This is something I want to get involved in. My backyard is a jungle already, but most of the weeds are probably not native plants. It's going to take a lot of work before I can certify my backyard, I think. But bug me about it once in a while. It'll motivate me. I'm tired of all the lawn services in these rich neighborhoods around me pouring a lot of chemicals on the lawns and it running down the gutter into the ocean. Not good for insects, birds or my kids.

What a Whopper!

John handed me a Kit-Kat bar and I opened it to share with the kids. Gareth piped up "Angus has a Tootsie Pop." Sure enough I looked at the couch where Angus was watching TV, and there was a stick poking out of his mouth - he swiped another one when I told him he couldn't have one earlier. "I see you decided to have a Tootsie-pop, so no chocolate I guess," I told him.

"No, Gareth did it!" Angus shouted."

"Right, Gareth made you eat it."

Now the waterworks start.

"He forced me to!"

He's lucky I was laughing so hard, or he really would have been in trouble. As it was, I just told him to go to bed.
