Here and there
The good news:
Summer Reading is put away. I mean REALLY put away. Except for a few lingering pieces of cheap plastic crap for the children to take home, it’s all gone. The sad little folks miss the daily programs but I have to admit cutting down to six weeks was the right decision. I don’t feel rushed to get ready for the start of school and I won’t feel guilty about getting out of Dodge in a week or two.
The bad news:
I had to pull up one of the zucchini plants. It was rotting at the base and since I didn’t know what was causing it I was afraid it would infect everyone else so into the trash it went. I didn’t even compost it. Sigh.
The good news:
I HAVE A SUNFLOWER! A full blown, honest to goodness sunflower. Last year those guys wouldn’t grow for love nor money and this year I have a real one. How cool is that.Huh! More good news than bad on my planet this day. That’s really good news!
And so it goes.

Sounds lovely!
. I got five gorgeous fruits out of my zucchini plant a few years ago before it turned gross. Then again, there was some fungus in the soil nearby so we eventually pulled everything out of there. That was a rewarding process.
Mold and mildew get to plants, sadly
