Needed a little pick-me-up this morning, hence the color text. For some insane reason, I was up at 7AM today!!! What do I do now? This is by far too early for me..well....I could make a BIG breakfast for my darlin'.....or go out and see what the garden looks like at this time of day...it may not happen again for quite some time!! As you can see, I chose to check in on the old email...and found that one of my daughters has begun blogging!! So here am I....following her! My blog has been started since October of 2004 and has exactly TWO...count 'em...2....entries until today! I can do better than that, surely.
I am sitting at the dining room table, gazing at the smooth, not-a-ripple-in-it lake in our five acre front yard. Before my eyes can stay quite that far, however, I see that an enterprising little bird is trying to build a home on the fan blades of the fan on the front porch ceiling, just outside the door. Can't have THIS happen again...VERY messy...so I have turned on the fan to put the kibosh on THAT homemaking project!!! I know....I hear a collective AAAAAAWWWWW from all of you! You would understand if you were the one cleaning the table of cute little droppings every time you wanted to sit out there and enjoy the evening view! I moved their last years nest out to a tree for them...what more can I do!? Go, little bird, go....try a tree this year.
Last week, Russ and I cleaned up the 'square foot garden' we made and used last year. Ready for a zuchhini! Or something.... We will add one more this year...that will be three...including the one full of strawberry plants...kind of permanent, I guess! the others we will rotate, like the good little Master
Gardeners we are!
When we first purchased this 30 acre heaven, we used the corral out by the barn for a traditional garden patch...rows and all. Did not turn out well...the weeds just kept ahead of us...and of course, it seems like every time we plant, we go away for a week or so (like visiting my mom, or his sisters) and we come back to a jungle! So nix that for now...We let it go back to nature.
Well, I am getting hungry myself, now, so I believe it is time to rev up the old waffle maker!! Sizzle a couple of 'wild pig' sausage patties (from a friend...I don't do the hunting-of-dangerous-wildlife thing!) Soooo....
...see ya on the go 'round!
