Well, here's a little funny pic for you today since I don't have any new photos yet. This was taken in Playa del Carmen at a restaurant - this was the big finish to the meal!!! I have my rifle and my bottle of tequila - they made pictures of all of us like that! (and those are not my fat legs!!! THey are stuffed jeans!)Well, let's see, hmmmmm, what can I talk about today? Well, just been busy at work mainly. I haven't taken any new photos of anything lately. My hubby was out of town over the weekend and I didn't get to spend much time at the farm. I guess I mainly just wanted to let you all know that YES, I'M STILL HERE. I've been reading some of your blogs, but haven't had much to say.
My anxiety reared its ugly head over the last few days, and I tend to ball up in a little knot and lay low and stay that way until it passes. I feel better today.
One good thing. Our little farmhouse was on propane and we converted to all electric, which meant we had this ugly tank in the back yard for the last year. Well, I ran an ad in the Thrifty Nickel and sold it today! They are coming to pick it up Friday!!! YEA!!! I'm so sick of looking at that thing. Right smack dab in the middle of the yard - what an eyesore!
In the garden, I have a mole or two. They like my potatoes, and have left several tunnels through the dirt. I've set traps but so far, they've evaded them. The carrots and onions are doing great. The purple hull peas are not growing very well. We've had a lot of rain, but I really don't think that's the reason. Dad and I bought all our seed at the same place, and I'm wondering if we got some bad seed - cuz he said HIS peas were not doing well either. Hmmmmm... The weeds are doing great, on the other hand! My cucumbers & tomatoes are finally beginning to grow. The local farmer's market has everything for sale already, but I got my garden out late.
We're hoping to have a big get-together Memorial Day at the farm with a cookout for a bunch of our friends from church. They say slight chance of rain - we'll see... I'm looking forward to it immensely. We've had a couple of people out besides family, but this will be the big "unveiling" to all of our friends who've waited patiently for an invite. They've all been talking about it for the last few months, and we decided we better do it before it gets too hot. This week, we are seeing temps in the 90's, I think 94 yesterday? Wow - a little early in May for that, but I'd rather it be hot than cold. I used to be the other way around, but it's wierd how that changes when you get a little older... but I'm not old yet, of course :)
Well, that's all for today. I've finished the pile of almonds here that I brought for lunch, so I guess I better get back to work. My husband comes and eats with me at my office most days and it's nice to see him in the middle of the day. Plus, it saves money bringing our lunch instead of eating out everyday like some do. Have a great day, all! Vickie
