And the garden lord said, "And this is my most important commandment. Thou shall not get dust out of one's eye immediately after harvesting tabasco peppers." 🌶️👁️🔥😭 #gardening

Still one of my all time favorite Father's Day gifts. Still not sure if she didn't know she was supposed to put my picture in the frame or that there is something about Michael Buble that I need to try to live up to as a parent. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #parenting

Interscope records has been relentlessly hitting me with nostalgia based album re-release advertisements. I gave in but realized I am now going to teach my daughter all sorts of new forms of vulgarity. Parenting vs culture, the battle is real. 🤣. #music

I'm a little late to the party, but watched Perfect Days by Wim Wenders tonight. A truly beautiful film that is as close to perfect as you can get. #movies

I've been neglecting my duties in the garden and it shows. Had to say bye to two zucchini due to vine borers and another has a bad infestation of squash bugs. That said, the garden is producing nicely. Best harvest tonight of blackberries yet this year. #gardening #oklahoma

To all my fellow bicentennial babies out there, be proud to know that we have been alive for 20% of the United States' existence. No need to thank me for that fact. #July4th

Starting to get a little spicy in the garden. Squash bug war is heating back up, but still no plant casualties. 4 adults tonight, but 2 in flagrante delicto. #gardening #oklahoma

Took my daughter to see Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory in the theaters tonight. Still slightly disappointed to raise her in a world without Gene Wilder in it, but I'll do the best with what we have. #movies #genewilder

Evening Anecdote from 1929 by Andrew Ross Sorkin:

After completing a set of impersonations on stage, Chaplin took a seat by Churchill, who asked about his next film role.
"Jesus Christ," Chaplin said with a mischievous look.
Churchill waited a beat, then asked, "Have you cleared the rights?"

I love a huge harvest as much as the next guy, but I really enjoy the variety picks during the seasonal transitions. Finding little surprises hidden around the garden is a such pleasure. Had some storm damage, may have lost a zucchini, but I never regret rain in Oklahoma. #gardening #Oklahoma

We lost a few sunflowers in last night's storm, but the Zinnias seem to have loved the rain. Don't worry, we have plenty of sunflowers left. 🤣 #bloomscrolling #gardening #oklahoma

I make dark light of my battles with the squash bugs but on mornings when I head out and fine such lovely vegetables, it makes it all worth it. #gardening #oklahoma

Fat Guy Weekend Cool Hand Luke Cosplay Report: Got a surprise delivery from getchipdrop.com and because it is supposed to rain all week I figured it was a dash to get as much moved in our many hydrology problem areas esp the big mud pit the dogs had made. Almost killed the pile.

We sadly missed an egg pod on our avocado squash. We killed a bunch of adults and nymphs, but we will see if the ones we missed can kill it. In the mean time, we harvested all that we could plus some zucchini and blackberries. #gardening #oklahoma

Squash Bug War Report: 3 adults, 2 egg pods, 10 nymphs. Total: 15. Yes, I killed them. The adults were soldiers. The egg pods were weapons caches. The nymphs? The tribunal calls them children. I call them future war criminals in soft exoskeletons. . . . #gardening #oklahlma

Squash Bug War Report: 1 Adult, 2 Egg Pods Too tired for story time, a simple harvest report will have to do. Getting some nice zucchinis plus a handful of blackberries daily. Onions are coming off the rack and harvested our first jalapeño of the year in nice purple hue. #gardening #oklahoma 🌱

Argh, the squash bugs are back after a couple of days of reprieve. Good news is though there are cute mystery melons and blackberries. 🍈 #gardening #oklahoma 🌱

Squash Bug War Casualty Report: Adults: 0, Egg Pods: 0 I know I'm lacking on Dad humor missives, but it seems we've come to a cease fire in the war. Two days now and only one egg pod to show for it. Going to go quiet until they return. I know they are out there somewhere. #gardening #oklahoma

The first of our onion crop is off the drying rack (though we've been stealing from it daily) plus our sad garlic crop for the year. Don't feel bad for us though, we got dozens of heads from a single bed last year. 🧅 🧄 #gardening #oklahoma 🌱

We've been getting a handful of blackberries everyday now, but it appears after last nights rain, we may soon be on track for a blackberry explosion. Jelly and Jam time! #gardening #oklahoma

Blackberries which are still red but ripening nicely.

Upon learning that we had harvested the very last cabbage for the summer, an overwhelming, undeniable Teutonic command came welling up from within me demanding immediate fermentation activities. #gardening #oklahoma 🌱

Had a productive morning in the garden. Got all the beds weeded. Said bye to some old friends. Harvested the last cabbage. Pulled our garlic crop which was pretty much a failure this year. Started harvesting the onions, which did great this year. Out with the kale too. 🧅 #gardening #oklahoma 🌱
