If you have an asparagus bed, the 5' tall things in the fall ARE the asparagus! I do try to get in and pull out the grass in the spring when the shoots start coming up but after you've eaten what you dare and leave the rest to feed the corms, the weeds don't cause any trouble, the fronds are feeding and they are above the weeds.


I've had fiddleheads a time or two. For the price at the store I can certainly skip them, not all that wonderful to my taste buds.


She looks like she's doing well, I guess the port went in OK? When does dialysis start?

Tommorow!

Snowing here... just put my feet up after plowing for hours.

Blah. My bum knee and arthritic hands make plowing way more work than it should be.

Nice pictures for ya though:

Car at the renter parking lot that I forgot about and almost hit

At the church parking lot

Church pond, and extra parking in case people can't drive up the hill

My pond

My pond with the pond coop (empty at the moment)

That is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

*sigh* I guess I just don't drive fast enough for some folks. Does that mean I'm getting old?

Doing about 40 mph down a twisty, built-up section of a road with a school, a gated community, blind corners and a speed limit of 45, I look in my mirror and could just about tell you the eye color of the driver in the full-sized pickup behind me. Now, I know he wasn't trying to read my bumper sticker, 'cause I don't have one. When the road straightened out, I moved up to 45, but this clown was still a lot closer than I liked. We drive less than a quarter of a mile down the road, and I see a car ahead of me slowing for a right turn, with at least one car behind it, so I get off the gas, knowing that we won't be doing 45 again for quite a while, especially since there is a US Postal Service jeep putting mail in the mailboxes a short distance ahead of them, and he already has at least two vehicles behind him. A short distance ahead of all that is an SUV coming the other way on this 2-lane road. I'm driving a small (rental) sedan, so I know the dude in the truck should be able to see what I'm seeing over the top of my vehicle (or is it really too much to expect people to look past the bumper of the car they are following too closely?) The guy in the truck had backed off a bit, but as I brake for the line-up behind the USPS jeep, the truck (and his utility trailer load of baled pine straw) goes whizzing past me on the left. Double yellow line; there is a road coming up on the left, but the short turn lane for it doesn't start for at least another couple hundred feet. No way is the road 3 vehicles wide at this point; the oncoming SUV had to run partly on the shoulder to avoid hitting the truck (fortunately, all of the mail boxes are on our side of the road). As the truck makes the turn into the road on the left, a vehicle peels out of the lineup ahead of me and follows him . . . a large, black SUV with SHERIFF on the side of it.

Dontcha just love instant karma?!

Sounds like you need the bumper sticker my SIL had until her husband ripped it off after a couple guys tailgated him and then slowed downed while passing to check him out...lol
It said 'If your going to ride my a$$ you could at least pull my hair' ...
Guess he didn't like the looks he got 'look of disappointment and laughing ' as they passed.
I didn't think he should have ripped it off but I wasn't the one driving

Alaskan, you should have spent winter here. Some really low temps - more than usual but, much, much less snow. I think the most we had at once was 6", the other times no more than 2-3 and sometimes just lint dust.

Sure glad of that, don't really have the energy to dive into the 26"- 36" we usually get once or twice during the winter.

Thanks for the offer .... but if I move 8t will be to a place that thinks snow 8s make believe movie stuff.

I baked cookies.
The ones on the rear clear cutting board, are rolled at 1/2 inch thick, which was what was recommended. They are way too thick, and spread out quite a bit. They taste great, so they'll get eaten. The ones on the red cutting mat in the front, are only 1/4 inch thick. They did a LOT better, except for the one on the bottom right, which I got too close to the edge of the cookie tray.

Once I began rolling them at 1/4 inch, and getting them spaced better on the cookie tray, they did fine. They will be good for decorating. I used hazelnut extract, so they taste really good. I don't think I did too bad for just grabbing a recipe off the internet, and my first attempt at making cut out cookies.

The odd shaped ones are carrots. The others will be Easter eggs.
