Good news

Ed van der Elsken Audience at a concert of Ella Fitzgerald 1957

70 this morning and the air really smells like spring. storms roared thru and knocked a lot of blooms off of the azaleas. doing some much needed pruning in the backyard. making room for Meyer lemon🍋 and owari Satsuma trees.🍊 hope your day makes you smile.

Not to pile on, but every 'c' in 'Pacific Ocean' is pronounced differently.

we have flowers! with bees and blooms I hope to try out these nectarines for the first time this year. :)🌱

my parents 1996 tiller was in need of repairs for the season. new(gratefully surprised it was available) carburetor is on the way. I was able to plastic weld the tank(don't make 'em anymore) hope to have it running and tilling later in the week🌱

Good morning everyone. ☕️☕️☕️

the bees are back from south Florida. about 175 hives. if you turn it up you can hear them buzzing. It's nearly background drone around here since they've returned. I'm glad to see and hear them.🐝

well I gambled and lost. had spotty frost and looks like I lost most of the veggies I set out. the funny thing is smaller, more vulnerable seedlings were about 100' away and suffered no damage. Soil should be warm enough to start seeds outside in a few weeks. patience truly is a virtue...🌱

Happy Spring! Bees are buzzing.🐝 It's busting out everywhere. It's raining pine tree pollen and it's hard to breathe but look at all the pretty colors :)🌱

the azaleas my parents planted have receded into the woods. actually the woods are overtaking. Since they passed I've been trying to reclaim what I can but there is a whole lot of land here.they sure are nice for the few weeks they bloom.

I'm trying to find out what kind of grass this is. it started as a patch about 3' across a few years ago. it stays green all winter and is as thick as a carpet. Anyone have any ideas? I sure would like it to take over and spread and help that out if I can.

the blooms are busting out down here. the palm reminds me that we had snow on the ground for almost 3 days! 🌱

mysterious objects

dogs found this leatherback in the hay field about 1/3 mile from the next pond. got a lift in the p/u bed and didn't even tip! the beaver pond is pretty good size so it should be happy there🐢

soil screen working well. it's very dry,thought it would make less of a mess.adding calcium,some neem cake,blood, both "lites" and bone meal and some hope. should be planting by the weekend. some of the dirt clods are tough enough it's like grating cheese... sure is nice and loamy after :)🌱

hand rails went up well. I like the look. anti slip treads come Monday and I can wrap this project up. :)

moved the seedlings from tent to the sliding glass doors. hitting 80 next week and I want have these hardened off and ready. I have one more flat of tomatoes, peppers and melons to start. got a bunch of pollinator friendly seeds to start a flower garden as well. fingers crossed for a good year :) 🤞🌱

Every Dem Senator, Governor or, if unavailable Dem House member, should be doing the same

Gonna make some good trouble today!

stairs turned out pretty well. they sure are solid. waiting on the had rails and then I can check this one off.

good day yesterday. it was warm with blue skies and a light breeze. got the old stairs tore down and made up the stringers for the new ones. should wrap that project up today. got some painting in the future to finish it off. don't forget to have some fun today.

rediscovered the joy of pound cake, strawberries in sugar and cool whip while listening to old reggae. adulting really can fun at times.🍓🍰 :) hope your Friday is a smile day.

The people who watch as others zip tie your legs and physically drag you from a meeting would also watch as you were thrown into a concentration camp.

Sadism isn't swagger. It isn't American. It isn't honorable. And contrary to what a whole lot of fatherless boys believe, it sure AF isn't manly. It's sadism.

these black mushrooms are popping up in clumps everywhere.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Spotting wildlife because its crawling on you should be taken as a win! Not as a reason to freak out and start slappin' stuff to death. You enter the jungle, you gonna get crawled on. Not everything out for blood hey! Enjoy the little things :) like #Arkys lancearius

Unadulterated animus.

it's that time of year. this latest cold spell was unexpected. looks like all clear in about 10 days.every year I promise to get more organized and still end up improvising. sure looking forward to planting these🌱👨‍🌾

freezers seem to be either last for ever or problematic. I bought a Frigidaire upright about 8 years ago. 3 years in the t-stat went out, lost everything, replaced and was fine until yesterday morning it was 31! defrost board bad. caught it in time to move stuff. parts come today #unnecessarystress

This gets me right in the Karen so of course I did it

OMG! Now THAT is what I call pressure!!! If you live in one of those districts, we are soooo counting on you!!!! Please get out and vote!

not as clean as the picture I copied this from but I think it will do the job of shifting my old soil. I'm going to try and reuse as much as I can. potting soil has gotten pricey. 🌱the wheels sure make it easy to agitate back and forth

just got back from cardiologist for the results from multiple stress tests and the ticker is doing great. they were concerned because of some extra beats and low resting pulse.I was born with it doing that, worked construction and played sports most of my life. I'm grateful and relieved :)
