Here are some pictures from the garden, and an indicator of future harvests.
I have been too busy to post recently. As I mentioned before, one business died today (and I had to be there holding its hand). I have not come accross any new products to recommend, not have I been in my garden except to turn on the water. The red pepper plant is blooming, though.
A day in the life of an accountant...
An interesting read from a friend overseas in Iraq - Not in the News.
We're having a slight heat wave here in the California Bay Area. Although not triple-digit temperatures, it is warmer than we are accustomed to...the plants are loving it though! I harvested my first Roma tomatoes (only two), and have a number of fruits on the vine. About 12 cucumbers, 5 or 6 bell peppers, more zucchini (sigh) and an innumerable amount of tomatoes. I think we might be doing some canning and pickling later this month. Not necessarily together or in that order.
As promised, I have made a movie montage of the catnip festival we had here Friday night. Catnip Fever (viewable with Quicktime).
Pictures cannot adequately describe the sound of cats storming through your house with reckless abandon...or serious dislike for each other. If you happen to be awake later in the evening in my house, you will observe a strange ritual. For no apparent reason, shortly after 10:00, the cats start running around the house and up and down the stairs.
Today's Harvest: 2 very large zucchini, 1 cucumber, a handful of green beans, and 1 strawberry.
Today's post...
This is a delayed posting from this weekend...
One day until the *BIG* golf tournament. I'll show pictures of the gift bags I've made for the occasion. Very festive. I think the first prize might have to be something from my garden, as I haven't been able to find anything else suitable (and affordable).
In anticipation of the great upcoming golf tournament this weekend, Rudy and I visited the driving range. Rudy is carefully prepping for this game on Saturday...hoping to hold on to his title as "Kikuchi Golf Tournament Champion." I am working on coming up with a suitable 1st prize. I have some ideas, but I can't disclose them on this website, else the potential winners might find out for what they are playing!!!
For those interested in a good read, I found this on the web. A story I've always wanted to read in full - The Man from Snowy River.
Another interesting morning today. On my morning walk, I chanced to come across a very odd-looking group of birds. They appeared to be some kind of ground bird, but they were a little too small to be turkeys (we have wild turkeys here in our area). As I got closer, I realized that the birds varied in size - and in fact they were turkeys. Three female turkeys with a whole flock of poults. I had never seen these game birds so young and so small. I wish I had had my camera, but instead you get this picture of fruit from my garden.
Just another quiet weekend...
How about them apples...
Hi Everyone! I've been neglectful in posting to my blog and I'm sorry. We've been very busy the past few months. As soon as we returned from our vacation in Italy, we were thrown head-first into a myriad of social of events, including weddings, BBQ's and family gatherings, as well as catching up on several projects that have been long in the making.
