Hunting in Heels

STORY TIME!!!!

So lately I've been messing around with the name for my blog and I was walking down memory lane and I remembered a pretty funny moment.


Last Season, which was around Oct/Nov I had planned on taking a week off of my mundania life to go hunting out at my Uncle's property. And then I got a text message from a very close friend of mine verifying that I was going to her college graduation on the evening of the Friday that I was planning on leaving! Uhhh...oops! I had totally spaced it!! I'm sure no one has ever experienced THAT feeling...anyways! So I ended up getting dressed up and went to her graduation at 7PM. The Ceremony was over by 9 roughly. And I still have an approximately 4 hour drive ahead of me. And I should be up ready to go hunting between somewhere in the range of 5-8AM. Oh yes! I am simply THRILLED at this! So I get to my Uncle's place around 1AM and everyone is still up. And I walk in, decked to the nines, skirt(which is extremely rare for me), make-up, and heels. And as I bring in all of my stuff in from my car, I kid you not, my Aunt asks me, "Are you going hunting in those heels?" I bust out laughing and so does my Uncle! But he was more on top of it than I was and quickly responded, "You bet! She's easy to track that way!" to which I reply, "Yeah! You just gotta look for the sink holes!" So ergo, Hunting"N"Heels!


And for those potentially lingering questions, No I did not actually go hunting in my heels and yes I did have my hiking boots to go hunting in.

Gardening

So about a month ago...I got most of the garden weeded and planted! Yay!! This year we're actually trying to have a successful garden. Unlike last year, which was successful in the fact that we only had lettuce and tomatoes grow, but hey! nothing died at least right? So this year in our produce garden we have Carrots, Corn, Beets, Beans, Peas, Chard, Butter Lettuce, mixed Lettuce, Cucumbers, Kolhrabi, and Onions. And in our herb garden we have Mint, Rosemary, Parsley, Oregano, Queen of Sheba and Thai Basils, Cilantro, Chives, and Lemon balm. Also, against my will, I am growing Fennel. I try and try but I can't get it out. I've dug out roots the size of my arm and the stupid stuff keeps coming back. So if anyone has any fool proof way of getting rid of Fennel and Morning glory, without using some modern form of Napalm, I would really appreciate it!
