Weekend Highlights
Since last Thursday night until yesterday, my mother was visiting. With J's program and E's talent show night on Saturday night, it was a good weekend for her to visit. She vegged which she needed to do and if I had known she was prepared to do some work for me I might not have cleaned and washed as thoroughly. Other wise our weekend was quiet with some shopping on Saturday and the talent show Saturday.
E did a terrific job playing her guitar and singing Counting Crows "A Long December". She has a sweet, low voice and I was really proud even if she only sang it to 12 people. Yeah, it wasn't the best attended talent show in the history of the Tri-M club. Blah.
Rain, rain, rain. Flooding, flooding, flooding. Achievement test, achievement test, achievement test. On a bright note it's 60 degrees and climbing to 70 and all my little seedlings of spinach, green onions, mache`, beets, lettuce blend, sweet basil, oregano, and parsley are poking up. My fern roots and cannas I planted up in pots are peeking out too. All the bushes , trees and bulbs are blooming, budding and otherwise making a butt-load of happy for me. That's my botanical comment for the day.
Hope my number of visitor AND commenters will increase as my self-esteem is directly associated with the visits. You all KNOW that!

I'm sure we'll see the effects of spring on you.
Don't take the lack of traffic too personally...I think everyone has been on some sort of bloggy hiatus. But as the sap is rising, I suspect blog traffic will as well.
You've inspired me to get out into the garden today.
I will probably hate you for that in a couple of hours.
I wouldn't want you to feel unloved, so I will stop and say that I think you're wonderful
Even is Spring is slow to arrive, isn't it wonderful to see the tiny new sprouts and imagine the delicious harvest?
My brain is on vacation, well pretty much most of the year.
I adore spinach, we eat it at least 3-4 times a month in some sort of dish or just cooked with garlic in olive oil.
Hope your traffic helps your spirits lift!
It takes courage to sing to a crowd, no matter how big.
Gardening sounds so lovely. I'm just afraid I'd neglect the little babies.
Cor, comment grubber! I know how you feel though. Dont worry too much, just because people aren't commenting, doesn't mean they're not stopping by. Your blog is too interesting for people NOT to want to read it. There, your ego boosted, and no extra charge. :-)
Lucky YOU, spring already! We're still half under snow. Thanks for reading my blog, I have been posting elsewhere, must learn to work with Blogger more.
Blah I have been feeling the same way.. no commenters sniff.
I am glad to hear that spring is coming to you.. we had sleet and snow all day here. UGH.
i wish i had a green thumb.
i'm gonna give it a whirl this year i think.
flowers.
but i worry though y'know cause my kids are lucky if they get water..so..yeah. wish me luck.
I just had to cut my grass for the first time this past weekend... seems earlier than usual. Glad to hear your organic adventures are underway! "Butt-load of happy", I can sense that! :-)
Iamnot, I AM a bit of an exhibitionist, huh?
Lorraine, glad to see you. I love your garden spot. I can tell you do too and what's a little pain between friends?
Yay, Mom and thanks! AAaahhh, I feel it.
WS, it's really like an awakening in me as well as the earth. Sounds silly but it's true.
Yo, Jetpass. I have always loved spinach and miss it when I don't buy it. I intend to grow it this fall as well so I can maybe get my fill..And fix it exactly like you did with garlic and olive oil. Then maybe my son would go for it.
Am, there are many things to grow with minumum labor and maximum produce. I'll hook you up if you want. (Listen to me, pushing people around with my dirty ideas!)
Ah, Simon to my ego rescue as well! But it is a bit over the top as to the "interesting" part. No matter. Appreciation abounds.
Ien, HI! And sorry you are still in the throes of winter. Hope you can live vicariously until yours come in. And thanks for stopping by.
Sandi, you are so going to want to move somewhere warm after Vegas! Until then I'll be thinking about you...
Hi, Kimmyk and luck to you but me thinks thou doth protest too much. And when you stop in the greenhouse and see everything to buy, you will be overcome with the need to have it all. You'll even buy a soaker hose and mulch to make watering a snap and hanging wire baskets lined in spaghnum moss so the plant will not get rootbound before the summer is done and poop out. And fertilizer for all your pots of flowers because a little fert when watering makes everyone look like they know what they are doing. Sshhh, that was a secret.
Markec, I THOUGHT I heard a mower droning the other day. So that was you, huh? It is very early, by the way. I don't like to rush that part of spring. And if I am to make my slave labor do my bidding, I HAVE to buy another mower. Mine looks like a Hillbilly mower for sure! You know.. up on blocks between uses and covered in oil and duct tape.
Yay! My biggest batch of comments in awhile. I'm feeling the love, people.
hey! I'm here too :) just hate to come in from outside...
yay! for sprouts!
i've been collecting eggs shells for possible tomato plants, just need a place to put them
I hope this helps your self esteem. I feel late to the party. I can't wait for spring break.
