Yesterday was my grandson Cadyn's 4th birthday and I was happy to be off work and able to join in the celebration. It was a beautiful springlike day here in Florida and we had a crowd of guests. I saddled up old Red and took the 9 kids on horse back rides. My oldest grandson Logan who is now 6 has learned to ride on his own off of the lead rope which thrills me to death. None of my own 3 children like to ride so the idea that I might have a future riding buddy in the making really makes me happy. My daughter in law made pulled pork sandwiches and potato salad. It was a perfect day.
The new years projects are going well, I got rid of 10 boxes of stuff out of the garage last week, so I am ahead on that goal of one box per week. This past week I planted carrots, spinach and more broccoli. So the goal of planting at least one new thing per week is well on track. I am brainstorming on how to find a place to plant seed potatoes soon. I don't have anymore raised bed space and don't want to spend money on materials right now so I am going to have to get creative. I certainly have the room here in this spread of property so I am sure when I get out and look around I will come up with something. More on this topic to follow.
On another note I was recently inspired to join Pinterest by another blogger Debbi and I have been having so much fun with it. It is like your favorites folders on your computer but with pictures which seems to make it so much more fun to save and organize the things you find on the web that spark your interest, its addicting really. You have to join the site and wait for an invite which takes about a day by email, but it really is interesting once you set up your own boards. You create your own virtual bulletin boards for pinning up things you clip from the Internet your favorite blogs and social media sites. /http://pinterest.com/laurapike/
It boggles my frozen Maine brain that you can plant in February AND that it's 80 degrees there! Enjoy it for those of us who are huddled around our wood stoves and counting down the days til we can plant!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked Pinterest! How could anyone not?? It's so full of yummy things. Someone told me to get on etsy and that is also fun. Glad your weather is so nice. It's sunny here but only 43. What a great idea to use cinderblocks so you can plant in the holes!! neat idea! Wish I lived close. I'd love to go riding with you...debbie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cabbage. I've been looking for cabbage grown in Florida, since the freeze. No luck, Walmart and Sweetbay have cabbage from South Carolina. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteNice garden.
Good to see you here again.
