I feel bad about not blogging for several days, but a lot has been going on. We are having our typically hot spring here in Atlanta, but I sorta love it anyway because the azaleas are blooming everywhere and everything looks just beautiful.
In Augusta [my hometown] the Masters Tournament is being played. Now, you can actually watch it live, which is way cool. I've never been terribly enthusiastic about golf, but my dad, grandfather, and uncles all loved the game. Here in the south, you can play most of the year except perhaps January and February. If you move to Florida [like one of my cousins who is a golf fanatic] you can play year round.
I have had a busy few days, gardening and working.
My gardens are not too impressive, yet. I planted 8 tomatoes, 4 cucumbers, and 4 peppers. I will probably add more in the next couple of weeks. I love yellow squash and zucchini but for some reason they don't grow well for me. Ditto for cantaloupe.
Last year I planted about 10 green bean plants but I could never harvest more than a handfull of green beans at one time and it just didn't seem worth it, since I can get fresh beans at a farmstand that are just as tasty.
One of my neighbors had some trees cut down recently and I got a pile of great mulch out of that deal, and I need to get it into my gardens. It holds in the moisture.
I haven't bought any flowering plants yet. Usually I just go to Pike's and buy a couple of flats of geraniums or zinnias or impatiens and stick a couple in each pot. I've got a huge collection of pots.
The high today is going to be somewhere between 82 and 84.
Michael can't help me much in the gardening because he has terrible allergies.
I was hunting for one of my favorite photos, of Alesia and Michael gardening right after we got home in 2007, and I couldn't find it. I did find this cute shot, made a couple of months ago.
