Memorial Day

The Unknown Soldier - Roger J. Robicheau

"You need not ever know my name
This unknown soldier seeks no fame

I'm here to bring out thought from you
May your heart see more than your view

America, we marched with pride
We gave our life, for you we died."

That's What We Do

Snowing on Memorial Weekend

Miserably cold weekend.  It was cold and raining and our friends called to say it was snowing just south of town.  Today called for a big crock pot full of chili.  Homemade bread on the side completed our day.

Late Start

Radish

 

Even the worst gardener can grow a radish. 

Blooming Onions

 Onions are starting to bloom!  Hooray

Working for the Weekend

Birthday Flowers

There is a school of thought that believes 

you're only as old as you feel,

and that age has nothing to do with the number of candles 

on your birthday cake.

 Actor John Barrymore has his own thoughts on the subject of growing older.  "A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.".  To stay young, keep your dreams alive leaving no room for regrets.

More Mushrooms

False Morel

Mushroom Hunting

We had a great time hunting for Morels

 Enjoyed them even more sauteed in butter for dinner

Useful Tools on the Side of the Road

  Souls wouldn't wear suits and ties, 

they'd wear blue jeans and sit cross-legged with a glass of red wine.

I Must Float, Not Drown

 From a single point of nothingness the prince started to ascend. He saw how all contingent things from the single point upwards must be impermanent. If there was change, it could be no other way. He saw how from the single point to every point there was connectedness. He saw from the most complex down there was emptiness, there were only points, no things in themselves. He saw how all things, out of a finite space of things, inevitably would tend towards less or nothingness.

Still Raining

 I'm just about done with water....I know I'll regret saying that in about 1 month.

New Bird Spotting

 New bird:  Lazuli Bunting

 I love when we find a new bird at our feeder.

Ladies Tea

Lovely ladies tea at church.

Hen Harrier Hawk

This morning while changing irrigation, we came upon these beauties.

 Lovely pair of Hen Harrier Hawks have a secure haven in our field

 At first they dive bombed Tim as he moved the wheel line but they've settled now.

Summer's Coming

Sweet...Literally

I Heart San Francisco

Water is ON
