What's Growing in the Garden(s)?





My bleeding heart is blooming.

 Most of the hostas are up are about up.  I want to split my larger ones, but it's way too wet out to do anything in the garden.

Our shell peas are coming up.

We are getting more rain, but so far, it's not been constant, however enough to keep the ground saturated.  And enough to keep the goats upset.  They cry and cry being in the barn on rainy days.

Each day that our rains continue I think of and pray for you. The ground is so wet here and even the mowing cannot be done.

Feel free to send some of your moisture northward. Our area is listed as in "moderate" fire danger. Lack of snow this winter has contributed to the dry state of the forests.

Poor goats! I remember mine crying pitifully when the rain fell - they had to come outside to get to their hay feeder and they hated it. Your garden is so far ahead of mine! I love your bleeding hearts.

Sam I Am, I don't recall the bleeding heart blooming so early before. I hope this will be a good summer.

Kim, today the sun came out and is very windy. I am praying it will dry it out, but the grass is still so sloshy yet.

Oh Mama Pea, I had no idea. I hope you get some rain soon then.

Susan, those two boys cry and cry. I feel badly for them, but give them lots of love and extra hay.

We've gotten 4" of rain so far this week. My rose garden is loving it - the dog and cats, not so much though.
Prayers everyone has a safe happy weekend.
Happy Mother's Day ya'all!!!
God bless.

Lady Jane, I do love spring. When I was a kid, I would love to go in our backyard in bare feet to walk in the morning dew (in the grass).

RB, rain for that many days straight would be driving me nuts too. Happy Mother's Day!

I'm a barefooter too. I love the feel of grass and dirt between my toes. There use to be an old labyrinth at the Arboretum sheltered in an ancient cedar ring that I'd walk it barefoot while meditating and praying. They bulldozed it to put in a parking lot, and I haven't been back since.
God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
