We have two frogs

     My neighbor’s son brought me three frogs that he found at his job site today.  Unfortunately one died tonight probably from the lengthy transport in a dirty bucket.  The kid means well but has no idea that a clean bucket and water from where he got them would’ve been wiser.  I feel sorry for the frog but after watching the other two munching down on mosquitoes tonight I am happy they are here in my pond.  The good news is they aren’t bullfrogs.

    You all have a good one!

What I planted yesterday.

Yay! I have started the vegetable garden.

     Yesterday G and I stopped at a favorite nursery and while I loaded up on some lovely vegetable plants, G found flowers to replace what the wet weather and bugs destroyed in her garden.

     I now have six tomato plants, two pepper plants, a nice group of four basil plants, and four eggplants ready for the pots beside the house.  Not bad for my first load.  I also bought some Rudbeckia, lavender, and zinnias.  In a week or so I’ll go to the larger nursery we usually go to and pick up more veggies for the back garden.  I want a few more varieties of peppers, bush cucumbers,  and some early eggplants.

     I did plant some tomatoes and the basil in pots yesterday.  Today I’ll finish the job and get the flowers planted in the pots on the front porch.

     You all have a good one!

Let the grilling and gardening begin.

     The grill is clean!  I am happily grilling our dinners again.  Next would be to get the hammock stand set up.  Yes, I am running very late this year.  LOL!

    What can I say, we had so much other stuff going on that I got way behind on getting things together here at home.  It looks as though we are taking baby steps but getting there.  Another thing to do is see if I can still find tomato, peppers, and eggplant for my pots.  We’re a bit late on them too.

     Dinner was grilled lemon & herb infused boneless chicken breasts served with veggies and a large salad with NY cheesecake for dessert.  The Curmudgeon enjoyed it.  Does anyone have any special grilling recipes they’d like to share?

  You all have a good one!

I took the camera to the rose gardens yesterday…

Dang, I really need to find some energy somewhere and weed the gardens.

Sunday in the garden…

I can’t wait for this iris to bloom–it’s my black one. 

Still waiting for the blue and yellow ones to open too.
