Thanks Ernesto

They say every cloud has a silver lining. I don't know who they are, but clearly silver is mined from the ground. The clouds did however bring quite a bit of rain, which was very convenient as we're trying to patch the side hill. It seems to have helped maximize the yield on the grass seed. Take a look.

Much better than before. We seeded the hill on Aug 27th, and da wife has dutifully watered it every day that it hasn't rained.


Now... if I can just keep the dogs off of it long enough for it to fully establish itself... (The last time grass was planted and had grown this much, it rained and the dogs tore through the section. Returning to the mud patch from whence it came.
The rain has also been good for the tomatoes (although I still have yet to have one ripen). I am eagerly awaiting these little nuggets!




Things to think about.
In a recent chat, someone had said "Kill da Wabbit!", which brings the consistent reply of "With my spear and magic helmet?". Only this time someone said after that "I got yer spear and magic helmet, right HERE." This of course led me down a path of rethinking the entire context of the masterful work of Chuck Jones in "What's Opera, Doc?" The innuendo about the spear/helmet also gave pause for thought about "kill da wabbit" and how in the past pregnancy tests involved killing a rabbit. And truly the spear/helmet would cause a rabbit to die, if Brunhilda was caught in a compromising position. I may have to rewatch the short to see if any other subtle (or overt) hints are laced within.
