Give Alice a birthday treat from me and a "Happy Birthday pretty kitty" too!
Happy birthday Alice!
Good morning volties! It's another beautiful day here in sunny CA (although we do need more rain). I've already started to mow the lawns. Twice now. Looks like it's back to lawn mowing season. We only have a couple of months where we don't really have to cut much.
I had to get rid of my "outlaw" mower. It was a 2 stroke lawn boy that I dearly loved. It started to go kaput and the guys at the shop told me that they shouldn't be working on it. So, a fellow did some work for me and I gave it to him. I bought a Honda lawnmower. Wow, it's nice. One pull and the dang thing starts every time. The lawn boy required many pulls to get it started, so this is a much welcomed treat!
Going to get busy soon and take Whisper to the park. I have to prepare a bit for my friend's 50th surprise birthday party tomorrow. Her husband thinks he has her fooled, but I suspect she knows something is up as friends and family have been calling their house a lot and wanting to speak to Kevin and we all know that men don't talk on the phone much. I'm sure she'll be quite happy with all of her friends and family with her.
Hope everyone has a great day!

OMG! My 6 months went right pass me and I didn't realize it!
Thanks Deb for the reminder.

6 moths is so cool, Joannne.
Hope everyone had a great day.
I finished transplanting the mums and the iris and got the front watering zone working properly. Still needs a little tweaking but the sprinklers are sprinkling.
We also got our lettuce planted in the new planters inside the greenhouse along with some rads. Yeah, we want salad as soon as possible Can't wait for fresh greens.
Hope everyone has a great night. Off to make a Terriyaki Bowl with some antelope, broccoli and carrots with a little homemade sauce to sauce it up with

Congrats on you 6th month mark JoAnn! Way to go!!!!
Sounds delicious Lizzie! Whisper is not garden friendly at all. Everything I do has to be in a pot, way off the ground!
Just made up a batch of RY4. Kinda my own recipe. Have it humming away in the jewelry cleaner. I've got to make another drip tester because everything tastes like the last batch I made!

Another winter scene. Some people will go fishing in any kind of weather. This is near sunset on Cayuga Lake, and that guy was out there fishing. Brrr!

Thanks Lizzie. You're making my mouth water with all those fresh veggies. That teriyaki bowl sounds delicious too even though I've never had antelope before. Is that venison? If so, I've tasted that but never cooked it.
Thanks Tail! It went by so fast and so far I haven't had any urges or cravings for tobacco and I'm glad about that.
Whatever I decide to plant has to be in pots. This year I'm going to try tomatoes in a container. I don't know how successful I'll be since I don't have a green thumb... but the desire is there because there is nothing like a good homegrown garden tomato.
Good morning. It's St. Patrick's Day today. Are any of you going to celebrate? Drink green beer, etc.? I'm going to spend a quiet day at home, I think. It's snowing. Except for a day here & there where we saw some sun for an hour or so, it seems like it's been snowing forever. So here's another winter scene.
I was walking on the golf course when I saw this interesting rainbow effect around the setting sun. See the faint circle? I hear it's called a sun dog. If you want to find out more about them, see Sun dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, all. I do have to make a Walmart run today, but other than that, I'll be staying home. It'll be amateur night on the streets after dark.
Good morning Volties and Happy St. Patty's day. I'm not Irish but I look for any excuse to eat corned beef and cabbages so that's what I'm having today. I found a new recipe that I'm trying that calls for slow cooking the corned beef in beer... sounds so yummy!
Heading to church this morning and will stop in later for a chat...

