Huh.

After the melodrama of earlier in the week, I am a little nonplussed to announce that my mother put in a bid on the Woods Hole house (against my advice) and it was accepted this afternoon.

If you hear of a suburban Boston matron held for questioning in a string of bank robberies, think of me.

Busy long day, mr. flea off at 6am for 5 full days away at a conference. Casper and I walked to the farmer's market and Stone Bros. and ate strawberries all the way home, then planted our haul: 3 egglants (Neon and ?Primavero) and a jalapeno pepper, plus 9 impatiens. And watered the lot. Interested to note that my single calla lily (which is yellow - they were supposed to be pastel pink) is attracting japanese beetles, the first I've seen here. Brandywines beginning to set fruit, and amazingly I still have some tiny carrot seedlings living.

Afternoon went to the pool by bus which worked very well but we are both a little sun-exposed. Casper went staright in to the water this time and we left only when she got cold.

Oh, I'm glad, for sentimental reasons, that your mom is buying the house.

Maybe she's been knocking over liquor stores, or she just finds lots of loose change in the couch cushions. Anyway, yay for the nuttyflea!mom.
