Eva's a Cash Cow?
like any diva, she's likely to find a way to cause me to have to spend any extra I can get my hands on

That trainee is going to learn, life is sometimes hard and you have to put in the effort…….. or maybe not learn……
I hope they hire someone that can stick it out, learn the program and keep the job.

Most likely he was just waiting on a callback. My former trainee said that he kept talking about Olive Garden on breaks last week.
I was seriously miffed at first. We had several conversations Wed & Thurs about the schedule.. how excited he was to learn this... how he had worked for the company (different plant) years ago. The whole drive in Mon afternoon I was reviewing what I needed to focus on to get him through phase 1 as quickly as possible so he could start with hands-on.
His loss. Missing out on living the zombie life & spending hours & hours soaking in sweat-damp clothing.

The zombie life ain’t too bad… sweat cleans the pores of your skin. Shower and all those impurities go down the drain. See? Don’t you feel better now?

Even Eva has gotten a garden started this year.
I went to 3 different nurseries the last weekend I was off & not a single veggi start to be found. Wait... there was 1 cantaloupe plant at one. I had never realized that there was an 'end' to the availability of being able to poke something in the garden & see if it makes it.
She's tending 4 pumpkin vines I think. Four seperate vines anyway... could be a gourd of some sort.
Zoom in & look at her face.... smug! Standing there judging me because her garden is looking so good & mine is an empty bed.

In Lindale, we threw watermelon rinds to the pigs and sheep. The seeds came up the next year. We had free watermelon for several years!

I don't remember throwing any of her fall pumpkins in the paddock.... but the obvious evidence says otherwise.
We'll see.

I've got family coming to visit several times between now & the end of Aug.
I'll be spending this long weekend doing a whole house 'reset'.
It will never cease to amaze and frustrate me how 1 person can accumulate SO MUCH clutter & just general mess. It would make sense that the kitchen & bath need regular cleaning... I USE those rooms every day. And the living room & bed room should need regular tidying up.. even though I'm in there, sleeping and/or watching TV just shouldn't create clutter.
But the den? The dining room? Even the guest bed room?
Who else is living here that I don't know about?!?!

I have two plants growing in different fields 
. Thinking watermelon 
most likely seed distribution by chickens. I used to find lovely sunflowers growing in odd places, too. Stopped buying so many 40# bags of seed when prices doubled.
