Last week, we were walking around in slushy mud. Today we are planning for 85 degree weather!
I swear I can hear the plants (and weeds) growing.
I compare it to putting on a play. The preparation is a busy time and you are are anxious to get going - then the play starts and WOW! Busy, busy, busy.
Now that the sun is out, I can see what a mess my yard is in. I've been trimming bushes and pulling weeds and moving things around all morning.
Marvin has been planting root stock. Root stock is the "bottom" of a fruit tree. The quality of the fruit tree is largely dependent upon how strong and healthy of a rootstock you begin with. We belong to a group called the California Rare Fruit Growers Association. They recently obtained and sold some really great root stock. We purchased 200 of these at a very inexpensive price. We will plant these and allow them to grow all season. Next spring, we will graft healthy scion (buds) onto them to add to our fruit orchard.
We had guests for dinner (actually they brought the pizza) on Wednesday night. We were outside just after dark. When we came back to the house, there was a baby hummingbird eating from the cape honeysuckle plant by the front door. The picture above looks like a moth, but really is this hummingbird.
The other picture is one of the baby chicks. My sister Colleen has named him Elvis. There are actually 3 of them and they are sooooo cute.
Last night we went to the Bradley School for a free spaghetti feed. As you can see, our grandson Landon REALLY likes spaghetti.
Time for me to head to town to pick up supplies and take egg cartons to Cliff. He is my 84 year old step dad. He separates them and puts the labels on for me.
Have a wonderful day!
