Things I Have Learned This Week

*  It's one thing to say that it's really wrong to have to turn on the air-conditioning in October, but that doesn't really matter much when it's 90 degrees and you're dripping with sweat

*  When one arranges to have friends meet one to go to a movie, it's probably best to verify that the schedule--which one has duly checked--doesn't change on the very day that everyone has arranged to meet

*  The only person in the entire room who doesn't find it annoying when an audience member continually interrupts a lecture to throw in useless information is the jerk doing it

* Never underestimate the garden.  Just because our potato tower experiment has been a general failure, and even though I dug all around inside it and only found one potato, three new potato plants may be able to spring up from itty bitty potato molecules just out of sheer spite.

*  After all the bugs, weeks, fungus, and rodents, I might really enjoy seeing the garden get knocked off by frost this year.....

There was a risk of frost last night, but no dice. I am yanking the garden on Monday, just because I am sick of it. This summer seems endless.

After 30 pints of applesauce, 6 pints of apple butter and 12 pints of apple jelly, I'm ready to say that the rest of the apples are there for the squirrels, birds and bugs. However, I still want every single of my green tomatoes to turn red.
