my first fire fly

i saw my first fire fly in iowa tonight. it was kind of cool. one of the wonders of the midwest, i suppose. we didn't have fire flies in the northwest.
but we did have good wine.
my parents went to some arboretum today and bought wine nearby. it left something to be desired, mmm, okay, a lot. iowa wine = not so good. oregon/washington wine = very good.
iowa must supply north american churches with communion wine, because that is what this stuff tastes like.
i made dinner tonight. parmasean pork cutlett, roasted garlic new potatoes, and german cucumber salad. one of my finer works, if i do say so myself.
i have been quite engaged in homemaking and yardmaking. tonight's project was spreading cocoa mulch in the front yard. it looks quite good, and now the front yard smells like chocolate.
i now have cable. there's nothing on tv, though. i craved cable when i only had one channel in denver. now, i wonder what i was missing.
the corn continues to grow, in case you were wondering.
