Time (by Kat)

Hi.
Time keeps on slipping.
And my grandpa is slipping away after years in a nursing home.
My grandma, in an assisted living facility, has to move this weekend to another room, smaller than the one she has now.
So, between keeping my non-lucid grandpa calm, dealing with family country-wide, and moving my grandma, I'm gonna need some time.
Right now, I wish I was more like Bet. She survives on so little sleep. That would buy me some time.
I'll be back in a week at most, I promise.
Right now, I've gotta find time.

And then they were gone (by Kat)

Four weeks ago they were eggs.

Two weeks ago they were growing their first feathers.


And today they were gone.


BTW, you're really glad that this picture wasn't bought to you in
smell-o-vision!

June 1st garden update (by Kat)

So much has been going on in the garden.

Every spring I'm amazed at how looooooong it takes for the season to get here,
but how quickly it takes hold once it does.

Today I'll just show you some of the fruits and veggies.

But the flowers....oh the flowers....

rhubarb

apricots


plums, not nearly as far along

cherries

Walla Walla sweet onions, beets, and broccoli

more beets and broccoli

cauliflower, and lots of weeds

wispy little leeks, and lots more weeds

garlic, peas, and potatoes (and still more weeds)

Would anyone like to come help me weed?
Please?
