I think a rabbit ate all 4 of my hostas!

Rabbits are not as much of a problem as deer here in the foot hills

There's a burger place down here that has a cilantro pesto that's almost better than a traditional basil pesto. I keep saying I'm gonna experiment making it, but then I forget until the next time we eat there.

I must be in tune with Capricornfarm. I was awake 7 times last night.Just couldn't get to sleep and stay asleep. Allergies bad. Restless, achy then the cat kept drooling on my head. No joke. She sits by my head, kneads my shoulder until she gets so into it that she starts to drools. Sometimes she drools on my cheek.

Got up at 7 and discovered that the reason I hadn't slept is that I forgot to take my PM allergy and pain pills. Haven't done that in ages but was really tired so was pretty much a grumpy zombie all day. Lucky for me today was HAM Radio Field Day and our club was having an all day outing/cook out at Thousand Hills State Park. I was going to bake a Sour Cream Chocolate Cake. Opted for Hyvee Cheese Cake ready made from the deli. Slugged down two big glasses of sweet tea and got a sugar buzz on so I finally woke up about 6 pm.

In time to head for bed.

Bet I sleep tonight.
