We went to Kentucky for a church homecoming, and took some time to check out properties near Irvine that we saw on Zillow. Somehow our GPS got confused in the mountains, but we found the property I had my eye on purely by accident. It is everything that I want - a view, quiet, and a small house. The only problem is that we aren't ready to retire for anot her couple years, and can't afford two mortgages. I hope the LORD will keep it for us!

Yesterday Rose and I walked a 5K charity run/walk. It was Rose's first public appearance and she did pretty well. We moved quickly and came in at a bit over an hour. You'd have thought she'd take the rest of the day off, but Rose had energy to spare! As for me, I was a bit stiff and slept well.

Wonderful Vanessa! I grew gourds once, and with our garden patch next to a patch of woods, the vines kept growing and attached to the trees. That was a big harvest that year. My husband just laughed and said let em go, and I will cut them down when their ready..

At last gourds, beans and, I think pumpkins are growing on the garden arches. When they get bigger I'll rig some slings to hold them securely.
Because of the heat I don't get out to fight the weeds as much as I should.

Today - the girls both leave for home.
This afternoon - I inspect the bedrooms and make any adjustments.
Sunday - I install a table, chair, trunks, shelves, sewing machines and fabric.
Bliss!

Every year our Soil Conservation office offers a backyard garden project grant that partially reimburses gardeners who put in beehives, compost bins, water gardens, water barrels or other type of projects. This year they approved my garden arch project.
My sweetie bought the cattle panels, t posts and wire clips. Last night I tried hammering the posts with a sledgehammer, and although it worked, my elbow was sore. This morning I bought a post setter and the rest went in easily. The panels were a bit unwieldy but I wrassled them in place and secured them to the posts, learning as I went.
While I was at it, I planted regular beans, asparagus beans, onions and tomatoes, and a bunch of flowers seeds in the pollinator plot. It will rain the rest of the week.
Wuff! I'm tuckered out!

Cooking with wine tonight! I'm making Roast Pork with garlic and Rosemary from How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman.
It's my go-to cookbook for most recipes.I may imbibe a bit later.

That sounds good too!
For Easter dinner we had Honeybaked ham, smoked trout (made by our German student), Hasselbeck potatoes, baked beans, spinach salad with tomatoes, carrots and cucumber with a homemade dressing, and carrot cake (by our German student). As my brother in law Larry would say "I'm as full as a tick."
And my white lilac started blooming.

It's a sunny warm day so I expanded the dog compound. Unfortunately Rose found the small break in the fence and is now roaming free.
