The Garden War : Entry #10

"It is finished!  We have won!  The broccoli bed and peanut patch have been taken back!
There will be dancing in the street, feasts, . . . . and cake!  I've dropped my armor and adorned myself with robes.  For now and forever more I shall be known as The Warrior Princess.  :-D
Thank you to all my loyal subjects who kept the home fires burning: B, G, and E!"

"The war has been won!  Hallelujah!  I just want to take this opportunity to thank our reporter Mandy who has been embedded with our troops.  She has done a beautiful job blogging our every move.  [Aw thank Mom!]  On the down side, I don't believe my hero would be proud of me.  Total we lost 5 to friendly fire.  Maybe I'm not the general I thought I was.  :("

"So if I'm going to go down in history as one of the great American generals, I should probably have a name that lives up to my heroism.  :)  Paul says The Garden Warrior.  Hum, I think I like it!  Today we have had collateral damage.  Poor Mr. Worm, may he rest in peace."

"I've been concerned that the enemy is gaining strength.  They have a new ally: mold.  However, today I have also received a new ally: Clarissa.  Her job is to clear the battlefield when a city has been taken.   She is a wish-washy ally at best, though.  After fighting the good fight, she said the battle was too heated and she was turning to passivity.  Really though, she was an amazing help."

"Unlike my hero, George Washington, I cannot bring myself to fight in the rain.  I am not that brave; so yesterday we rested.
Today, however, after a three and a half hour siege, we took another city.  That is four cities taken, four to go.  After an internal investigation, we have determined that there were no friendly fire casualties; but I am sad to report that we lost one pea plant to the weeds.  :( "

"We have taken back the corn!  There were casualties I'm afraid.  Friendly fire.  Whoops!  :-P  Think of me as I go in for the peas."

A note from the heat of the battle:

"This week P (my dad) and I are fighting a war to take back the garden from the weeds.  We are faring pretty well.  The onion, tomato, and pepper battles have been won.  The corn and bean battles are looking good.  I'm afraid, however, we may have casualties in the pea battle.  We will see."
