Happy spring, Everyone.........we're almost there and in a few days it will be official. In announcing the happy weather, here is a photo of some beautiful tulips that my niece Lauren brought me when she and her girls came for the weekend. They're looking too nice in my living room right now for me to plant them outside yet. That will come soon enough. The daffodils below are our own......one of the first garden blooms from some bulbs that I just barely got in before it was too late in the season. Other plants are poking through the soil or bursting out into leaf, depending. It shows great promise. We're already making some of our own changes in the back yard without going too crazy. But my visions for the future garden are inspiring me to forget the aching back and get out into the midst of it........I'll probably "Cry Tomorrow".....
This below photo was my proud find while I was doing some weeding. The prized black morel mushrooms!! I've never had them but the mushroom books all say they're highly valued among mushrooms. We have a ton of them coming up under a dead oak tree whose has some branches that drape over our fence. The others are too little just yet to pick but you can depend on me checking them daily! And into the frying pan they go!
Had a wonderful time over the weekend visiting Ashland for my first time. I definitely need to go back to check out all the area we didn't get to. There were street musicians on every corner as well as a lot of colorful characters walking the streets and in the shops. There was a lovely little park that we walked through on our way into town complete with bubbling creek and duck pond. The park was so well used with a lot of families and little kids running all over.....enjoying the warm sun and the bagpipes, or fiddles that were playing by more street musicians. I enjoyed the bagpipes..although normally I can only take it for so long.......the bagpipers were dressed in their kilts, of course. Always makes me wonder...........hmmm??
Norm has had a bad couple of weeks but is feeling much better now.......although he still has laryngitis. Doctor said that he aspirated stomach acid into his bronchial tubes and lungs during a medical procedure. This is a new area for us and of all the things I'm alert to and making as sure as I can do to prevent, this, I didn't expect. Anyway, it never did get into anything like pneumonia, thankfully so I see the way all-clear ahead now.
Well, while the sun is still out and the day is balmy, I'm going back out to rustle around a little more in the garden..........Hope you're all enjoying...........
