it’s day 2 of the back-to-school-bonanza and so far, i’ve managed to get to the courts a little and study a little, and pack lunchy. we’ll see how long i can keep this up. my back is aching from sitting in lecture all day, and my neck is stiff and unhappy. the exercise hasn’t helped yet…perhaps i need a neck-specific stretching sport.

since i’ve been gone, bugs have invaded my plants. wormy wormy in my basil, wierdo-wasp in my tomatoes, and huge scary wasp [see photo] hanging out on my tree. apparently with a fat ol’ brown caterpiller. eew. there are a few other tiny flying things, but i’m not sure which are beneficial, and which are pests. unfortunately, wasps are supposed to be good for your garden– they eat the bad bugs. they also freak me out. i might need a high powered hose to water my plants without opening the screen door. ha!
