What happened to April?


Radishes are looking good, real good, after the rains interspersed with sunny and warm days. We have been eating greens (collards and turnip) out of the cold frame for a month now, along with sorrel soup and rhubarb. They really satisfy the spring cravings.

I don't know how it came to be May and not a single post for April. Guess I was busy. Feeling behind on many fronts but doing some catch up in the flower gardens around the house and the vegie gardens out back and downtown. Way too neglected they've been.

Sally is home on the weekends and it's so good to have her close. She has gotten me going on kim chee and my first batch was a success. She is experimenting with her sourdough starter but it hasn't acclimated to Kansas yet. I am looking forward to some of her good bread one day soon.


The weeks of work readying mom's house for sale have ended (I guess that is where Mar/April went) and it's being shown a lot but no offers yet. It will be a relief once that chapter is closed and we can do the final clean-out. It's been a tiring, nearly three year process.

Nothing too astounding to report. Wish I was more inspired, mostly I am just tired after long days wrestling euonymous and ivy. I have created an area free of vines out front and composted a garden trail of sorts. Yea!

me again, my keyboard was sticking and I couldn't get my word across :-) Say I need the roving photographer to come out here and take a picture of the kits with their eyes open. Your camera does better close ups than mine. Are you able to do short video also with it?

The kits are adorable learning to lift their ears with their eyes peeping open. They jump like Mexican jumping beans. If you come out bring some radish tops for the buns they love em.
