a trip to a horse farm for a free load 'o the stinky stuff to turn into the dirt. Coming soon, pictures of poop!


... I should probably learn what growing zone we're in. Michele and the boys couldn't hold their
water about a month ago and not only bought some seed packages, they planted them as well.


So far, we have sprouting beans, lettuce, cucumber, I think carrot and, in the white planter, that there is corn. No, we don't expect them to survive the transfer into the ground, but at least we know the seeds work. We got them at Wal-Mart so ya never know.

Next we'll be heading to Rural King for stuff, which may be a dangerous thing. They're selling baby chicks for $1.50. The advertisement says they'll grow into fleshy, meaty monsters. Mmmmm... chicken.

  1. You a gardener? I'm impressed. And while I don't even know you, I pictured you as a hard-hitting, shoot-from-the-hip type guy. I still think that, but the garden adds character depth. Very cool!

  2. I'm like an onion. As Mike Tyson once put so elegantly, "My style is impetuous. Me defense is impregnable." Of course, he also said, "I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah." And that is awesome.

  3. Gardening! What fun! Maybe with some of the ripe manure we'd do better. Every year it seems to be a race between the little white flies, the big ugly tomato worms and the tomatoes ripening :)
