So much for gardening yesterday...
The only way it would have worked is if we would have had a water buffalo and a sack of rice.
Rained for most of the day.
Undaunted, Nicole and I poured over the Cox Flyer (gardener porn) and marked our April purchases-to-be...diagrammed our existing space and placement and things we will still need to get together...tomato cages...bean poles...more soil.
The rain did show us what and where needed to be built up...filled in. So the timing was pretty good. And the garden is going to be amazing.
Herbs of all types, horseradish, garlic, onions, potatoes, carrots, sugar (Snow) peas, beans, cucumbers (both to eat and pickle), green red and yellow bell peppers, banana peppers, ghost peppers and chili peppers to braid (way away from our garden spot) corn, tomatoes (Beefsteak and Roma) Kohlrabi, Assorted flowers and such, and in the kids plot by their tree-house...Popcorn and Sunflowers.
The Grands were home for Spring Break...so we were able to enjoy the day with them, as well.
No...I didn't VOTE in Iraq.
We dyed Easter Eggs
We had coffee and brunch, played cards (War and Slap Jack) with the kids, planned our garden day next week when the kids are back to school with a coffee and new Lemon pie recipe that Nicki found. (oooohhh...gardening...coffee and new recipes to try together!)
Later last evening when James made it home from work we listened to him play guitar...and Nicole fixed a big country dinner (delicious) and we all watched Mark Walhberg and Will Farrell in Daddy's Home together. Very funny stuff.
A great family evening, and our Easter (time) together.
Chris and his new love interest together this weekend to see
Yeah...yeah...so my money's on the Bat-Dude.
And they have discovered they BOTH love to cook so they are planning a huge home-made GREEK meal for the weekend! Including home-made Baklava!
They have also been binge watching the Hannibal Series.
(...note to self: If they serve meat that I've never seen before...I'm going to pass...)
"If I TOLD you what it was...you probably wouldn't even try it."
I'm sitting this one out this year, however, by choice.
I picked up a great Collection of Peter Straub Short Stories, have Ham and Yams and Asparagus and Devilled Eggs. Good coffee and Baking Pastries, painting and writing and maybe continuing more of my Virtual Portugal travels (the month is almost up)...and peace and quiet and candlelit baths. Just wanted some rest & solitude. Which, to me, is sometimes like AIR is to other people.
Life is good!
A bit of a warm up expected next week. Hoping that Sunday is warm or the grands will be "Bobbing for Easter Eggs"
Excited. Tomorrow will be the Hawaii, Alaska and Washington Caucuses.
Very much expecting Bernie to "Bern Them Up!"
We will see!
Nationally, he has pulled ahead of Hillary by a slim percentage point. Two of her previous delegates have already plunged from the burning (berning??) ship into Bernie's lifeboat. See what I was telling you about unpledged delegates? They are like wishy-washy kids that switch sides mid-fight.
Gabbard has already endorsed him. Warren has all but endorsed him. I am feeling pretty good about both of those, as well.
Have a Wonderful Easter Weekend!
And Go Bernie!
