The Garden…..So Far
The first set of plants that we planted didn’t fare so well. This is round two and everything looks to be growing well. Glen and I try to go out and check on the plants daily. I even go so far as to sweet talk the plants. Hey….every little bit helps, right?
These are some of our peppers.
Zucchini…
Spaghetti Squash…am hoping this plant does well. I love spaghetti squash!
Some of our many tomato plants. We finally got some rain, but with that rain came cooler temperatures. Notice the many, many mushrooms/toadstools growing all over the place. Hoping all of our tomato plants do exceptional as well. There aren’t many foods that I love more than a home grown tomato. Plus, I am looking forward to canning.
The Creation of a Monster
Lilly is not an outside kitty for numerous reasons….
Glen started taking Lilly outside this last winter to see how she would react. He has continued to take her outside and recently set her down in the nice lush grass. She loved it. Now we have to live with her meowing/howling to be let outside. She has even resorted to waking us up at night. She has become a single minded beast. Convincing/retraining her is going to be painful for all concerned.
Mo’s Favorite Flower
All of us grand-kids called my grandmother Mo. She was an incredible lady. Her favorite flower was the iris, so every time I see one I think of her and smile.
Morel Hunting
My good friend Vickie came over this last Saturday and we ended up hunting for morel mushrooms. It was a glorious sunny, warm day, perfect for ‘shroom hunting. The only drawback to hunting for morels is you have to crawl through the woods to find them. Since it has warmed up so nicely the ticks were out in full force. I ended up with about 10 ticks on me.
This is Vickie and one of the first mushrooms that was found.
The morels were growing really big and looking oh, so delicious.
See what I mean by big?
Vickie got a nice haul of mushrooms.
Colors of Sunset
We have had a lot of rain/thunderstorms this last week. Besides beneficial rain, they have provided some fantastic sunsets.
Discovery
Took a walk around our property a few days ago and discovered these wheels. Need to think of something clever to do with them. It would be easier if I had any artistic or gardening ability at all. Will have to take a look around on pinterest 🙂
