Lynn and Chris - you sweet ladies are so nice to me. I'm doing fine here, trying to keep up with all the garden stuff. With all the rain and heat, the weeds have been really growing fast. I'm starting to see a real problem with the triffids getting out of hand and so hard to keep in check, but fortunately there is a lot of bind weed as well, so there is a bit of balance. Fried triffid is not too bad, resembling asparagus in taste, but like asparagus, I can only eat in small amounts and grow tired of it quickly. The neighbors don't care much for it as well.

The neighbors next door have 5 kids, all under the age of 11. 4 girls and a boy. I've named the girls Meme1, Meme2, Meme3 and Meme4 (1.5yrs old) and the boy Dennis (the menace). (The parents agreed to the naming instantly!)

Of course, most days I get to bed at about 6 AM, just in time for the Meme's to get outside and start screaming....(true story!) . I'm hoping to get the kids interested in the triffids one of these days (or vice versa! )

Please!
