2008-May-15 - Excuse the House....

Excuse This House

Some houses try to hide the fact
That children shelter there;
Ours boast of it quite openly.
The signs are everywhere.
For smears are on the windows,
Little smudges on the doors;
I should apologize, I guess.
For toys strewn on the floor.
But I sat down with the children
And we played and laughed and read;
And if the doorbell doesn’t shine,
Their eyes will shine instead.
For when at times I’m forced to choose
The one job or the other;
I’d like to cook and clean and scrub,
But first I’ll be a mother.

2008-May-15 - How does your garden grow?

Well, we’re getting potatoes in the dirt today….yay!  I think we’ve finally past the freezing temps overnight…in fact we are ’supposed’ to get a nice 80 degree stretch for a few days around here–won’t that be heavenly, after such a long snowy winter! 

What are you planting this year…and are you planting more or differently with the lovely economic picture out there?

Share, I’d love to hear about it–and has anyone planted their spuds in old tires? I am this year…and lots of em–so I hope it works well! LOL! From the many sources I’ve read about planting this way–it seems it’s very easy and yields great results!  I’ll have to post pics as we plant and post….lots of fun, we can’t wait for Summer here!

Happy Gardening!
