Getting the Garden Going

Getting the Garden Going

I finally found a break in the rain and my schedule to get the garden going yesterday. My husband has handed over the veggies to me this year, but he was kind enough to rototill and prep the ground for me before the rains came pouring in during the last couple of weeks. So when the sun popped out yesterday, I donned my rubber boots, grabbed the hoe and put a few seeds in the ground.

So here is what’s planted thus far. Radishes, green onions, lettuce and spinach. We did get potatoes and large onions in before St. Patrick’s Day, but they are in large pots instead of the garden. I also have green bean and cilantro seeds ready to be planted; and Sutherlands had a vegetable sale this morning, so I managed to get up a bit early and grab a few tomatoes, peppers and strawberries to round out the early spring plantings.

“Show Us Your Pyrex” Party

“Show Us Your Pyrex” Party

As many of you may know, Pyrex (the long-lived favorite of the American kitchen) is turning 100 this year. If you’re like me, you still use your tried and true Pyrex baking and storage dishes regularly and have no thoughts of retiring them anytime soon. If you’re also like me, you own a classic piece or two that is way out of date, but somehow whipping it out for church potluck or special events always floods your heart with good memories . . . especially if you grew up in a family where your mama sure knew how to cook (and did).

mypyrexIn celebration of the “Big Hundred,” Pyrex is putting on their party hats and blowing the horns with a nation-wide measuring cup tour and great giveaways during the next few months. If you want to get in on the action, visit their site to enter and see where they might show up next.

Now for the real fun! In fabulous birthday fashion, Small Talk Mama is hosting a “Show Us Your Pyrex” party right here for the next few months. Take photos of your favorite Pyrex and post them at the linked party below so that we can all admire and covet what you have in your kitchen.

So I guess this is where I’m suppose say, “I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours.”

Capturing a Few Spring Blooms

Capturing a Few Spring Blooms

The daffodils finally bloomed last week, along with the forsythia and lone pear tree in our yard; so I took a few moments to snap some pictures while my son played away in the bright afternoon sun. I noticed as we spent the Easter weekend down south in Arkansas that most of their daffodils had already spent themselves, but we saw some beautiful forsythia along the way.
