What is it?

Boy- do I have a lot to be thankful this week.

Ged has been very sick but is recovering nicely. Thanks for good surgeons.

Evonne came and gave me a hair cut for the summer, and gave me a perm. A good one also.

The flowers and vegetables in the court made it through the oppressive heat this week.

No bad news from any of the family.

I could hear a lot better than the week before, because a a big gift from my dear sister in law.

Our health is holding-etc-etc.

But last night a prayer was answered when it lighting -- thundered and rained. Boy--does rain make a difference on things instead of watering. Every thing looks so good this morning.

Nothing else world shaking. Love you all.

HELP

Something is going on in the garden. Two days ago we planted 4 pepper and 4 squash and 4 tomato plants. In the evening after supper I checked the garden and flowers and all was well.

In the morning I checked the garden and flowers again. Guess what? All the leaves on 2 of the peppers where chopped off and lying on the ground. Not eaten, mind you, just chopped off.

Last night I covered the 4 pepper plants with plastic containers. This morning, guess what? 3 of the squash plants were stripped of their leaves and lying on the ground, uneaten. What is going on?

We put a wooden pencil by the tomatoes plants we set out this week so the wind wouldn't crack them off. We had one pencil left over so staked it to 1 of the squash. That one wasn't touched. May have to try putting a pencil by each plant, and wait and see if it works.

Some residents think it is the bird-some say squirrels- others say a bug. I say--let the night shift stay out there at night and keep watch over the garden. It only happens at night. Got any idea? The plants aren't dead, so they will come back but sets the garden back that much more.
