Gorgeous Weather!

Today, as much as I love a good, stormy, cloudy, cool day, is probably a reflection of my second favorite type of weather.  A weather sweet spot, if you will.

I have been busying myself with indoor tasks lately, as our weather has warmed a tad (I know, I know.  Cry me a river, my northern brethren are thinking. Yes, I feel compelled to add that disclaimer to all my grouchy weather commentary.😉) and with the combined humidity that makes me wilt, I thought it would be a good time to do a bit of Spring cleaning.  So, busy I have been.  Well, that and napping (did I mention this weather makes me wilt?  Oh yeah, I did.  Sorry.).

I haven't been a total garden slouch though, nor a total hermit.  I do have to go outside long enough to tend to my tender seedlings so they don't succumb to the warm winds that have been blowing things around in our yard lately.  And I have been busy planting bulbs, asparagus and blueberry bushes (to name a few).  I am determined to be more diligent in the garden this year.  Determined, I tell ya.  I am no master gardener, and am still learning.  With what feels like more failures than successes, each year I feel like throwing in the towel.  "I will never garden again!", I declare, in my minds loudest voice.  And then, after a brief sabbatical, the soil and seeds beckon me to try...One. More. Time.

Our FoodSaver is an older model but here is a similar one.
The Roll Combo Pack was purchased a few years back at Sam's Club and has lasted for.ever!  Here is a comparable pack.
Hubby and I both agree that it has been an excellent investment.

But today, OH TODAY (!!!)  our weather is perfectly PERFECT!  So, the baking (no knead bread experiment~still haven't made it. And a hubby requested cherry dump cake.) and putting up of the poundage of asparagus I snagged on sale at Kroger (.88 lb!) I planned to do today may have to wait.  (I did manage to blanch & freeze five pounds last night)  At least until the sun goes down.

Now I'm off to wander the (postage stamp) property and play with my plant babies...

Thanks for stopping by! ~TJ
