A Short Note

The answer to yesterday's riddle and the winner of the contest will be posted tomorrow... I forgot today was Weds, and I already had my guest blogger. Go forth and read her answers to my silly questions!

A Quickie for Wednesday

The odds of going to the store for a loaf of bread and coming out with only a loaf of bread are three billion to one. ~Erma Bombeck

Just thought that was funny :-)

And, the cliff notes version because I have a guest blogger, below -- please read and comment! Let's see...

Eye: better, but the skin is peeling off my eyelid, which is a little icky.

Sleep: Managed to "sleep in" until 4:20 !!

Pillar Place 2008: Three more pillars are on their pupa walkabout. Thank heavens. They are eating me out of house and home.

Reading: The same. Writing: The same.

My Garden: The milkweed is a bit perked up, despite massive amounts of rain and hail again yesterday. Also, my squash plants have baby squash on them, and the cucumbers and tomatoes all have blossoms!! yay!

That's it for now... go forth and read about writing with music (something I CAN NOT do, lol)...

Wednesday Quickie!

And on the eighth day God said, "Okay, Murphy, you're in charge!" ~Author Unknown

A quickie, cuz... I have a guest blogger :-)

Amy asked if Dd = Dear dog or Damn dog. It depends on the hour... *G*

We lost three more pillars in Pillar Place yesterday. I've never had this kind of mortality rate before. Of course, I've never had 20+ pillars before. It's only the little bitty ones, and it makes me wonder if this kind of thing happens when they're outdoors, too. Could be, right? Survival of the fittest? After all, bugs lay 100's of eggs... if they all survived, we'd be overrun!

Still... it's rather sad.

=======================

What I'm reading: Almost done with "The Hollow" by Nora Roberts. I really like it!! Now, ugh, the wait for the final book at which time, I'll have to reread the first two first.

What I'm writing: Nothing... my time is being spent judging all the short story entries for our LASR contest. I have plans to work on editing "Stiller Creek" by this weekend though.

=========================

No quiz today. Sorry :-(

A Quickie

Really quick, because today is guest blogger day (and please go read and comment and make her feel welcome!)...

First: If I normally visit your blog and comment, and haven't lately -- please don't take it personally. I am so busy I can't begin to describe it. Next week life should be back to only "very busy" down from the current "blow the top of my head off utterly nuts, can't breathe, can't think".

Next: Dena -- I buy all my beneficial bugs from Biconet - I've ordered earthworms and praying mantis so far, and been very happy with the results. I'm sure there are other places to get them, too. You might look in to a ladybug house as well, so you can keep them close.

Remember -- every comment here enters you in my contest. Good luck!

Now go say howdy to this week's guest blogger!

Quickie!

We have guest blogger again, so I'm not going to have a "real" post -- just wanted to say: I'll be back tomorrow with responses to the comments from yesterday. Okay?

Also, I haven't done the drawing for the contest yet -- but the moment I do, I'll post the winner! Good luck, everyone :-)

Have a great day, and enjoy Liana's post!
