Agricultural Entry for August 3rd Sunday Write

The Bloomington Writers Guild’s “Facebook page August Sunday Write challenge” came to my attention today, the 22nd, while I was at the Monroe County Library in the form of its first “answer,” by Writers Guild member Wendy Cartwright. So, brought to my mind (as well as having while there at least glanced at MC Shana Ritter’s prompts), I thought I’d best go at it while all was still fresh.

Thus, while still at the library presumably doing work, my entry for August may be a bit short:

3. How does your garden grow?

It grows quite well, thank you. The pitcher plant drowned two more only last Thursday, in fact, though the Venus flytrap’s looked a bit wilted lately. I think it may have sprained its jaw the other week, that night the herd of urban deer thundered through — venison fragments scattered everywhere! I’m sure you remember. But most of the other plants are absolutely thriving, especially those that prefer their food cooked now that we’re into these extra hot, global-warminized days.

Thus short, maybe sweet, at least well-fed like last month’s crow (see July 21, et al.), come and see Wendy’s entry as well on Facebook’s “3rdsundaywrite,” here, as well as perhaps others by the time this is posted.
