Oh, So Good to be Back in the 'Dacks!

Look!  Our little place, still just as we left it last fall, hooray!!

Coffee, Mimosas and the Chronicle on a crisp Adirondack morning.  Nothin' better.

The fish were biting!  

And here is *my* fishing gear!  Yes, this was my Mother's Day present - a new fishing rod of my own, some lures and a fishing license!  I only caught one fish, but the hours spent sitting on the pier with my feet dangling in the water, gazing at the lake were wonderfully relaxing.  

Our daughter caught more fish than I did, and that was even with spending half her time swimming and rescuing our snagged lures, lol.

Priceless.  Thank you, Lord!

The end.

My Mother's Day, One Day Early

Kentucky Fried Chicken "bucket" (with free chocolate chip cake) = about $20.00

Fun day with my family eating KFC, walking along the beach of the Hudson River in Kingston, NY and finding 16 geocaches = priceless.  :-D

That's the Kingston Rhinecliff bridge in the distance.

I also got my Mother's Day present, which was a total surprise to me, but very awesome and thoughtful!  It's late and I don't have any pictures yet, but it's not discount perfumes, or jewelry or anything like that.  I'll give you a hint - it's something I can use a lot up at the cabin...  I'll take pictures and show you soon what I got.

What did you do for Mother's Day?  What nice presents did *you* get?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all my Mommy Bloggin' and Blog Readin' Peeps!

Seedling World!

That's what our sunroom is like this time of year!  :-)

We've been taking them outside little by little to "harden them off".  The first year of our garden we didn't even know we were supposed to harden them off and then when we planted our seedlings in the garden they all slumped over and looked on the verge of death for about two weeks before they started to revive and grow again.  Last year we tried hardening them off but clearly we didn't do it right because the same thing happened.  So we're trying again to succeed at starting seedlings inside and then successfully transplant them to our garden without the "slumping death's door" two week period.

Do you harden off your garden plants?  How do *you* do it??

The end.
