This was all well and good until she saw me cutting the basil and insisted I say the Pledge each time I snipped off a stem. It was a much longer process than I had anticipated.
After the first 16 times, I started cutting the branches lower and lower in hopes of speeding up the process. There's a teacher at school that promised me pesto if I cut her some more basil. I've never made it before, so I'm excited I got one more cutting out of this plant before the frost came. The way it grows, I may even get one more.Today I'm putting up some more black and white ribbon for the Keychains for a Cause.
I think it's a bit classier than say....the monkeys. Although those really are fun.The morning comes early. Sweet garden pledging dreams.
Never a dull moment with The Girl, huh?
ReplyDeleteAlicyn actually put four words together this week. From "Two little monkeys jumping on the bed" we got ...Two. Keys. Jump. Bed.
It's a start ;-) Much better than her previous.... Kiss. Butt.
Fantastic, Granny! They are hysterical. I picked the girl up at school today and another kid volunteered that his mother needed to loose weight because she drank too much coffee and smoked. The things they pick up!
ReplyDeleteI'd pledge allegiance to my garden too, but not every time I cut something. I'd never get out of the garden. I miss having kids in the garden.
ReplyDeletewow, i keep seeing that pattern all over the place. sometimes black and white and sometime red and white.
ReplyDeleteThe wife and i went to a play a while back and we were talking to a woman with a coat with that pattern. She loved it... until i told her that my Grampa bought 20 rickety chairs for $5 with that same pattern... about 35 years ago. :)
oh my, it's going to be a looooooong harvest season come summer!
