But the reason for this post is not to whine about kitchen renos. It is to whine about spam. I will be reinstating the 'prove you are not a robot' step (sorry, readers!) - thirty four comments in my inbox this morning, every one of them spam. This is not counting the dozen or so others that went directly to spam and I don't have to look at to verify whether they are legitimate or not. Most of the ones in my indbox are marketing for things I consider offensive, and I'm just not about to let them invade my life. So the ridiculous scrambled words are back in place.
I will never understand the mentality, rudeness and plain stupidity of spammers. Do they really get any sales this way? Are there really bloggers so gullible that they publish the comments and/or go to the websites and buy the merchandise?
Sigh. Now I'm going to be in a bad mood all day. Time to walk the dog. Or smell the roses.
Watch the
Or pick some homegrown tomatoes.
Time to find some balance.
Maybe the spammers should do the same.

Oh those cheeky crows! Hope they left you some fruit.
This is what comes from being a popular blog. You know I'll still be commenting, whatever :) If you don't post again before your vac, have a good one! X
Those look like lovely pears!! Do you know what variety they are?
Erika, they are actually in my neighbour's yard - I just call them "Monica's Pears"! :)
But I think they are Bartletts. When they are fresh on the tree, they look so much nicer than they do by the time they get to market (and taste better too!).
Just adding this as a comment - Eddie and I are on our road trip, and I have been unable to find a wireless connection or to make new posts on blogger from other people's computers. Will try again at the next stop early next week, otherwise see you some time in early October!
Darn technology anyways!
