I was in town clothes, ready to go off to a dental appointment and did not wish to hunt down the slug scissors.

The dental appointment was OK but got over after I should have eaten, and I was in chatty mode, got involved in a conversation with... OK, here's the deal: over my life I have several times fallen across crazy people on their birthday who *really enjoy* talking to me. Today it got me on the wrong bus, so once again I didn't make it down to the farm to take a photo of the new bull.

We all have our roles in life, I guess.

Talking to crazies on buses is a humane act. I remember one old guy on the NYC subway with tears in his eyes because I actually listened to him.

That's what I tell myself: otherwise why would I sent to them on their birthdays, right? But it really messed things up today.

I owe people birthday photos, best go find something to photograph, no? Oh, also: I'm going to Joy Creek Thursday, do you need any Clematis, etc?

Aha! Not to be outdone by the Northerners, I'd like to suggest Wednesday, June 1st as a meet-up for South Sounders. Vino Aquino - 4417 6th Avenue in Tacoma, about 6 PM. How does that work for anyone? All are welcome to attend. Free wine sampling for all!
I'd like to get an idea of who might be able to make it. I'm putting it on the calendar at the wine shop so nothing else gets booked that night.

DW just went and dug out a huge stash of garden seeds. I guess that must be my clue.

Like she thinks I filled them big wood boxes to grow stuff in.

It must be in the air with all this sunshine! I just finished double digging 3-12x3, 2-8x3, and 1-6x3 ft raised beds and planted broccoli, cauliflower, onions, spinach, lettuce and dill. WHEW! The kids and I must have missed some of the potatoes last year because they are coming up all over in the potato bed. Cool! Still need to plant more peas, carrots(radishes as row markers), and beets. I'm not even 1/2 way through the double digging so I'm glad we are going to have a lot more sun this week. Still have 3 more 12x3's and 2-42x3 ft beds to go.
It got down to 35* last night! Might have to pull out the plastic row covers to plant the tomatoes, tomatillos, and cuc's if it keeps this up.
I'm rambling so my blood sugar most be low. Gonna go eat.

It was gorgeous in Spokane today. Turned the big chirpies loose in the yard while I started cleaning up construction stuff. decided to toss the ducks in our big pool(great algae eaters yay), and left the 1 chick loose all alone...I turned around to see a headless chick...apparently something startled her and she had buried her head under a clump of grass and dandelions.
Then she decided to help me in the garden. I have no pea plants left, or corn.

For a second I thought something had taken her head. Whew!

There isn't a relieved smiley, is there?

the evil lawn mower as I moved it to the shed(not even running)...I later found her hiding under the 2 ducks, soaking wet as they had just gotten out of the pool
