Miscellany Monday

Random thoughts on this Monday morning.

1. Water or lack thereof -  I'm over it.  Tired of watering flowers. Tired of watering my garden.  My daisies look like someone took a torch to them. 

I had to post a picture of a rainbow......I'm concerned that we will forget what one looks like!

Wordless Wednesday: What are flowers good for?

Baby Birds!

This is what my flowers have turned into - homes for birds. Love it!

1. Don't know what type of bird laid these eggs? Do you?
2. Wren
3. Turtle Dove

Yes, I have been gone for a while. Family comes first....on everything. Maybe I'll be back next week sometime. Until then, don't forget to tell your family that you love them!

Miscellany Monday: The Big Catch and a little more

My randomness for this hot, humid, sultry Monday.

1. The BIG Catch - the largest fish caught at my grandma Harrold's farm pond. A whooping 6.5 lb, 21 inch long small mouth bass. The littlest guy caught it!

Going Green: What do you do with the Classifieds?

Mother Nature was little hard on my perennials this winter. I have many sections of plants that died.

And the weeds have taken over.

So, I'm going green. I don't feel like giving my flower beds a complete makeover. So in the interim,  I have come up with an alternate plan.

Wordless Wednesday: Nature's Beauty

 

Signs of Spring: Seeds & Bulbs

My seed and bulb catalog arrived in the mail this week and I was like a kid in a candy store. I love to garden, mainly flowers. I have wanted a few small, raised beds for years and that is my mother's day wish this year. (Hint, hint.....someone please tell my hubby!)

However, I need to buy my seeds, bulbs and plants before I can fill my beds.

Oh the things you'll see when you catalog shop!

Sunflowers. I'd love to be able to reach the sky like a sunflower.

Kohlrabi.....my crew loves the crisp, crunchy texture of this great veggie. We often argue over who gets the last bite.

Tomatoes.....I grew up eating tomatoes by the handfuls straight out of the garden. To this day, I still can't get enough tomatoes. And the salsa, I love to make salsa. In fact, I haven't bought salsa from a supermarkert in two years.

This year, I think I'm going to venture out to the world of the unknown - heirloom tomatoes. I have such a love for tomatoes that I'm growing restless with the traditional Beefsteak or Big Boy.  Why now try a Yellow Zebra or Oaxcan Jewel?





Or maybe a Green Zebra?
