The Great Visit

The Great Athena has descended, visited and departed, :::sniff:::, though you have to enjoy what you can get. The family arrived yesterday (in the rain that wasn't supposed to happen--can you hear the hammering on the ark?) and stayed through this afternoon. They were all good guests and we only had one mishap--Little One decided to jump rope in sandals. The rope caught her sandal and she fell on her knee. No bandaid required. Athena's brood is older than mine, so it was interesting having teenaged boys around, let me tell you. I think I'm quite happy in this younger age bracket for now .

In other news, I have to research belly dancing and lawn care. No, it's not a book about a gardening belly dancer (though it could be interesting...) I used to work at a garden center, so that's at least familiar. Belly dancing...Well, I have a belly (ample belly). Does that count? An interesting fact: Buffalo grass is the only native grass to America and it's not suitable for lawns. NO, Kentucky Bluegrass isn't native.

That's about it for today. Not exciting, I know. Tomorrow I'll have something interesting to say.

The reason the native Americans domesticated sunflowers is in part because they didn't have any grains (grasses) to domesticate.

Corn (a grass), the only useful grain from the Americas, is from Central America. North America is pretty low on native plants worth domesticating for food.

Your plant freak commentary for today.
