Sunday Stroll: May 1, 2016
Happy May! It’s spring!! I’d like to welcome my new subscribers. I’m so glad you’re here. You might not know that I am also a gardener, although my art has pretty much pushed it to the back in the last couple of years. The Sunday Stroll is where I like to show you what’s going…

For the last several months I’ve been watching my odometer in my 1999 Toyota Corolla, waiting for it to turn over 100,000 miles. So for the weeks before the “event” I checked as I started up the car and during the drives here and there. And then it happened! I was driving home from this…
Read MoreSunday HA Update
We received over an inch of rain Friday night – the first measurable amount in a long time. I had harvested asparagus Friday afternoon. When I went out to harvest yesterday morning, I couldn’t believe it. This is one of the spears I found. We have had a wonderful asparagus harvest this year. I have…

Well, it’s Sunday, and time for some more iris eye candy! Here are some of our irises that have bloomed since the last post. It’s so much fun to walk around and see what new has opened up. Here is another one Dave brought over from his farm when we moved here in 2007. The…
