TGTF

Hi peeps! It's Thursday night. Tomorrow is Friday! Not much else to say. I guess that means that my life is boring?? I lOVE boring.
Nature:The end of the first season of my prairie is fast approaching. There are LOTS of weeds. I think I have been less than diligent whacking them down. Not sure what next year will bring. I have a funny feeling that it will be several years before I have a weed free, native prairie going on.
My kitties killed a bat in the middle of the night a few nights ago. Tupelo's rabies vaccine is expired so I had to send the bat in to be tested. Negative, whew! Health department was considering me exposed because it was in my bedroom and I was sleeping. In other words, had it been positive for rabies, I would have had to go through the shots AGAIN!
Cuisine: Next batch of kimchee is done. Really wish I could find someone who is Korean that knows how to really make Kimchee. It is amazing how limited the internet and books there are on actually making fermented kimchee. There is a blog about fermented food and I posted my questions about kimchee. It appears as though I am more educated on it than the people administering the blog! If you know anyone who is Korean, please direct them to me!!!
Water: Slept on Greg's boat out on Lake Winnebago last weekend. Plan to do it again this weekend. It is so sweet out there. Peaceful, rocking waves, sound of water, no mosquitos.
Went to Point Beach State Park last weekend and swam in Lake Michigan. Water was clear and cool. Sweet!!
Books: Just finished "The Living Reed" by Pearl S Buck. Very good. Historical fiction aboat Korea. Last night I started Nathaniel Hawthorn's "House of Seven Gables".
Music: dying for new music. Thornely's new album comes out next month. Haven't heard much good music this summer. Open to suggestions.
