I love the radio show "Prairie Home Companion" which airs on the NPR station from Purdue on Sundays at 2pm local time (you can listen to it by going to the website www.wbaa.org and listen online. Since the movie is coming out this week, Meryl Streep, Virginia Marsden and John C. Reilly were on the episode today. And the title for this entry was from a faux commerical for dental floss with John C. Reilly teaching Garrison Keillor how to floss. Since my mom donated to WBAA, she got two tickets to the advance screening for the movie on Thursday so I'm really excited to see it.
Mom and I slaved in the heat a week ago to plant broccoli, tomatoes, brussel sprouts, peppers , and lettuce plants as well as planted seeds. And then a few day ago, my mom noticed that somehow the broccoli, lettuce, brussel sprouts and most of the pepper plants had the shaved down to nubs about 1/2 inch tall. The culprit has been assumed to be some very bold rabbits that have ventured into the garden. The departure of the barn cat (Goatbert) has made the local rabbit population very daring indeed. Mom and I are brainstorming the best ideas to curb the rabbit problem. But we have to act fast because they are starting to attack the replacement broccoli was well at the new korabi and peppers (but they don't seem to like tomatoes or the kale.) They better not eat all the peppers because I was able to convince mom to buy purple peppers!
Tomorrow, mom and I are off the pretty prairie to U-pick to strawberries. Bring on the pie! But the most exciting news is that my sister Rachel seems to begun her labor over in Germany, so I may have a niece or nephew within the next day. Hooray!!
