More Signs of Spring

The temperature got up over 80 today so the leaves on the trees should be popping out fast in the next couple of days. Tomorrow is supposed to be around 90. Whew.

I love this creeping phlox! I had always wanted some so finally planted some at the old house. Moved it temporarily while the new house was being built and then got it moved in front of the new house last year. It's blooming great in it's new home to be enjoyed every year now! Might have to get some of the pink and white too. Just wish it bloomed like this all summer.

The ruffled pansies have really grown.







This is Peggy's asparagus patch and the spears are really popping up fast with this warm weather. We got to have some last night and at lunch today - yum! I checked ours that's in the ditch and had 3 spears to pick today. I don't think we'll be eating any from the ditch from now on though. There have been articles with concern about the chemicals that are sprayed on the fields and then it runs off into the ditches and that this is maybe causing some cancers. No sense chancing that when Peggy has plenty and shares!

There sure were lots of people looking for it in the ditches this evening though! And they were mostly guys. I'm surprised that many guys would want to eat asparagus! Maybe they like the fun of finding it - I do! It's kind of like mushroom hunting.

We had just a little rain this morning but not enough to slow the farmers down. The weather forecast is for severe weather tomorrow night after the 90 degree day.

I had an appointment in Poky this morning, a stop at the bank and grocery and then basically had the day off today except for making lunch for Bill and Carl. We had pork loin, cheese potatoes, asparagus, corn, rolls and Texas Cake. After lunch I took Carl to his tractor, and this evening took supper out to Bill and got the seed tender moved for him. Got caught up on some cleaning here at the house today. Bill is still planting tonight. With the auto steer it makes it easier for everybody to work after dark.
