The Next Victims

I'm spending Mother's Day with the mother of all cold viruses. It started with a sore throat earlier this week that I got from Aaron. (He got it from Lauren, and she got it from her sister). I thought I dodged it--the sore throat just disappeared and I was fine on Thursday and Friday. But then, Friday night at the graduation I started sneezing; my head, throat and ears got all snuffy . . . I'm sure I infected the 500 people in the gym for the graduation, plus most of northeast Ohio. Here are pictures of the next innocent victims:
Sorry, Dan & Kathy. We were so happy to see you Thursday night, and didn't realize we were "Typhoid Mary." Hope you get it, and get it over with before that new grandbaby comes!
And Brooke and Chris, apologies to you, too. Look back on this picture to remember how good you looked without a wad of gooey kleenex in hand. (Although Chris, I don't know why the camera made you look like you've got a little Hitler moustache or really big nose holes. Sorry again!)
As you can tell, I'm easily affected by cold medicine. I got tired of watching tv all day so I posted the following three postings of pictures for you. Enjoy! Stay away from sneezers.
WRITING UPDATE: I didn't accomplish much this week with all the visits and all the germs. Thanks for checking in on me.

Outdoor Visitors

Tom was burning some brush at the back of our lot early this evening. I walked back there to talk to him, and lo and behold---a big wild turkey came walking out of the woods on the lot across from us! I thought maybe he smelled the smoke and decided to check it out. And he didn't seem in too much of a hurry, but he picked up the pace when he saw us. A minute later, we saw some more movement where the turkey was, and a coyote peered over at us. He turned around after eyeballing us. I think maybe he was following that meaty looking turkey. I never know what I'll see out here!   And this little thing was inside the screened-in porch today. The green anole made it out alive yesterday, so I guess word is out---Fud isn't a threat! Those are NOT my fingers in the picture.

Jennifer Lawrence interview on David Letterman HD - November 20, 2013 I've never been a fan of a real-life movie star (Bambi isn't real). But after watching this interview last night I just might! This girl's hilarious!

New Pets

My garden failed in everything except a pot of parsley. Last week I noticed tiny green beads stuck to the parsley leaves, and a few days later some small black caterpillars, and now.... PETS! Yep. Pet caterpillars. Not Monarchs, though. They kind of look like the Monarch butterfly caterpillar, but these are Black Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. Love the parsley. They totally destroyed my plant so I bought them some from the grocery store. I put the stems in a cup of water and it's holding up well enough---at the rate they're going they might eat it all before it wilts anyway! I wish I'd taken their pictures on Wednesday when they were less than 1" long. Now they're a good 2" long. Let me introduce you:   This one is named Parsley. Start up the music for Scarborough Fair. Sage. Rose, Mary, and And (yes, one of them is named And. Scroll down and see if you guessed why I named it And). Thymes Seven. Yes, this last one is named S...
