Here's some amusing finds:

Garden Pic Wednesday: Squash & Melon Leaf Idenification

-
Image
I planted my melon & squash seeds myself, so I know what's in my garden, but sometimes--especially if you're augmenting your garden soil from a mulch pile--you get surprise guests. This happened to a find a mine and though I can tell by the leaves & blossoms it's a vining type of squash, I'm eager to see exactly what it might be. Pumpkin? Butternut? Acorn? So today's Garden Pic's are pictures of various squash & melon leaves and blossoms, so you can tell what's what.  Squash: Whether a vine or a bush, winter or summer, squash generally have large, well defined leaves such as this. (This particular shot is a bush Zuchinni) Summer squash ripen quickly, winter takes longer. Pumpkin takes 100 days from sprout to fruit. Squash Blossoms: Are distinctively large and bright yellow-orange in color. They are male & female, with the male appearing first and the female later. Female blossoms have a fruit behind them. Melon:

Wednesday Garden Pic: Mole Cricket Hunting

-
Image
I suppose you've been waiting with baited breath to see a photo of what mole crickets can do to a lawn?  Mole crickets turn a lawn to dirt because they eat the roots of grass, particularly the centipede & St.Augustine grasses that frequent southern lawns. Two pictures below: The damaged area as it looked after a cricket infestation a couple years ago and a picture of the same area from the year before they I had such a terrible problem. What mole cricket damage looks like. Reduces grass to dirt. Side view of same exact area last year full of grass. I think there was a double whammy that effected this particular area: first too much rain, so maybe some mildew weakened the grass, then secondly, a rash of mole crickets and still too much rain for me to be able to really do anything about it. Mole crickets tunnel just below the surface of the soil leaving a "trail" of a raised tunnel line of dirt that is easily recognized in any area of exposed soil

Garden Pic Wednesday: Evening Color

-
Image
Garden Pic for today is a evening shot of these brightly colored 4 O'clocks in one of my front beds.  It was around 6 pm, still light after a rainy day. They stay open all night, feeding moths and so on.   Other news: I got all Dave's clothing boxed up, plus a box of odds and ends to give away, such as mugs and other household type things. Plus, a few pieces of furniture are ear-marked to go. It was harder then I expected, though, to find a charity to swing by for a pick-up. Goodwill isn't doing home pick-ups. Salvation Army had one guy and a small truck and couldn't pick-up the desk I wanted taken away as well. I wasn't sure who else to call, then found a website that pairs people to charities that do pick-up in your zip code. (free) They connected me to the Waterfront Rescue Mission and they set up a pick-up date later this month to do the pick-up. However, the form had me fill out exactly what I wanted picked-up and that's all they will pick-up as that's

Mama Kat Thursday: Not A Morning Person

-
Image
The Mama Kat prompt chosen today is to write a post inspired by the word,"Early." I've never in my life been a morning person. Even as a kid, on Saturdays, I'd sleep in until 9:30 or 10. Then I grew up, joined the Air Force and also joined the work-a-day morning world. I'm convinced the decision to make work days 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. was made by a bunch of morning people. Luckily, my Air Force job was shift work, so I didn't have to work day shift all the time---in fact, I was able to request a night shift.  There were two: "swing shift" from 4 p.m. to midnight and "night shift," from midnight to 8 a.m. Different people experience their peak energy at different times of day: some early in the morning, some later in the afternoon and some late at night. My energy peak happens to run from about  4 p.m. to midnight, so swing shift worked best for me---but on the down side, being a swing shift worker put me cross-grain to the rest

Good Eating Monday: Oriental Ramen Noodle Salad!

-
Image
Today's Good Eating recipe is for Oriental Ramen Noodle Salad.  Sometimes also called, "Asian Ramen Salad," it's quick & easy to put together using a combination of packaged slaw, sliced almonds, green onions, minced bell pepper, frozen peas, Mandarin oranges, Ramen noodles and a delicious sweet-sour vinaigrette! This recipe is one I devised by combining the best of 2 or 3 different Pinterest recipes for it, so what I'm sharing today is now my own recipe! The Air Force kids who came over on Sunday loved it! A few who normally dislike traditional mayonnaise-coated slaw, raved over this salad and had seconds! I served this salad with slow-cooker Hawaiian pulled pork sandwiches. (Photo my own salad) Oriental Ramen Noodle Salad Ingredients: 2 packages of slaw mix, any style 2 packages of Ramen noodles 5-6 green onions, minced (or more to taste ) 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed 1/2 cup finely minced bell pepper, any color 1 4oz package sliced alm
