Snap!

Things will be a bit slow on TVG this week. My mother was pulling weeds a bit too hard, fell back and snapped both her radius and ulna in half. The doctors had to bolt and plate the bones, and needless to say, she's out of commission for the next couple of months.

But, mom being mom, she was not going to let little things like broken bones and surgical wounds stop her from spending her vacation in Western PA this week, and I volunteered to help her out around the cabin while she's up here. I'm home briefly to toss up a few reposts of the ecology basics from the beginning of the year (I've been meaning to post them at the new site for a while now) and some other assorted bits, but I have to be back up there by the evening, and won't be back until Saturday.
