Stuff

We watched Robocop last night. I have no interest in ever seeing it again. It had some neat parts, but it had lots of stupidity, utter incompetence, and useless visual violence and murder. Not a fan. And I do not recommend it. Perhaps the comic is acceptable, because the story is interesting as a whole… just not the details. Anyway…

A beautiful male cardinal landed on the new grill right after we got home this evening. At first, I was delighted. Then, he jumped behind the grill, and I rushed out the door, yelling at it. One of our small but now-fruit-producing fig trees is right behind the grill. Sure enough, that sucker had busted open and been eating the largest fig on the tree. As usual, the fig wasn’t fully ripe, but was close enough for the birds (but not to pick, because they don’t ripen after being picked). Very frustrating. So, hopefully we can get a net or something to put over the trees tomorrow. There are only about six figs (there were seven) total between the two trees, but I really would like to be able to have them. Firstly, I love fresh figs and haven’t had them in almost two years. Secondly, I love eating foods that we grow at home – super awesome and useful and efficient and encouraging.

Anyway…

God, help us with the figs, please, and free me of the nausea. Keep our baby safe and growing well. Keep me and my husband safe, please. Bless our family with your safety right now. Help us all to sleep well at night and do your will during the day. In your name, I pray. Amen.
