Finally Watering

Well it is finally here....warm sun! Not sure how long it is going to stay but enjoying it while it is here. Yesterday was the first time we actually turned the sprinkler system on! It was the 5th of July! I have this love hate relationship with watering. I really enjoy it in the beginning of the year but when it gets to be late August I hate it! But this year I am starting so late in the season maybe I will make it all the way to October with out letting my pots of flowers wilt! I also had to water the garden last night.....and to my surprise I found Beets!
Anyone know of a good way to cook these things......I don't like them but Jeff does!


I love the sound of water! Whether it is my Bubbling Pot, my Waterfall or just coming out of a Sprinkler! It is soothing to me.....the funny thing is I really don't like to be wet!


I love this weather, I love this weather! Blue sky first thing in the morning, sun shining and warm! I am cooling off the house now and then when I am off to work I will close it all up for the day. We live in the Northwest....we don't have air conditioning :(

  1. I just heard a news story yesterday telling how beats are really good for you...we love beets. I boil the beats until tender and then simmer them with a cup of orange juice, a little orange zest and a dash of nutmeg or sometimes I just use orange marmalade. You can cook the greens like spinach, too. I never realize how many pots I have planted until I have to water them all...good exercise, but keeps me busy.

  3. I will have Anthony send you the way he made them! You need to either save some our plant more so we can have them when we are there!! I loved them! Who knew! I HATE THE BUBBLING POT!!!
