Oh contraire. But I’m going to take a break from the professional bowling tour (I’m a groupie, you know. Go Pink Ladies!)
This weekend just looks so delightful. Raining and windy and….40? Gah. Time to stock up on comfort foods, methinks. I guess this will be the third week we don’t have baseball practice. It’s going to really start hurting them if they’re playing teams that actually get a chance to practice. We have a couple of kids who really need that time to work on the right way to swing the bat, etc. You can’t practice that when you’re at the plate in the middle of a game.
On the way out of the house I noticed something in one of the trees and went over to look. Ick…the entire thing is covered with gypsy moth caterpillars. It sort of freaked me out. This tree will probably be stripped bare by the time I get home tonight, and I didn’t have time to “do” anything with them. Not that I knew what to do, but I was thinking of just picking them all off and putting them in something and then blowing that something to kingdom come. Only slightly kidding.
My fear is them going after one of our “good” trees. This one is kind of the scrub that grows up in the uncleared area, so while I’m not happy, it’s not a big loss. But I have trees I want them to stay AWAY from, and I have to figure out how to make that happen (if it’s even possible.)
