Beefsteaks and Jalapenos!

I thought about commenting about the current news cycle. But I figure anyone can go back and read my views on that, so why write anymore about it.

So, I heard my niece today having a temper-tantrum. Seems she was upset that her parents didn't take her with, when they went to the store. She was left in the care of her 18 year old sister, and the defacto resident uncle. Now being the kind, compassionate, nurturing uncle that I am, I went downstairs and just asked what all the fuss was about? Seems just by me asking, the tantrum stopped. I fulfilled my uncle duties today.

After this, I went out to a local establishment that has a garden section. Bought a pot, some soil, and two plants: a tomato and a pepper. When I got back, I walked in and my niece looked at me. I told her she better put on her shoes. I can not adequately describe in words the look on her face... even if I had a camera, the 2-dimensional image would pale...

For the next 30 minutes we decided where the pot would go, moved other pots around, filled the new pot with soil, decided where the plants should be in the pot, and then got our hands dirty digging.

So if they grow, survive, produce... I might get around to posting a picture or two...
