I'm loving our Iris show this year because the blooms seem to have multiplied.
With color combinations like these, it's quite a show.
And, they're just getting started.
Bill is getting gussied up early this morning.
He has to go to town to appear on the radio.
Actually, he'll just be talking, so it probably doesn't really matter what he looks like.
If you go to the link above and click the live stream link, you can listen to him from pretty much anywhere in the world.
This is the week for the station's annual on-air fund drive.
Bill says he'll start talking and probably pitching for donations at 8:30 a.m. PDT, and he'll continue until 9 a.m. PDT.
So, give him a listen, and if you're so inclined, call in a donation.
They'll happily take money from anywhere in the world, so here's your chance to support the station.
BTW: I haven't heard yet, but it could be that Willie will once again participate in providing the Friday-morning news on KRFY this summer.
If he is announcing on Friday's, I'll let you know.
There's progress in the Lovestead green-bean growing program.
I planted a couple of rows on the west side of the barn a couple of weeks after I planted several rows in the fenced in garden.
The second planting came up, while the first had to be replanted because it must have been too cold when those original seeds went in the ground.
My manure pile garden has several little green rows with lettuce, chard, beans and dill.
So far about 16 potatoes have come up in my two spud plots.
The warmer weather is bringing it on, and that means I'm dragging the hoses every day, sometime twice daily.
Yesterday I put in several hours tidying up the fenced garden. It was getting really ragged looking with weeds growing where I have yet to plant tomatoes and cukes.
I also removed weeds around the rose bushes and put down straw (mainly to hide any upcoming weeds).
I also clipped thick green grass growing around the garden fence.
It's looking better but there's still more to do.
That's pretty much the way it is around here this time of year. The hours spent cleaning up one area allow other areas to get out of control.
Same is true for working outside. It allows the house to grow its share of messes to clean up.
So, it's a constant push forward trying to keep up.
But fun.
Time to get started on today's projects.
Happy Tuesday.
Do I like mustard on my meat loaf?
Yes.
I also love fresh asparagus picked from the patch and baked in olive oil with a little margarine and salt.
Get those tips almost black.
Yummy!
Food is always better when you've grown it and cook it right.
Annie was working her way through counties in Pennsylvania on a geoacaching adventure yesterday when she came across this scene north of Pittsburgh.
She figured she was in Amish country and wondered why the cart and horse had parked at a gas station.
Could have been a relief station for the occupants.
Buttercups are considered weeds, but I don't care.
They are pretty weeds.
Since we haven't had the place sprayed for two years, the buttercups have come back in a big way this year.
And, that makes me happy.
