Nasty little Bastards!

Ok. So I’ve talked about being a farm wife. I’ve talked about gardening. I will be talking about preserving. I will be talking about preparedness.

RIGHT NOW, I’m going to talk about “preserving” my “garden.” I’m going to talk about “preparing” to SLAUGHTER these nasty little bastards that have invaded my beautiful garden! (FYI, there are only two things I REFUSE to do at the farm. One is carcass disposal. I don’t care how the critter died, or where, that is my Hubs’ job. It said so in our wedding vows! lol The second is dealing with ‘mater worms! Just so you know.)

Do you see them? Do you? Do you really see them? I HATE TOMATO WORMS!! They creep me out on level I can’t even begin to explain. Yes, I realize they are just caterpillars! But these little creeps lurk on limbs on my plants, hiding out like Jesse James. Sneaky! And it never fails that I reach for a ‘mater, and WHAM! there’s one just waitin’ for me!

I’m gagging!

I’m freaking out!

I’m yelling obscenity's I can not repeat!

Look at those beauties! Currently they are about the size of SOFTBALLS!

Roma’s for salsa! ohhhhh baby!!

But do you see what those nasty little bastards have done to my beautiful ‘mater?? Do you see?

They are munchin’ away on my gems. They having breakfast, lunch and dinner on the leaves. You can see above that they about eaten ALL of the leaves OFF!!

Ok. Gotta go! Creeped out or not, they die tonight. “Hold on chickies, momma’s got a plump juicy snack for you!!”

Family Fun Night at the park

“See mom, I’m excited.  Now lets go play  on the go-carts!”

Louie Loon even stopped by for a visit.  He is a riot!!  So much fun!!

Hubs and Lil’Dude took an adventure on the “bumper boats.”  Momma stayed on dry land.  But some how I still managed to get a little wet.  Hummmm, I wonder how that happened.  Wet fun was had by all.

Wait for our turn at the go-carts.  Momma kicked butt!!!  “If you’re not first, you’re last!” and “Rubbin’s racin’ son!”  LOL

 

 

 

 

 

 

Water war between Team Y and Team E.  My boys kicked butt!!!

(Hubs took a new job with a large design/build company.  It’s my understanding that every summer they have a “Family Fun Night.  This summer we were able to participate.  They rented out an entire family center for the employees to have for the evening.  We had access to bumper-water-boats, go-carts, mini golf, mini coaster, laser tag, arcade, water war, and indoor golf.  We had a blast.)

Happy Summer.  I hope your enjoying it.  Hugs from The Farm.
