Summertime and the Blogger is Lazy

Lazy about blogging but not about gardening, cooking, and art. Part of a group show at the Washington County Arts Council Gallery in Hagerstown. Happy about the peas that survived the rabbits, the delicious spinach, the wonderful new potatoes and the glorious sunflowers. The garlic and onions are pretty spectacular too. Rain is to thank I think. The rabbits did demolish the swiss chard however.

Thrilled to have my daughter and family with us. We really celebrated July 4th with a good part of the extended family here. Just wonderful. The weather was so grand that I didn't miss the DC Fourth at all. Here it was sparklers, delicious food, good fellowship. And we watched the fire works on PBS.

It's Spring Again!

This year my vegetable and flower beds are in better shape thanks to more careful fall cleanup by my daughter and son-in-law, and of course my grandsons. I've added some mulch to the beds and started some seeds. The little green guys are sticking their heads up and soon there will be daffodils. I already have enjoyed the white snow bells and the brilliant but tiny blue scilla siberica. I'll put my peas and garlic in next week when the soil dries out a little more. The Philadelpha garden show was definately an inspiration even though I know I'll never have the displays and elegant designs they featured. It does make you aspire to be a better gardener.
