steady on

Here's one for you: gardening is like watching t.v. I read somewhere that t.v. characters are good friends because they come back regularly, never get angry with the viewer and rarely change...sort of like when I walk out to the garden and all those little plants are pushing up further and listen attentively when I talk to them. Steady on, I like the plants better than t.v.

Today when I went out, one of the cabbage plants was standing up tall and straight like it had just woken up, yawned and stretched to greet the day. Cabbage pictures will come soon... peas are just so cooperative, ya know.



Peas May 8, Peas May 15...thanks guys!




Rain barrel that is really just a holding tank for water I've collected at the spring where I get my drinking water. It hasn't rained here for a month and a half! The downspout that is going straight down on the left will be redirected to the top of the barrel when it actually rains...and after the roof of the woodshed has been washed a little to get the dirt and pollen and stuff off before water goes in the barrel.

My favorite radio dude is back in town, yay! Someone who plays a variety of music and speaks in a normal voice with no goofy affectations, ahhh. Thanks for coming home, Tim!
