AGAIN???

I didn't see the culprit, but I am willing to be it is a repeat of last year's earwig buffet. This summer has been every bit as rainy and damp as last year's and htat is exactly what mucnched up my plants last year. Bastards.
I potted up some new seeds inside today as a failsafe and am going to try to save the outdoor plant using an organic remedy that a lady on Ravelry said worked for her-take a cheap plastic container like the kind you get sour cream in, poke a few holes in the lid and then put in a mix of half soy sauce and half vegetable oil. Apparently the earwigs like that better and climb in andcan't climb out. Now, to find a plastic tub....

Canada Day
Yesterday was Canada Day,eh? So I did a quintessential summer thing on my day off. 
Baseball! Tampa Bay at Toronto. Toronto won. Yay! While there, I did another fun summer thing:
Beer! A requirement at a baseball game, no?
Then I took the train home, was felled my a migraine and slept for 13 hours. So most of yesterday was fun, anyway.

Palate Cleansing Knitting

Tofutsies sock yarn on ebony needles. Very nice. The Tofutsies is a bit splitty, so a soothing vanilla sock is just what the doctor ordered. Now if I can just turn the heel with no problems, I will feel competent again!
