| This week's harvest! |
Whew! What a busy meeting. First we heard a very informative report from one of our members, telling us how a snake sheds its skin. (I brought a snake skin last week.) It secretes a milky substance between its body and the skin, rubs its head on a stick and splits the skin before it wriggles out. The milky substance covers its eye while shedding and therefore cannot see while it is shedding. Interesting--we all learned something!, Then we learned about a beneficial insect, the praying mantis. We had actually seen one in our garden. We were served tomato pesto (made from the tomatoes in our garden) and crackers by the Assistant Librarian at our
library. Yummy! Then out to the garden for our harvest. Lots of tomatoes and peppers. The sunflowers are huge now!! The children watered, watered, and watered more. This heat is brutal on the garden. All in all, a very successful day!
