The Kitchen Table

Good Morning on Thursday

It is a bit overcast this morning but still nice out. We could use some rain how about you?

I have mixed up a five gallon bucket of laundry soap that will be ready to put into jugs in the morning.

In a bit Izzi and I plan to go to the garden and pull a few onions to add to my green beans I will put on to simmer with some bacon. While I am out there I might as well pick the cucumbers and the tomatoes.

Around 11:00, I will let my hens out to forage and then I will gather the eggs. The numbers are up to 8 eggs now a day. I have 15 young hens but 4 of them are still too young to lay. I have been sharing my eggs with some friends that can really use them. So far that is what my day will be like. How about you? What are your plans for today? Hope all are feeling well and enjoying whatever weather you have.

I'm heading out to our lakehouse in Maine. Taking my niece and her three very active boys with us, should be fun and exhausting hahaha. Have to be back by Tues. for laser on one eye. Weather is gorgeous.

For the first time in 3 months, I got a haircut. The missus had been complaining about all the stuff on the back of my neck. I told her it was either that or to let is grow longer from my nose and ears!

Thanks for all the comments about the "seedling." Since I have two photos of seedlings here, I'm not sure which one you all meant (except Ellie who specified AA). Awesome Applique X Blazing Saddles is a first-time bloomer. As a one year old, it has a 27-inch scape with 8 buds. There are three leaf bracts that may support lateral branching and lots more buds as it matures. I haven't measured the flower yet, but I would say it's 7-8 inches. Evening Enchantment X Gilded Knight (the last photo) is the 5-year-old seedling I've been photographing for years. The shade of purple changes based on the temperature. It's usually a dark red purple. The flower above was photographed in the afternoon when it had faded a bit. The best year it ever had, it had four-way branching with 23 buds per scape. Most years it has 3-way branching and 18 buds with a 5.5-inch flower. This year, after the dry April and more shade from the neighbor's tree, it only has 9-12 buds per scape. It's an evergreen extra early bloomer that is sunfast and rainfast. Debra

Awww, Edward... What's Geneva Firetruck got over Roses In Snow? I just bought RIN:( I really didn't look anything up before I bought it, so don't know how it performs. Love that first Jerry Nettles x Sp. Starburst seedling. And that first shot of Victorian Lace is gorgeous. Vickie

You are so lucky having that lake view and that mountain view and improved on that even with your beautiful plantings, congratulations! But living on a city lot, we can also improve, I only have a little pond and a lot of hostas, improving on that. Bernd

Will do! I got this email and thought worth passing on. Cleaning for a Reason If you know any woman currently undergoing chemotherapy, please pass the word to her that there is a cleaning service that provides FREE housecleaning - once per month for 4 months while she is in treatment. All she has to do is sign up and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service. This organization serves the entire USA and currently has 547 partners to help these women. It's our job to pass the word and let them know that there are people out there that care. Be a blessing to someone and pass this information along. http://www.cleaningforareason.org/

We have a funeral this afternoon. It's a graveside service and it's been raining all morning. I hope the preacher is not long winded.

We had a new farm building built last winter and they are pouring concrete in it right now. The cement trucks have been rolling in for the past hour. I didn't realize the amount of cement it would take. OK Dave Ramsey, beans and rice, rice and beans. lolol
