Sewing My Wild Oats...

uh, my pumpkins, gourds, sunflowers, corn and beans.  I am hot, sunburned and wearing a wife beater T.  I am not complaining.  I never thought I would say this but I've missed sweating.  Unlike other southern ladies I do not perspire delicately.  I sweat like a horse.  I am so happy for the warmth!
Sometimes hooking up equipment is a two person job.  Remember the purple and pink toolbox?  Still working!

I began planting sunflowers here and there from our crop last year. Just scooping a small hole where ever I wanted a sunflower.  The almanac said Tuesday was a good day for above ground crops so I am testing that.  May be a little early but I think by the time they sprout all danger of frost will be gone..hopefully.

Hubby decided to go big and plow a little patch for the wildlife along the creek.  He did that and I got to plant.
The far side of the creek is now planted.  May it feed who needs it most.  I also wandered through the edge of the woods planting gourds so they could climb brush and trees.  I planted pumpkins in the sand and in ashy ground where a brush pile had been burned experimenting what they may prefer.  Planted them far from gourds so they will not cross pollinate.
And the pack was with us every step of the way.
I had no idea how much I was craving playing in the dirt.

Spider Web

with jewels.

Today Hubby goes back to the doctor...by himself.  I have no one to work in my place so I can't go.  Oh, well, glad the post office is still open...gotta pay those doctor bills.

He is having some trouble breathing (daughters, don't panic...he is the same) and thinks he may have more blockage.  He is scared (but would never admit that) and is cranky because he doesn't know how to handle scared.  He's seen the nose and throat guy and that doc sees nothing but acid reflux, his regular doctor says his pneumonia is gone but there is still some fluid in his lungs...so he has fluid pills. Hubby thinks he has a clot, I think he doesn't do the right kind of exercise and smokes too much.  Arggg...wish they would fix him!

Think of him today...thank you.

How The Garden Grows

Corn silks
many varieties of squash
fresh garden salads
after the hard work of picking
the cat needed to rest.
