I Heard it Through the Grapevine

Our grapevine has a mind of its own. It's always reaching, always grabbing, always trying to take over everything in its path. I have to wrestle it into submission every summer or it would engulf the whole neighborhood. Creatures live in it too. The rustling leaves and animal noises make it seem even more alive.

Someday maybe I'll be brave enough to eat some of the grapes. Or not.

Death of a Gummi Bear

We had a birthday BBQ on Saturday and someone brought a bag of Gummi Bears. Today I went out to do some yard work in the 90 degree heat and noticed that one of the bears met a very cruel fate. Poor, poor bear!

By the time I finished, I was starting to feel like the bear. I figured I'd better get inside before I met the same fate!
