IT'S ALIVE!

It's time for: "ONION UPDATE."


If you remember several blogs ago, I planted a red onion I found growing in my refrigerator crisper since Christmas.


Well, Stinky loves his new full-sun environment in the pot full of soil.








This newest picture was taken last week, but right after hurricane Barry's drenching the other day, it shot up even more, some three or four inches higher than shown here.


Even weirder are the onion's longest two sprouts, which move back and forth from day to day, almost alien-like. One day they will be crossed and the next they will point in opposite directions.

IT'S AMAZING!!!!!

OK, so I'm easily amused.

Stay tuned for more onion updates throughout the summer.

THE GREEN MEANIE

Every spring it surreptitiously flows over the land covering everything in its path with regenerating power.

It wreaks havoc for those who physically are unable to ward off its potent effect floating like a cloud of heavy dust in the air. Sneezing, stuffy noses and runny eyes become commonplace for them.


The green wave seeps into every crack and crevice it can find, hoping to start anew. Man-made home electronics often are reduced to a non-operating state after it settles in the inner workings of the devices. Car washing and table dusting are futile until it subsides.

But its life-giving force is what keeps the world turning.


And when you see the sprouts that shoot out the pollen like a cannon, you can bet that it's Mother Nature saying "gotcha" while giving you the finger.
