Don't know if you can tell but this is a picture of what used to be my broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage.(all that is left is the stalks) It would appear that a big, fat,(and getting fatter) groundhog is gorging himself on my garden. He has even been brazen enough to move on to my lettuce, peas and green beans; although the damage to these has not been so extensive. I hope my dad either gets the sights fixed on his rifle soon or he pops off a lucky shot. He has taken to sitting at the bathroom window with his gun but has not gotten so lucky. He's come close and scared the poop out of the little guy. (literally just check out my garden.) My tomato plants have been safe so far (keep fingers crossed.) I did not invest the time and money to give this ground hog a years supply!!!!

The Common Thread
What do John Wayne, Bugs, and Brendan Frasier have in common? Gardening. Yeah, crazy I know. My brother has this little DVD player that is like a "Boom Box." He lets me borrow it when I garden so that I can "watch" a movie while weeding and not be so bored. I watched "Rio Bravo" (see side bar) and "The Mummy" over the last couple of days while catching up on my 4 weeks worth of weeding. I also got 2 mosquito bites. Not bad considering. I love"Rio Bravo". It is one of my favorite John Wayne movies. My mommy was a huge fan so I grew up watching them with her. I also love Dean Martin and I like Ricky Nelson and they are his costars. They perform a song together while they are "hold up" in the jail. Here is the scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBIKrDChgJc
