Mom's been harvesting quite a bit lately. We've been getting mostly tomatoes, and the occasional cucumber. We might be getting squash sometime soon.
Going to mow the yard tomorrow. The front yard needs it badly.
Time for bed. *hugs*

orgulous • \OR-gyuh-lus\ • adjective
: proud, haughty
Did you know?
"In Troy, there lies the scene. From Isles of Greece / The princes orgulous, their high blood chaf'd, / Have to the port of Athens sent their ships." Thus Shakespeare began the Trojan War tale Troilus and Cressida, employing "orgulous," a colorful word first adopted in the 13th century from Anglo-French "orguillus." After the Bard's day, "orgulous" dropped from sight for 200 years; there is no record of its use until it was rejuvenated by the pens of Robert Southey and Sir Walter Scott in the early 1800s. Twentieth-century authors (including James Joyce and W.H. Auden) continued its renaissance, and it remains an elegant (if infrequent) choice for today's writers.
