My dad has at least one Meyer lemon tree that he is fond of. Mine is unlabeled, so I guess I have to wait until it has a lemon then take it to my dad, the family citrus expert, to identify.

I kind of liked watching the coyote run across my hay field every morning, but they do tend to eat things people would prefer were not eaten, like chickens, small dogs, cats and cute bunnies. They also carry disease like parvo. Parvo lives in the soil for a good while, and parvo vaccinations aren’t 100% effective, especially in young dogs. If you’re concerned about the air horn bothering the neighbors maybe a paint ball gun would be as fun. I mean effective.

That pasta dish looks like my lunch yesterday, except I didn’t get a tomato. Squirrels stole most of our tomatoes. Or maybe they were small tree climbing dogs that look like squirrels.

I have trouble talking myself into actually paying for corn husks, but it is easier after having lost my entire 1.5 acre crop of corn from drought and flooding in consecutive years. Then, once I buy them, I can’t seem to talk anyone into making tamales. Fortunately I live in an area with lots of home-made, authentic tamales available.

Grandma Jack, Lucy is my miniature Snalzer (sp). She allows me to live with her. And, even though she is small, she is a great big Taff fan, too. She keeps asking if she may wear my No. 1 Russ Taff fan button, but I’m still holding out on that one.

Oh my goodness, we have coyotes, too, and I worry about my little Lucy out in our yard. I’ve been told they are an endangered sopecies and that really confuses me when there will soon be a ratio of 10 to 1, coyotes vs. peoople around here. Okay, give one or two on each side. But therfe are a blooming lot of ‘em! And they are showing up in groves (my fingers are crossed) in large cities and havily populated places. Tori, I wish you would cme down here and stand on my deck with that guaranteed-to-eliminate-preditors-look. By the way, bring along that lucious lemon bush and the pasta ‘n tomatoes dish. Gracious, and don’t forget your hubby and the houng-ins.

Those Coyotes ARE big! I’m very happy that the only wild visitors to my back garden recently have been hedgehogs (heartbreakingly cute).

I want to try one of those lemons!

Guess what? Summer has come to England at last! Apparently its the 1st of October today but my kids have been running around in the garden dressed in swimsuits having massive water fights. I had to put suncream on all of us. They had 6 weeks off school in the ‘summer’ and not once was it dry enough or warm enough for suncream or water play. I don’t understand – I’m just enjoying it. 4 whole days of warmth!

Linda B– No seriously, I can look really threatening! OK, not really, my kids never bought it either. And I didn’t have a deer problem this spring because I didn’t plant my garden this year.

Blondie– I’m here to amuse. And scare coyotes.

Gramma Jac– OK, you had me at maltihuahuapoo …

I was laughing through Tori’s post,…but I just reread yours LindaB and if the coyote wasn’t incontinent, I may have been from giggling!

And another BTW, I guard our little dogs–I was gonna say “like a hawk” but really “from hawks” and other birds of prey! We have a maltihuahua that looks like a chihuahua and a maltihuahuapoo (maltese/chihuahua/poodle) that SOMEHOW came out looking like a yorkie or maybe a yorkiepoo!!! Strange, but she’s my little love!

So buy that airhorn already!!!!

OK, first the Prissy imitation is a great mental picture!!

Second, re: PTCS (Post Traumatic Coyote Syndrome)–I may need your mailing address. I’m running to Hallmark tomorrow to see if they have PTCS cards and, if they do, I’ll need to know where to send one!

BTW, did you like the George Clooney ad?

” …but I waved my arms around and assumed a really threatening look on my face…..”
BA HA HA HA HA! I’m sure THAT scared the coyote urine right out of him!!! He’ll probably be back tomorrow with his “wife” and little baby coyotes for tea!

I suggested on FB that you should mark your own territory, like they do, but don’t use the airhorn at the same time. Your neighbors would all have “for sale” signs in their yards by morning!
