i told Mom "Happy Father's Day" when we got up first thing in the morning. she always gets a laugh out of that. i did call Dad later and he didn't answer but eventually did call back. we chatted for a bit.

you can tell how awake i am as i just read that as Happy Tuesday...

it all looks so delicious! :)

they are all over, sometimes quite a ways from water as they can dig down to the ground water level. we have them here all over the place, any low spot they will claim parts of either side a bit up from the bottom.

all parts weeded, leveled and ready for planting. i do a little light cultivating of the rows before planting so that i can get the seeds down far enough that they won't pop back out when watering. while this is still a pretty good garden with the soil quality better than most of the others it...

went out fairly early for me and got to weeding. most of the garden was ok except a few thistles i needed to dig out and around to make sure i got all their roots. no fun those, but the rest was ok. i still the back corner to finish up where all the tulips are at - a few hours at most. i'd...

the last part of the fenced gardens to get weeded and planted with beans. it will go faster than the others as it is the lightest soil garden i have in there and i've already partially weeded it, but we'll see how it goes. if all works out i get it planted this weekend and can mow on Monday...

been cool here too at night, but daytime temperatures have been pretty good for getting stuff done. that is about to change again back to warmer in the days up to the mid-80sF this mid-week, but i'm hoping i can get the last of the fenced gardens weeded and planted this weekend and then mow on...

another garden ready to be leveled and planted. i didn't push yesterday so hard, but at least i did get that done plus watering everything. a lot of sprouts coming up. :) beanie babies! *bounce bounce*

i only have driven across the camel hump of Texas (going over to hit the road at Clines Corners in NM that goes up to Santa Fe) normally i am ready by then to take a nap outside Amarillo before i finish the trip. it's been many years since i've driven that ways now. i'm not even sure i could...

of course, of course...

pedal to the metal and the stink in the sink...

it wasn't me you were looking for...

we had a bit of rain this morning. i would not have minded more... i am trying to lever my butt out of this comfy perch and just not getting enough oomph yet to do it. two hours of weeding might be my limit for the day - which assumes i'm actually going out there. it will be ok once i get...

a nice chunk of garden got weeded and planted yesterday and even if it was hot out there was a breeze. so much of a breeze i didn't get the bean pods put out in that garden that i wanted to bury so the worms could take care of them. they'll go out eventually in some garden but i'm not sure...
