Thursday Musings

 It's chilly outside.

I just came in from watching the SpaceX 

Falcon 9 rocket launch.

Unfortunately it was cloudy,

so we only saw little peaks as it slipped

through the clouds on the way to

set some Turkish satellites in orbit.

I taught a Zoom class tonight and told 

my students that when the rocket was going

off at 8:28 we were going to take a short

break and watch it!

(We should have - it was clear out then!)

However, it wasn't clear at the Cape,

so they held it for 45 minutes or so.

But it's up.

So that's good.

Guess what else is up?

The broccoli and kohlrabi!

(And a bed of new peas coming up behind...)

Isn't he cute?????

They take SOOOOOOO long.

Also 

PEAS!!!!!

I've taken to nabbing one or two on my

walk between the barn and the duck yard.

They are growing on that fence and it's 

super easy to sneak my hand through... lol.

PERFECT breakfast!

The sunflowers continue to brighten 

everyone's day!

(Notice another bed FULL of baby peas to the right!)

Kyle planted another 900+ peas the other day!

Also the volunteer marigolds on the ground...

Not too shabby for January, eh?

Notice the RED tomatoes to the left!

Not nearly as many as we hoped for...

but at least they are there!

(If you look REALLY closely at the top left

part of the picture you can see Kyle on the 

ladder - pressure washing the side of the house.)

We are still in the learning stages of this

whole gardening thing.

Hoping for a better harvest on the 

next go-round.

This is the "winter" garden.

Then there will be a "spring" garden...

and then summer.

(Okra and black eyed peas...)

So... fingers crossed that it just gets

better and better!

(I ate a lettuce leaf tonight - it was yummy!)

And I had a nice visit with Soni on the phone

this morning - she was freezing.

It's fun to compare.

We were both freezing - but she was ACTUALLY freezing.

I was just a pansy.

Time to call it a night.

Happy Thursday y'all!
