Her latest acquisition is a pitcher plant. She has to check it every time she comes to see if it caught a bug yet. Fortunately, there are not many bugs in my greenhouse, so I may have to go hunting for one. She starts school full time next week, and I am going to be lost without her here everyday. She has been my gardening assistant for five years now. :/ How quickly they grow.lesa said:
Mary, I hardly think you, or your granddaughter, are Ninnys. We have had extremely hot weather and almost continuous sunshine, that may have helped Ava's beans produce so well. I am hoping the warm spell continues well into the fall so I can get more cucumbers from the greenhouse. Ava can eat a whole pickle with her lunch.ninnymary said:
Ava has always called my wife Theresa Gay Gay. We have no idea where that came from so we remain Gay Gay and Pop.ninnymary said:No Jack, were not ninnys! Years ago, I had a preschooler who couldn't say Mary and would call me ninny. My daughter liked it and wanted Olivia to call me that. So in this house, were ninny and papa.

My son and his wife live several miles away, but both work in Troy where we live. They have been dropping Ava off on the way to work, and picking her up after work. Ava will be going to school with her cousin, who lives very close to her, and she will go to his home after school until her mother picks her up. So, going forward, we will only be seeing her on days off and vacations. It is going to be "empty nest syndrome" all over again, sadly.so lucky said:
