too bad you can't use a ramp and roll it from the side of the field to where you want it - like playing marbles on a bigger scale...

Settling back in the lazyboy with my herbal tea after a breakfast of Corn Chex and a microwaved Cosmic Crisp apple. I ventured into family history. Someone has put a picture of my mother as an infant on the internet. I have never seen a picture of her as a baby but there she is with her mother and older brother.
The anniversary of her death is less than a week away. Eighteen years have passed – I can hardly believe it has been so long ago. It was a bright, sunny early March morning. Probably one of the first in the year that suggested the promise of Spring.
We had a day like that yesterday. I have some pepper seeds in the soil mix and will start tomatoes next week. Mom especially liked melons fresh from the garden. It's too early to start those. Let's see ... she was enthusiastic about the health quality of greens. Yes, I could start some of those setting out in the hoop house when I have that up and running in about a month.

we are off to the races here today already, have two pots of dry beans on to cook to make into baked beans.
then Mom is starting on some sweet breads or muffins so we went through a few lbs of walnuts looking for the shriveled up dried ones or bits of shell. normally i just do it but she wanted to help so we learned her something new. can't believe she'd never done it before, but perhaps she forgot. you never know when bits of shell can get in those and some people (including Mom) have dumped them in recipes without even looking (i know becuase i've gotten bits of shells in cookies, etc.).
i have beans to continue to go through today to get ready for the seed swap. since we are going to be going tomorrow afternoon to set up early for some of it i'd like to have these last ones gone through, but then i still have my collection i want to go back through and reorganize so i can take fewer boxes with me on Monday.
it's been a busy week. i'll be ready for a few days off after Monday i'm sure. several hours on my feet or sitting is always a challenge. at least when i'm home i can take a time-out and rest for a bit.
