Jody, well knock off my socks!!! Ain't that just the ding dangest great thing....I kid you not.
What a great innovation that Jen has done....that community garden thing is so cool. I wish that we had something like that around here. Oh I am going to miss my gardens.....oh dear. I have been working my brains out outside these past couple of days, the sun has shone, as I am sure it has down your way too. I actually am already getting that farmer's tan on my arms. Time to diss the t-shirt and let the sun shine on my full arms with my tank top on, beauty, I love to let the sun warm my skin and soul. I have been potting up some of my perennials into huge pots, not sure of the size, but they are big....and hold lots of my earth...which after 20 years of amending has been pretty nice, black, loam, full of the good stuff. That soil will come with us, to nourish these plants, which may have to stay in their huge pot homes for a unknown length of time. That is why I have them in big ones (I think they may be like 5 gallon or so). My blueberry plants are in even bigger ones. Ken put one of the blueberry bushes into a big blue garbage pail. EXTREMELY heavy, thank my lucky stars it has handles, smiling. The plants are not even opening the primary leaves yet, but soon will be bursting into flowers. Ooops, my bad, me ramblin', (but got things to say). I have been getting up a little more early these past few days, nice......
I keep thinking of Rosie....and her baby....and her milk....that I know that you will be sipping, once you can take some extra for yourselves...and the cheese...and the yogurt....and the cottage cheese (you gonna do those, right?), and the buttermilk......smiling. Oh you lucky gal. Oh yes, and her sweet cow breath, that scent that I will never forget.....By the way....watch out when you milk her....smiling. Did you know that cows can kick sideways. You have knowledge of the horse kick, that goes straight out backwards. Well, cows are very different. They can kick the milk can right out from between your legs, and can get ya soaked with milk.....just some words from the voice of experience, hee, hee, that big smile. Have you ever milked a cow? Takes practice, and have fun with that, it is such a wholesome thing, communing with the gal. Ooops, me ramblin' (did I say that already, hee, hee and that big smile). Have that most wonderfully awesome and great day, love our life that is so dear, great health. Cindi
