Weeds

So Bob declares it's rice and beans for dinner because he "went up." This is weird because we ate a salad for dinner that I made. It consisted of fresh garden lettuce, spinach, a small (2 oz) piece of salmon, 2 oz cheese, sugar snap peas, some fresh corn (I took off the cob and stirred fried with peas), and a little dressing. It was delicious, but not high calories with plenty of vegies like you're supposed to have now. It's a wonder sometimes. He says it takes a couple days for his body to register high calorie items, like that coffee cake we ate. With me, I register the calories as soon as I put whatever it is into my mouth!

Now for the weather report... :) ... It is delightful. We're having a humidity break of a couple days.

I tackled my back bed yesterday afternoon pulling weeds. I have honeysuckle SEEDLINGS, mind you, that are 2 feet high. This is the scurge of not only my garden but all our woods around here. The nonnative honeysuckle bushes have just about crowded out all the native scrubs and wildflowers, unless there is someone to police it and pull those suckers out! I must pull out hundreds of seedlings every year. The birds eat the seed and poop it all over the place. They must not get much nutrition from the berries because they come through in tact, if you know what I mean. Poison ivy is spread the same way. More stuff that has been growing like, well, weeds is: wild grape vines, gill-over-the-ground (I HATE that stuff), morning glory vines, hops (I actually planted this and wish I hadn't) vines, Virginia creeper (its leaves and vines are so abrasive that even sliding it down your arm causes scratches). I wasn't able to get out there early in the spring, so that's what I get.

Now to my spin class with weights,
