Oh, I should mention again that this is Dave writing.First, I could never draw Amber well enough to do her beauty justice. So just image the most beautiful woman you can here.
***************
And now for some explanation! We conquered the garden on Labor Day. It had simply gotten out of hand. I drew the spider, because there were no less than eight of these monstrous beasts holding our harvest hostage. I actually used our old vacuum to suck them all up, and then disposed of them discretely. You may say that that's inhumane. I say they're inhuman.
In all honesty, it was more a matter of safety. The overgrowth had attracted bugs, spiders, and even mice. Since our neighbor recently found a young rattlesnake in her yard, we decided to try to discourage snakes from exploring our yard by taking away their food source.
On a brighter note, we're now up to 11 watermelons on the vine, which vine has taken over a full corner of our yard.
And on a more personal note, I hope that you enjoy my 'tweets' on the corner of our page here. I try to keep them witty, relevant, and enjoyable to read. It's all in preparation for building a community around our upcoming webcomic. Stay tuned!
