Grasshopper Rescuer
Today in my English class we were talking about animals and what makes them cute. The class agreed that insects and fish aren't cute, but I think that fishes (I don't care if there's no such thing as fishes...) are cute. People said bugs are gross and I said well you all like ladybugs don't you... I think weevils are especially cute too. Then it just so happened that when the bell rang and everyone had left I walked out and spotted a grasshopper close to the ground. I was worried he was going to get stomped, he was old and grey. I tried to scoop him with my hands but that wasn't working then someone passed and told me he was poisonous (ha ha) I finally got him scooped up and relocated to a grass/tree area so at least he wasn't in a high traffic area. He was cute too. My teacher said something about squishing defenseless bugs and I made a comment about babies being like bugs, I guess no one got it. Oh well.

Oprah and my garden
I really don't understand Oprah. She has weird shit on her TV shows . I've never watched her shows until today when I watched a 1/2 of an episode, and it was just weird. I also think that she looks like a poop. Either way, this is just what I think, you shouldn't agree with me. I, aye, eye! Whats going on I don't know. Today I did a horse picture for my art concentration, it looks pretty awesome me thinks. I need to finish 1/4th of a breadth and then do 3 horse pictures, and I need to add a background to the one I just did and I have... until the 4th or something. I don't have a whole lot of time, but I have enough time to finish. Also today my mom was like oh were going to have to take out the pea plants so we can make room for the new cucumber plant I bought. I'm like wtf, the garden can't even hold a freaking cucumber plant, those get enormous. Then I talked her out of it, only to find that she couldn't resist getting 1/2 a dozen cute little baby tomato plants. We have 2 tomato plants already in the ground out there. Now were going to have 6 baby yellow pear, and one heirloom. And there is another out there that we 'don't know what it is'- It's a yellow pear, my mom is in denial. I like big meaty tomatoes, not little dinky pear ones. Also in case you wonder I also have romaine, butter crunch, purple cabbage, strawberries, snap peas, carrots, radishes, beets and a pepper plant out there. I also have 1 very mature radish plant that has flowered and is attraction a plethora of lady bugs :D. My mom bought another pepper plant too, and I'm a little upset because she wants to kill the old one to make room for the new one, but the old one is happy there and it wouldn't be nice to kill it so I tried to convince her to let it live there for a little longer. I think that's it, that was a lot.
