We will have a little eggplant this year! Remember we showed you the flower over a month ago! The keeper was checking on the plants this afternoon, and lo and behold she found the eggplant! Right now it's the size of a Roma tomato, so we don't know how much time it has to get to full size. I, Stassi, have been feeling quite poorly. It's my own fault. I was so excited to see the rainwater lying about in pools and in the plates under the pots, I had to taste it. It has so much flavor and tells sotries of dirt and bugs and hints of other animals. Not at all like the purified water in our dishes or in our cat water fountain. The up side of being sick is that the keeper poaches chicken for us both. Alice doesn't need it but we know that she will steal mine if she doesn't get her own.
The keeper left for a Mass tonight in Issaquah, and said that the traffic to get there was a crawl. We could have walked faster on I-5, she said. But on I-90 coming west this eve, she told us that the Olympic Mountains had become violet and the clouds on the horizon were fushia and it was pure delight driving home, as if returning to us wasn't enough!
