midnight in the garden of fair to middling

There are these huge ants everywhere right now. really big. Like almost beetle sized. Some have wings, some have lost them but not sorted out a spot yet. Sorting out spots is hard, for ants and for everything here maybe. Maybe not even just here...
i don't even know, i don't even care, it doesn't even matter.
That's what this weblog should really be called.
(I'm not sure if weblog is one word, but i think it ought to be if it isn't.)

I did some really excellent midnight gardening tonight. Well it started at 10:30 pm, which is admittedly not midnight, but since it ended post-midnight i think it is still an apt classification.
Anyhow most things are now in the ground/in pots under the man-made and highly artificial
protection of the poly plastic greenhouse patch. It's fairly undignified for a greenhouse (aesthetically of course...i intend the contents to be top notch), so i was interested to read that greenhouses have a real fancy dan history:

Originally on the estates of the rich, with the growth of the science of botany greenhouses spread to the universities. The French called their first greenhouses orangeries, since they were used to protect orange trees from freezing. As pineapples became popular pineries, or pineapple pits, were built. Experimentation with the design of greenhouses continued during the Seventeenth Century in Europe as technology produced better glass and construction techniques improved. The greenhouse at the Palace of Versailles was an example of their size and elaborateness; it was more than 500 feet long, 42 feet wide, and 45 feet high.\

500 feet long and 42 feet wide and 45 feet high eh Versailles? Fuuuuucccckkkk youuuuuuu.
I'm pretty sure the 12x6x8 wonder structure in our yard is way cooler than yours. And more active in the midnights hours due to our extreme geographic location. Suck on that France.

There is a show on satellite called Mom Show that is teaching its valued 3 am viewers (like me, obviously) how to make bracelets out of the tabs from popcans. And oddly enough discussing the difficulties of being from Ottawa and Quebecois people not respecting potential frenchness.
Now they're talking about personal trainers. Who is the target audience? I have no no no idea.
Not me.
