Mother's Day
Mother's Day was gorgeous! I have Sunday watering duty but the day was so pretty I didn't mind. It was doubly nice because the predicted rain never materialized. That's good, we need lots of sunny weekends this year for May! It is still running cold here, only 40 in the morning and yesterday with a brisk breeze off the ocean. We made a field trip to a local retail garden center last week and it was an amazing sight. (I don't get out much.) I watched a woman at a giant table of beautiful blooming geraniums as she specifically selected the smallest, no bloom, one measly bud! What is that about?
My darling daughter made me the most delectable lunch for Mother's Day. Home-made spelt biscuits with rhubarb & strawberry compote, sauteed kale with vidalia onion and some of our fresh eggs with a dash of fresh sage and gruyere, YUM! I ate 3 biscuits! We had a glorious long walk along the ocean. Then came home and I went off to spray the greenhouses! Not my favorite job but a necessity.
Truck runs all this week will give us the needed space to finish up the last plantings, this spring has gone really fast. Now compacted into 3 weeks of shipping because the weather has been so cold. The dang heat is still running!
