My tomato plants and parsley. They go outside on the back deck when it's nice and back into the vestibule when it's cold. Nice yesterday. Cold today. Who wears corduroy pants, thermal shirts and wool sweaters on the 19th of May? Me! Grocery is selling watermelon and corn -5 for $1.
The peach trees got unwrapped yesterday (my neighbor can now rest easy regarding her property values) and are bursting with pink flowers just starting to open. The Queen of Plums is also covered in opening blossoms. We are feeling very "fruitful" over here. Even my rhubarb--never one to thrive- is looking more ambitious than it ever has! Must have been the fertilizer. I pounded fruit spikes around the root line of all the fruiting trees. Even the beach plums.
Riley has just arrived and is now asleep on his bed next to me. He has his back feet covering his nose because he is feeling cold. We had a walk this morning and he was less active than usual. And then a few hours in the car for my trip to Goodwill. I got a small blue canning pot with steamer insert and the LID!!! So often, no lid. This will be for small dye/printing projects. In fact, we all three are feeling sluggish and sleepy.
I think I am going to do some more reading of my book-- tucked under my down lap quilt. No garden chores. I have promised to actually cook something for G for supper. Pasta sauce with sausage and mushrooms. I haven't done much cooking since I made that pot roast-- a few months ago? Seems like? And I might even make something other than a grilled cheese sandwich for myself. The fridge is really really empty.
