憎っくきダンゴムシ
2005/07/07 (木)

我が家の害虫被害と言えば、、このダンゴムシ!
植えたばかりのビンカの茎をどんどん食べて行き苗を駄目にしてしまいます。

裏庭の竹やぶ。
前回の竹やぶ伐採の後背丈が高くならないようにどんどん切っていくが
それでもものすごい勢いで広がっていきます。
この半分くらいに透かしてみました。

そうすると〜〜(笑)
竹やぶの裏から植えた事さえ忘れていた残り物のペアートマトが出て来た〜
一株だけ植える場所が無くて、丁度そこにドリップシステムがあったので(水が自動で流れるようになってる道具)
ものすごい悪い品質の土だったけど植えていたらこんなに大きくなっていました。
竹やぶで全然入れなかったし植えていたのも忘れていました。

また面白いメールを貰いました。

Life........explained

On the first day God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the
door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will
give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's too long to
be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten." So
God agreed.

On the second day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people,
do monkey tricks, make them laugh I'll give you a twenty-year life
span." The monkey said, "How boring Monkey tricks for twenty years? I
don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too,
okay?" And God agreed.

On the third day God created the cow. God said, "You must go to the
field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves
and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of
sixty years." The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to
live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other
forty." And God agreed again.

On the fourth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry
and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years." Man said, "What? Only
twenty years?! Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow
gave back and the ten the monkey gave back and the ten the dog gave
back...that makes eighty! , okay?" "Okay", said God, "You've got a
deal." So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and
enjoy ourselves; for the next forty years we slave in the sun to support
our family; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the
grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and
bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to
you.

後で訳しますね〜 

あっ、、訳すといいながら昨日は忙しくて訳してなかった。。
もういいか〜(笑)
新約聖書を面白く変えてある人間の一生の話でした。
笑えた。
