What a lovely day its been. Made Joe homemade waffles, bacon and grapefruit for breakfast. Its the waffle recipe from a Spry cookbook my mother used to make us when we were kids. If you remember Spry you're at least as old as me.
I still can't believe how quickly and early spring arrived. Every day the country looks greener. Next Joe will be out dragging the field and getting ready to irrigate. Its another lovely morning. Not sure what I'll do today, but work on my WAOW job for sure. A little housecleaning maybe?Betty called and we had a nice visit. We're making plans for my vacation down to Nevada this spring.
Very soon I will need to go out and begin a big transplanting job I have planned. I have to take all the flowers and plants out of the back yard and put them somewhere if I'm to save them, I don't know exactly where yet. I had lovely flower beds in back, always have, but put cottonwood trees there years ago and now the shade and roots have taken over the whole space. My vegetable garden was there in the first place and lost that. I've been gradually reducing the flowers and this is the year they will all come out. I envision a large area in the front corner with stepping stones to get through it. There is rather sparse wild grass and weeds in there now. If I were to water that would get thicker. I would love a greenhouse, but am not in to it that much any more, lots of work. It's probably not safe to think about flowers for all my pots for a while yet, they will freeze.
Joe has started liking fruit smoothies. Astonishing, isn't it. I've made them for myself for years, usually replacing a meal. And, although invited, he would never touch them. So not so long ago I had some leftover and just handed him a glass. Of course it was "What's This!!"..... And he liked it!! So now every day or so he wants one. This is a very good thing, and a pleasant way to get fresh fruit into him - both of us actually. I also put lecithin and wheat germ in it and the base I use has lots of vitamins.
