I like to take walks around the yard to check on my gardens. This year we have hardly gotten any spring sun, so things are slow to grow, as you can see from some of the pics. Everything needs SUN. If we can get a good stretch here, I think everything with grow like CRAZY. I am not sure if our cherry crop is a write- off this year- the two cherries in a pic above are all that seem to be healthy. I personally like all kinds of weather, so the rain doesn't really bother me normally- it is starting to by this time of year as it is hurting my "babies".

For those of you who fell asleep while reading these harrowing descriptions of my plant life, let me wake you up with the news that our BC Bud grown outdoors is in serious jeopardy of rotting at the roots if sunshine doesn't occur ASAP! Ok, I should clarify that we don't personally grow it or use it- it was just a tidbit I heard on the news yesterday. Apparently 15% of the pot grown in BC is outdoors, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it would certainly add up to a large amount of dollars! Sometimes crime don't pay!

In other news, we have a new member of the family: Meet "Tide Water Tiner", our brand new Siamese Fighting Fish.

Tide almost met his maker within the first 24 hours of arriving as Little M took it upon himself to get up early and feed the pets. Mr. Tiner is supposed to get about 2-3 of these pellets at a time.

" What, Mama?"
