so yea. the whole hornworm/chicken thing was terribly gross today-i'm sure i'll never be the same again. when i tried to take a nap a bit ago, i couldn't get the images of the hornworms being drawn and quartered by chickens out of my head. so very unrestful. just now, i went out back to turn the sprinkler on and found two more really big hornworms. i plucked them off the tomato plant and dashed inside. i was thinking that i might finagle dazee into doing THE DEED for me. so i shoved them into an empty peanut butter jar and turned to put them on the table. [insert loud scream here]. puppy, the dog we are watching this weekend, scurried over to see what was going on. maybe her family doesn't scream obscenities the way i do?
yep, one of them escaped death this morning, unbeknownst to me, and was chomping away happily on a prized creole tomato i'd picked this week. yes, that nasty wet and brown pile is bug shit, don't look away! FOR REAL, i cannot make this stuff up. i am so traumatized. i am over traumatized. all three went down the garbage disposal. fuck yea, they did.
