Ahhhh, Spring is Sprung!
As re****ted earlier, I was highly encouraged by the sight of several
dozen honeys in the apricot tree last week *and* the plums that are
blooming now!
Shoot mon, we beatcha on temp today....74F! Sadly though, we are
heading down for a while, with frost danger predicted for a couple
nights!
Sigh, we get what we gets, eh, old buddy?
One son and I went out and picked up a few goodies today. Stocks were
a little low, and out when we left the store. ;-) Kinda fun to observe
others carts....the herd ain't movin' here yet, but a few have their
heads up sniffin'.
I've radishes and onions and peas and lettuces and beets crowning and
showing the tops of their little heads. I be gettin' a watery mowff
just looking at them!
I thinking I am hearing them catfish mewling too. It's approaching
time for The Annual Clan FishFest...we have a new little feller to
initiate!!!
Keep On Truckin'
