Slasher

Mah trees have been bushwhacked. It was really windy a couple days ago, and so when I saw one of my aspens all leaning to the side I figured it just couldn't take it. But closer inspection showed limbs all hacked up and there was a big scattering of leaves right around it. If that was the wind, those leaves would've been gone. And then Amanda says "oh yeah, you know the lovely little neigbor kids? Well they were running around with huge plastic swords yesterday playing 'tag' with Giselle and Harrison...and those trees were their base. Great. I can see it now. NO HIDING IN BASE!!! SLASH!!!! SLAAAAAASH!!!!! HARRRRR!!!! And then my kids screaming and crashing out through the branches while Excalibur cleaves the supple limbs into submission.

Barbed wire should do the trick.

I worked on my scrambled egg presentation today, with much thought given to the travesty I presented last month. I didn't sautee the additives, and went with the omelette technique to leave the color and texture as unmolested as possible:

And now a couple more gratuitous kid pictures.
