Memorandum Monday: Bugged by Bugs

Almost two years ago, North Country neighbor Bob said, you can't take boulders from here when you move. As I was half way through hatching a scheme where I could take boulders, his statement stopped me dead in my tracks. I then decided he meant I couldn't take a lot. I mean we had a trailer, a tractor, and boulders. What's a little trucking south when it comes to lovely granite boulders? Plus, I planned on using my puppy dog eyes with THE MAN.

And so I did. I smuggled four or five big rocks on our trailer all the while THE MAN complained. Then I stock piled them until this past weekend at which point they got installed in the little Japanese. garden. Which by the way looks quite lovely, in my opinion. So, yes Bob you can totally move big rocks!

This past weekend involved some crafting, running of kids, and then finally on Sunday some work in the gardens. We did fight the bugs the entire time who were intent on eating us. So when I spotted a recently hatched bunch of spiders, I cheered on their efforts and even sang them a little song about being champions. I hope they grow big and strong and eat a ton of black flies. I googled them. They are aptly called Argiope aurantia or Yellow Garden Spiders. I know, pretty creative.

There you have it! You just learned something new! Join all of us Memorandum Monday peeps over at Sian's From High in the Sky blog.
