I found this in the yard this morning. See the big unhappy mouth? That is where I stuck my finger in it to see what it was. I believe it was a pile of frost/ice/snow...whatever! I looked around and it was the only pile I found. Isn't that peculiar? Exactly why I had to document it.
Then there is this rose. When I look at the center of it...I see a heart. To me that is very special, since my birthday is Valentine's Day. I once rented a house JUST because it had heart shutters. The guy who owned it had been begging me to move in and I kept saying no. He said "Just go look at it". When I pulled up and saw the shutters I knew I had to move.
Here you see my artichoke. This had seemed dead. Now it is growing again. Plus...a friend came over and collected the seeds out of the dead head and we planted all six of them. So...hopefully I will get a lot more artichokes next year.
My lettuce seems to be doing quite well. It won't be long and I will be eating the red lettuce. Then the romaine and butter crunch. I guess I need to ask Santa for a greenhouse. Or at least a cold frame. That way I can grow all year long AND not worry about frost.
It is well into my 'busy' season...baking for the holidays, and canning for gifts. Plus...I started a new 'project' that has been taking a bit of time. I am not ready to 'share' it yet, but it explains my absence, lately.
Some of you got worried and I am still hearing about it. Thanks for worrying. Sorry for making you worry. I am making a transition of sorts. When I do that, it usually takes me a while to find my stride again. Now that I am older...it takes a bit longer than it used to take. I am sure there are some of you who can relate. All this sounds like excuses, so know I am stopping now.
On another note...Sis will be here next week. Whoo hoo!!! Just in time to help! Plus...we get to go play in the desert. We will have bunches of fun, too.
I feel like...'My futures so bright, I have to wear shades!' I could get used to this.
