Did you have fun outdoors today?
Comments (22)This weekend has been awesome. It's the first real gardening weekend I've managed this year! Either the weather or gigs have kept me away up til now. My parents were in town and they had a great time watching me and DH buy stuff, put in stuff, weed stuff, etc. And they have more gardening experience than us, so it was fun discussing plans with them and having them tell us that we're doing well! What we did: Weeded lots (the weeds sure loved the three weeks of rain we've had!) Pulled out grass to create a bed under my lilacs (I just stuck bulbs in last fall coz I was lazy, now I'm regretting it as I have to carefully yank grass out from around the plants--frittilaria and grape hyacinth--without yanking the plants). Have a ways to go with that bed, but made a lot of progress. DH mowed the lawn and took apart the scary riding mower and changed the fuel filter and sharpened the blades. He also pruned back lot of the small trees--especially the nasty honey locust trees with the evil pointy thorns that jump out and grab you if you go anywhere near them (I *hate* those trees. I really want to take them all out and replace them with something else but I havent managed to talk DH into it yet.) Planted out allysum, clematis, bleeding heart, hellebore, one black iris ("Before The Storm"), Nemesia, something I dont know the name of (orange petals, blue center, kindof daisy-like in look). Bought hanging baskets: terracotta million bells, purple petunia and something white and something lavender mix. Made railing planters: white petunia/red million bells/blue lobelia. Saw the first hummingbird of the year! Yay!!!! Bought Bayer's Rose and Flower spray to treat the lilies for red lily beetle infestation. I'm going to treat them until they get to full buds and then stop before they flower. I'm hoping that that way I'll get rid of the beetles before the spray would be killing bees as well. Sat on the deck swing for the first time this year! Mom hung out and identified all the birds. She's President of her local chapter of the Audabon society (in Putnam Valley NY) and had a blast. We have a LOT of birds on our property! So cool!...See MoreIf you have a good thought today.
Comments (21)He took a turn for the worse, I am here staying at DD's. They drained over a liter of fluid off and it will be analyzed to see if it is from the pneumonia or the cancer that is causing the fluid. Sounds like it can come back in 3-4 days. They have him on a "bi-pap"machine to help him breathe he says it helps but holy cow does not look fun to have this face mask strapped to your head and neck. Going to the hospital by 7 tomorrow morning. Need to catch the Heart and Lung doc. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers, they mean alot to me!...See MoreDid You Accomplish Today What You Thought You Would?
Comments (14)Mission(s) accomplished: -got up, took dogs out, changed bed, put sheets in washer, went to grocery store, went back home, put sheets in dryer -went to work, on morning break returned a pair of pants and bought lottery tickets -on lunch took dogs out, made two batches of apple pie filling, folded sheets -back to work, paid parking ticket on afternoon break -hair done right after work, plus eyebrows -dogs out again, grocery store AGAIN so I won't have to go on Saturday (main purpose in the morning was to pick up apples to make filling at lunch) , ran dishwasher while making two apple pies, unloaded dishwasher, did the hand dishes and cleaned up the pastry mess, took the compost out, did a couple of little things in the greenhouse -waiting to watch movie with son and his girlfriend. *Btw... I was a little frazzled and took a gulp of egg wash instead of the peach juice I meant to drink. Yuck....See MoreWhat did You Have from the Garden, Today?
Comments (55)Chili. Yeah, it froze this morning. Lovely blue skies now. Up early so it's lunchtime. Chili. I know that the Rattlesnake beans are good. What I will be trying next are the Burgundy Bolitas with the same seasonings. I've tried them once just in beef broth. Only so many seeds - only so much room in the 2016 garden - do I want Burgundy Bolitas next year, or not? Time for me to figure that out! This is so much fun. Yes, I know, dry beans are cheap. Got any of the aforementioned in your neighborhood supermarket? I . don't . think . so. Is this anything special? Well, I don't know. Tell you what, this chili has carrots and celery root in it, besides the beef and veggies that went into the broth. Nalley top that for nutrition? I don't know but I'm ready to go out and dig dahlias! Catch ya later Steve...See More- 8 years ago
