I always say that we are traveling on an adventure with what we are doing here. Sometimes, though, we engage in experimentation. Truthfully… that’s how all of my gardening gets done lately. “Let’s try this plant. Let’s try this on the grasshoppers. Let’s try this on the gophers.” Sometimes things work, but more often than not, they don’t. It can be very disheartening. But we continue along.

We accomplished a HUGE thing this Tuesday, but it can be summed up in a minimum of words – not really “total post” worthy. So, given that, I was thinking of a potpourri of a blog post today. Shall we?

It’s an odd looking word, “firsts”. One little vowel there among a fricative, and a plosive sandwiched between two sibilants. I always feel for people trying to learn English when I come across words like this; so simple to us, but difficult to get your tongue around. This, of course, has nothing to do with the post today. It is just something that ran through my head as I was looking for a title photo. Ha!

I could never be a bee. Look at this hard working girl here. Covered in pollen and figuring out ways to hold more. It is definitely allergy season here. The oak trees are working over time this year! Laden with their little catkins and sending pollen out on the winds. Also, the apple trees, the apricot trees, the flowers, the grasses, and on and on.

Since tomorrow is EASTER I thought we’d just take a moment to wish you many Blessings and hope you are able to spend some time with family and friends – even if it is remotely. We are enjoying a visit from my folks for a long weekend and it has been nice just relaxing with them.
