In The Backyard

Garden time

It’s just the place to be right now…

I’m so hoping that ant is checking out a bud on my oak leaf hydrangea — is this the year? Alliums are getting ready to burst open! The fiddlehead ferns are growing like weeds (which is how I often tend to think of them)… but we are going to be (safely) enjoying some of the shoots in a leek, asparagus & fiddlehead fern quiche tonight — every bit of it locally grown (including eggs from Ali’s brood). Pan is in the garden! Stored (light-starved) plants are out of the basement!

As I was trying to capture the photo above the other night, Dash (neighbor cat) walked by and bumped my arm…

…and I hit the button that turns the camera around while simultaneously taking a photo! Well, hi there!!

It should be a fairly nice weekend in these parts and I’m looking forward to getting outside!! I hope you can get out there, too (if you wanna). Happy Weekend!

  1. It all looks so green (and bright yellow)! I would be stopping in for dinner if I lived closer; it sounds quite delicious.

  2. Sounds like a delicious quiche. My parents were very fond of fiddlehead ferns. I always found them to be ba bit on the bitter side (probably would like them now…). I like your selfie!!

  3. The quiche sounds interesting, I have never eaten fiddleheads before. Such a beautiful yarn and great photo of you.

  4. Love the cement block with the hand prints. My dad put my foot prints into a cement piece on the house he built. Then when they bought 2 acres out of town he moved it to there. He eventually sold it to a nephew who build on the property, then eventually moved. I wonder if the block is still out there, lol. Maybe I’ll check with most recent owners to look. 🙂
