And one snap pea has really taken the incentive:
They are growing so fast, we will have to till the new, bigger garden ahead of schedule. I hope it's good weather on Saturday! The past week has brought plenty of rain, though luckily raining mostly at night/ late afternoon, leaving the mornings sunny and in the 70s. Perfect for fishing, and perfect for bringing more flowers into bloom. The tulips I planted last September virtually popped overnight. I lined the main sidewalk to the house with 18 bulbs on each side, for the grand total of 39. They were hit by a sort of blight early on (and for unknown reasons, one side is doing better than the other) but they look beautiful now. This year I aim to frame them in a narrow bed of mulch, decorated with quahog shells between each plant.
Although I didn't catch anything but a sunburn fishing yesterday, my boyfriend caught 3 fish. Here's a picture of one cute little bass:
The good weather is also very productive for our kitties -several unfortunate mice have shown up on our doorstep after a long winter hiatus. The biggest surprise was our new kitty who hasn't been outside his whole life until now brought us his first present... A chipmunk no less! We are very proud of him.
As a result of thus said fair weather has gotten us into summer food mode. The new Weber grill probably helps that urge on. Very basic dinners lately, though yummy as all get out. Fried chicken, coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, hot dogs and hamburgers...
That's about it for now. I'll try not to be so lazy about my posts this week :)
