Westward Ho!

Heading off to Colorado tomorrow for the nephew's wedding. Need to pack and to get my outfits together. I have printed off instructions for the cat sitter and am waiting to see if the timed lighting for my tomato seedlings is going to work. The working cats are going to have unrestricted diets this weekend. I think I am too! Have loaded up my sketchbook, ruler, and pencil. I guess I can take photos with my phone. I'm hoping it will be a little bit warmer there.... Dang. The light is still on..

Flowers, Fried Clams, and Tomatoes...

Little Something or Others...

Well there is one more sign that spring has finally come to New Hampshire, (we will just ignore Friday's little snowstorm) the Haven is finally open. When you can get coffee frappes and fried clams on the way to Walmart-you know spring is here. Other than that we have some flowers popping up near the front door, crocus in the orchard, and I have finally started my tomatoes. This year I definitely want some paste tomatoes in order to make sauce. No more playing around with the gardener's variety pack. That's always lots of eating but no sauce tomatoes. So this year I am growing Black Krim for eating and San Marzano's for sauce. That and a flock of lemon gem marigolds 'cause I like them. They are nice and bushy. The chicken coop is coming along fine. The husband is fiddling with the mechanics of the hatch door and will move onto the run as soon as I move all the plants out of that one bed. Where to put them though...

Not Ready to Work.....

Let the Season Begin!
