Daffodils

Lovely thing to see –
yellow nodding daffodils
like beams of sun to me.

Many hues of green
waken my spirit to spring,
scent of earth, fresh clean air
and songs the robins sing.

New Potato and Raspberry Plot

Broke new ground and extended the potato plot.  The new raspberries have been planted since this picture and the potatoes are in as well.  Mm dreaming of raspberries and yogurt.
Happy Birthday Dear Cookie. . . what a gift you’ve been given! 😉

Pollen on the back window of the car.  Looks like it was painted on with a soft brush.

Midden of Our Mind

A person strong enough to face the futility of most desires,
the distractions of most cultural values,
who can give up trying to be well-adjusted to a neurotic culture,
will find growth and greater purpose after all.

Hisnibs planted 800 peas yesterday, 16 new raspberry bushes and got the new potato bed ready to plant.  Middle daughter made a lovely rock and moss garden on their driveway.    I LOVE Spring!  Happy Birthday to my forever friend Ruth today.

 

 

 

 

Celtic Carrot

We mulched our carrot patch in the Fall and had fresh carrots all winter.  We dug up the rest this week and this was a special gift, a Celtic Knot.

Last Puzzle of the Season

Now the sun is out, planting guides are consulted and dreams of abundance fill our minds.   It’s been a multi-puzzle winter this year. Glad it’s over.

 

Top Of the Mornin To Ye

Shamrock from dad’s garden now in our garden.

Sláinte na bhfear agus go maire na mná go deo!

~Cheers to the men and may the women live forever

New Table

Hisnibs built us a new table from a cedar tree that fell down in a storm one year.  It was all one board.  Two planks glued together.  The tapered legs were from another  salvaged cedar tree.  It’s a nice size for our space and perfect for jigsaw puzzles.

Remember

No one should forget old friends and old goats.

Finished Another Puzzle Then Went Outside

We spent a lovely day outside today. Almost feels like spring though fingers got cold pretty quick.  I picked up and chipped branches around the trees Hisnibs pruned yesterday.  Mulched the trees with the chippings.  Moved a little stool around the garden so I could weed in the sun.  Felt good to get out and get some exercise.  Spring is almost here.  Haven’t seen a robin yet. . .
Happy Birthday to my baby girl. 😉

Visitation

Memories of Tigger intruded our walk through the trails today.
She used to sit, just so, staring off intently at something out there.

 

Life is Perfection

People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.
