Here Lies....

Here lies the last crop of my summer gardening.

No need to feign excitement; the smallest one is about the size of my pinky knuckle!  I attempted container gardening this past year and it flopped like my first attempt at cooking an angel food cake....flat.  Next season I'm buying produce from the market.  It will be cheaper and save me from moving the dang containers around to follow the sun.  Too much work and not enough satisfaction.  Enough said.

Everyone at work is getting excited about "Bedlam."  That's where OSU and OU square off in football.  Like UT beating out A&M on Thanksgiving....by ONE POINT!!!!  Whoo hoo....go Longhorns.  So I'm really not excited about Bedlam.  I mean who cares if OSU beats OU or OU beats OSU, but it is bedlam for sure.  At my place of employment there are more OU fans than the 2 or 3 OSU fans.  It's fun, though.  Good-natured rivalry is fun.  It's when it turns to violent testicle-cutting mayhem that this Strawberry has to ask "What the Hell?"  I'll tell you about that story some other time.  It is time to go to work.  I am wearing an orange/ red ensemble to work today, but I have burnt orange socks and my UT tumbler.  I also made a nice red and orange pasta salad-- Bedlam Pasta.  Oh, I didn't mention, we are eating too!  I love rivalry.  We have good "poking" fun and "sooner" or later, we eat!!!  What's not to love.  In case you don't get my puns: OSU's motto is "Go, Pokes" (I don't know why? It's Oklahoma, what can I say?) and OU's is the Sooners.  OU's has to do with the outlaws (illegals?) that came across the KS line early during the Land Run!  So there you have it.

Here's my salad.
