And yes...I did takes this shot through the peas because James' beastly Camaro was in the background.
BUSTED!
And a little in shock, as James has promised the Camaro to Preston for his 16th Birthday!!!
Which will be awesome!
But everything is up, green and looking good.
Walked in Tuesday to this Apple Cinnamon Roll Bake as Nicole and I had coffee and chat. Since it was a rainy day, we decided to make good use of our time and spoil Aden and greet the new kitten...discuss new finds on Pintrest...and bake things.
You have to have a good Plan B.

So, the garden is going great and already snipping fresh herbs.
The potatoes are growing like crazy...and we've tucked potatoes in every spare
un-planted spot now. The kids will have a great time digging them up this Fall after everything else is grown and picked.
And Pole Beans that will cover the trellis this summer.
Our tomatoes and peppers are ready for cages and despite the cold and rain they already have yellow blossoms.
A few of our strawberries have tiny white blossoms too!
Some of the cutting garden is up...the tulips now gone and lilies, irises and gladiolas breaking through.
Have Red and Yellow varieties of Honeysuckle coming to eventually cover the shed, and a Blue Clematis that arrived just today. It is going to be grown in the re-purposed skeleton of a wooden screen door strung with twine for the vines to climb.
The hot chilis and ghost peppers are thriving in pots way way way away from our garden spot and green sweet peppers. Out back on "Hot-As-Hell Island"
Since the rain came again( and the house was chilly and the baby was down for his nap)...we decided to BAKE some more. A loaf of Cheese Bacon Bread to go with the Rubbed Pulled Pork for Dinner later.
So much FUN to create with someone who enjoys cooking as much as I do...
Before...and sprinkled with Flat Italian Parsley (from our garden) and crushed chili peppers.
And After
Even got to visit with Emma and Brenden when they came home from school just before I left. Emma and I are planning a "Mall Day" together in our near future, and Brenden and I, are going to have another Grandma Rose Day as soon as baseball is over.

He is awesome!!! Just like his Dad (and Preston) used to play :)
So...
"YUGE"...and California looks VERY GOOD.
Kentucky was an absolute nail biter...at midnight it was still too close to call. By morning it was Hillary's by 46.7 to 46.3 (a sliver of a percent)
Although Oregon was a great victory and obviously netted Bernie more delegates...psychologically Kentucky was just as important. In 2008 Hillary won Kentucky in a landslide. This year, she fought tooth and nail for just half the votes...and it was morning before the race was called. That, in itself, says a LOT.
Several of the Super Delegates have already abandoned ship (and two more over the side today) diving for a Bernie Lifeboat. Hopefully by the Philly Convention they will see (much like they did in 2008) that Bernie will be a more viable candidate against Trump, and choose wisely. Even fleas eventually leave a dead rat...okay?
One can hope.
I seriously believe an adherence to Hillary this time will ensure a Trump Presidency.
Time will tell.
Back to our Virtual Travels Tomorrow, and British Slang!