My daughter was born on St. Patty's Day. We celebrated yesterday, at her house, with corned beef, cabbage and potatoes. As usual, I over did the food, it was good! Then I over did desserts as well. Some habits are hard to break!
It was raining/sleeting/snowing here yesterday morning. Then it kind of stopped until about 3PM, when it started sleeting again. Then I saw something big and white go by in my peripheral vision as I walked past the sliding door to the deck. I thought it was a bird or something, but a white bird? When I stopped and looked, the sleet was mixing with snow flakes about an inch in diameter. I never saw snow flakes quite that big before. Now I don't know why I didn't get a picture, duhhhhh.
On the way to my daughters it started really snowing when we got to Six Flags Great Adventure, as in snowing hard enough to put an inch on the road in temperatures near forty. I did get a shot out the front door after we got to my daughters. Everything coated with wet, heavy snow. It did stop about 6 or so and the stuff on the roads melted and it's all gone this morning, but this was supposed to be a completely non-accumulating snow event.

Wow, big snowflakes! Spring snow storms can take you by surprise. One year in Reno in April it was snowing so hard and wet sticky snow that I couldn't clear off the van windows fast enough to get out of my parking lot. I'd go around and by the time I got back to the front the windshield and the rest of the windows had to be done again. I finally called in to work and then took a nap. After accumulating 6 inches of snow, it quit, it all melted and I went in for half a shift
Enjoy your cabbage and corn beef Catlady
Cool photo, Sandy Su.
We are celebrating Hubby's birthday early since his folks will be out of town. I bought German chocolate cake and salad in a box and Hubby made BBQ pork shoulder yesterday so should be an easy day besides having to clean the house. Hubby is going to help with that.

I'm fairly decent at gardening. Whisper loves to lay in my raised flower bed. She tramples over my flowers all the time so I've given in and let her have the dirt.
I've heard some good things about those topsy turvey upside down tomato plants. I don't want to drill into my patio cover, so I'm doing them in a big pot this year. I too love home grown tomatoes. The ones in the store are mealy and don't have much flavor, IMHO. When I'd visit my parents in the summer, I'd go out and pick a tomato off the vine and eat it like an apple.

I've always wanted to do the Runamucca run in Winnemucca on Memorial day weekend. I know friends that have gone in years past and they have told me horror stories about snow on the summit on I80. I want to go, but don't want to chance riding in snow! Been there, done that already and don't like white knuckling it like that.
The cake sounds delicious. I love a good German chocolate cake!!

I've got to get into the kitchen and start slicing tomatoes and onions up for the burgers and hot dogs. Going to my friends 50th birthday party this afternoon. I'm going to take pictures for her and try to make a nice DVD of her party. She normally takes all the pictures when we are out, so it will be nice to do a "pay it forward" for her.
Now all I have to do is find my match sticks to use when I slice those onions or I'm crying a river!
Happy St Patrick's day everyone! I have some Irish in me, but going to abstain from the green beer. My stomach still isn't 100% back to normal after getting sick.

Great photo Sandy!
I've seen the same effect on the moon too. One thing about living in flat land, the sky is so huge to capture things like that!
That was one of the things I noticed when we drove west. The sky looked huge. They say Montana is big sky country, but I think I noticed it before then -- maybe North Dakota? I remember driving somewhere where the land seemed level, but it was a series of miles-long plateaus, so you really couldn't tell what was above the level like a hill and what was below, like a valley. That seemed strange to me, too. And then there were vast fields of sunflowers, which impressed me. In fact, I hand't seen flowers grown as a crop before. And out in California, somewhere north of Half Moon Bay, there were fields of more traditional flowers to supply florists, too. I loved those brightly colored fields.
Poppys are out along with the mustard greens here. As soon as those start popping up, Whisper and I start our allergy season.
Before I moved to CA, my dad asked me why I wanted to live there. The very first thing I said was the sky is huge here. He had been to San Francisco and said he can understand what I meant. Living in the mountains West Virginia with the tall trees, the sky seems to be so tiny.
I do miss the hills, but I'd rather ride to them than live in them. Seems like everyone in West Virginia has a steep driveway.

Well, my onions, tomatoes and lettuce are washed cut and ready. Have to gather up all my stuff and go help put up the black decorations we bought. Funny tradition about turning 50 with all the black stuff. But, that's what he wanted for his wife.
Have a great day volties! Will check back in tonight!
