What did you do in the garden today?

I've done those a couple of times in the garden... But I discovered I really had no use for them unless I had enough to turn them into powdered stevia... Since I didn't give them THAT much space, it was pointless for me to grow it.
I was thinking I could grow some by the mint...I can just grab a few leaves of mint & a few leaves of stevia, put them in my iced tea like that? Not sure it would work, probably just stick with honey. I do prefer stevia with coffee though, honey in my coffee just doesn't taste good, to me anyway.
 
A few days ago I saw turkey vultures circling. They are back.
Maybe something dead nearby? I've seen mine eating a dead deer carcass right beside Red Tail Hawks. I see them respectfully waiting on rooftop or tree if a Bald Eagle is eating, though. Here, I know my buzzards smell dead rodent from the Jiffy Corn mix with baking soda I put out near the coops. A good rat is a dead rat.
 
I recorded some hilarious videos of my son following his wisdom teeth operation. He kept trying to get the phone number of the nurse (he was 17, she was in her 20s. It was never gonna happen but he couldn't stop asking anyway...). Then he thought the fluffy clouds were hiding UFOs. It was quite hysterical.
They reminded me not to take any pics or videos -violation of HIPPA rules. Maybe just in the Dr office? But, she wasn’t loopy like that. I’m picking up scripts now, teen can drink/eat soon, which is good bc her stomach was rumbling when I left.

Wow, I guess they don't want an accidental recording of another patient talking?

Hey, if she has appetite that is good. 👍 Maybe ginger ale, if ya can find any with Real Ginger these days & not just food coloring & high fructose corn syrup. Chicken noodles soup was always the go to food for any recovery. Hope all goes well for her. The 1st 48 hours are tough, swelled up like a chipmunk face. I remember the idea of food getting stuck into the holes, where teeth used to be, really grossed me out. I was making sure nothing got down in there.

I also recall, they did not totally knock me out for my procedure, so I heard the teeth coming out...like pulling a tough 6 penny nail out, or a loud creaking door! Weird!
 
5 acres scarred
seeded and rolled
I estimate I've lost 30-50% of my grazing to 3 years of extreme and exceptional drought. The top soil has gone, and now we have erosion.
UNREAL.
I still need to put up a temporary fence to keep the boys out of their newly seeded bit, or I'll end up with 6 200 pound chia pets.
Sorry I was not laughing at the whole post. I was sad until you mentioned chia pets...envisioning chias made me smile. Drought most certainly does not. ❤️
 
When I was 6 they took my tonsils out, typical surgery they did whether ya needed it or not, back in the 60s. I recall knowing I was knocked out, sedated, but literally floating & able to see & hear conversations going on, inside my operation room, as well as down the hallway, & into the waiting room. I recall vividly thinking this has to be a dream! I saw my mom wearing my favorite color, like EE egg blue, a pretty outfit of hers. My dad was pacing, worried about me, and they were talking about getting ravioli (my fav dinner) and several Breyers ice creams, since that's what the doctor said would be good for the recovering sore throat. I also heard sounds, so floated down the hall, to see a stranger getting mad, when the vending machine stole his money & he didn't get his candy. That dude was really ticked off, he was rocking the whole darn machine back & forth. Many people gave him a wide berth walking by, he was really blowing a gasket over that candy bar! 😆 (stuff like that may scare others, but it makes me laugh). One of the nurses finally gave him one of theirs, just to calm him down & stop him from bashing the vending machine.

When I got my voice back, days later, I told Dad about what I saw & heard. He was wide eyed & speechless...apparently it wasn't a dream after all. Every bit of it happened.
Like astral projection. I have an ex that said he could do that - he would call his mom & tell her about the conversation she had the night before with someone. Mostly he liked to control his body flying & doing flips & stuff, not spy on people. LOL. :idunno

That sounds fantastic! You should so try it & let me know how it works out. 😁

Strawberry plants in the raised beds are gone, I think he pulled over 100. & then he stacked my GS for me, so my new strawberries are done. Yay! I left the bottom tier empty, I think I'm going to put onions in there to deter critters sort of like @urbangardengirl mentioned yesterday.

Oooo.... I love the red. Wish this had been an option when I ordered mine.

You probably know this... Don't let her drink through a straw.

My mom said when my dad had his out, he ignored this advice and got a "dry socket," ie, pulled the clot out. The open wound STUNK and healed very slowly.
