Its not easy being Green.........

Not today, not around here anyway. I have been noticing that my beautiful mint plant has been looking rather lacking in the leaf department the last week or so. And its been rather droopy..... Well look who I found..... munching away as fast as possible...... right in broad daylight...
And He was not alone. He had a guest. I'm sure there are more, the mint is disappearing fast.
Allison loves the show "Man verses Wild" (either the show or the guy on the show , either way).
I don't know much about it myself but the guy is always eating weird things, really weird things, so I told Allison to taste one of the worms to see if it tasted like mint. She wouldn't do it. Oh well. I guess I'll never know since the chicken can't tell me either. heeheehee.


It's gonna be a hard knock life for this dishcloth too. Being green and all. And living around here. This is that new stripy peaches and cream cotton blend. I picked it up at Joanns. I like it. Being a dyer myself I'm not to impressed with the dye job on this yarn but for the purpose of the finished product (dishcloth) its just fine. I wouldn't use it for a garment but I wouldn't use this particular yarn for that purpose anyway regardless of the dye job.

And since I'm going with the somewhat corny green theme tonight and since the muscle relaxers that are supposed to be helping my shoulders and neck, have finally proven that my brain is in fact my largest muscle and is starting to not only relax but nod off......... I'll show you my beautiful green Basil. Which I moved very quickly to the other side of the patio and checked closely to make sure that those voracious little monsters had not set up housekeeping in yet.



It tastes as lovely as it looks....
Goodnite then and Blessings, Sue

The green is great. I love the chicken. We had some black and orange wormy things on our grapes and they are naked now. The grapes are hanging there, but the leaves are gone. Wierd. I'm almost done with the socks I am knitting out of the "island reef" they are beautiful.
