Storms Galore

Got a good cycle going of morning sun and afternoon showers. Just love the thunder and lightning, wind and rain.
A double rainbow touched down out in the meadow.
Sweet pea market's starting to get some good produce in from palisade. Finally, fresh veggies!
Starting to feel like summer, but still dipping into the 30s overnight.

Go nuggets!

Go green

Really greening up. A hot week led into a beautiful rainy weekend. Perfect planting weather. We put in carrots, some hardy herbs, and more peas and greens. Also set out the first set of broccoli starts. Three varieties ( Dicicco, Atlantic, and Calabrese). Twenty-eight starts along a forty foot row.Some marigolds are starting to peek out.
The taters are up and loving the weather.
The onions are big enough to get a mulch of straw.
The peas, greens and radishes we put in last weekend are up and going off. Not much else going on. Just another ho hum week in paradise.

jubilation

The aspens are really popping this week
Big wind came in on the heels of this thing early in the week.
Which made cutting tough on the hill.
But things settled down for the weekend so we could put in potatoes, peas and greens.

Proverbial Planting

"Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace."
The garden is coming alive. Onions are planted. Garlic is awake. Seedlings are coming on.

exodus

"...and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness..."

Just a hop, skip, and a jump down to four corners area for a little r & r in the dessert.
Well a lot of relaxin' and a little rest.
Four days of hiking canyons, hunting for ruins, and mesa top camping
