How to get that annoying cat hair off furniture...

...get it at the source.

Skunk...of the corn

Saturday afternoon, I was going to go and water my vegetables and I found that something had attacked my corn. My prized corn. My four and a half foot tall corn. Oh woe is me. I couldn't figure out what it was, but regardless, I was really looking forward to harvesting it shortly. I had eight cobs and they were >this< close to being ready.

Late Saturday night, or more specifically, early Sunday I was up at the asscrack of dawn the wee hours of the morning and decided to look outside. I went to the back porch and turned on the light...and what should I see? A skunk was sitting on the edge of the garden, happily munching on a cob. The bugger somehow nibbled his way into the plant and he had a cob between his paws.

Needless to say, when I looked again at the crop later on Sunday, the entire crop had been nibbled at and there were ants crawling on some of the cobs. *cringe*

At least the skunk hasn't gone after my peppers or strawberries...yet. Who knew they liked fibre?

WOO HOO!

Catherine received her referral! Go and wish her congratulations! I can't wait to hear all about her sweet Hannah!

I've converted...

...to Google Reader. Thanks for the heads up, Doris.

I got sick and tired of missing blog updates. For some reason Bloglines stopped updating a lot of the blogs I follow and I finally made the switch, and I have to say that I'm *loving* it. The great thing about it is that you can just export your Bloglines feeds and import them directly into Google Reader. How awesome is that?

Happy birthday, Dolores!
