First Daffodil!

A couple of weeks ago, I made an impulse purchase of 2 pots of Daffodils. This is the first one to bloom! I can see several more about to open! I can't wait!

Hambone happiness!

Yes, I know. It looks as if I only cook on Sundays. During the school year, that is almost true! In any case, I had a hambone frozen from our Christmas ham, and I was hungry for 15 Bean Soup. The bone went into my new stock pot. (I needed a new large pot with a completely flat bottom for the glass top stove.)

Next came the beans that had been soaking overnight. After a couple of hours of simmering, I added an onion, a couple of cloves of garlic, a can of diced tomatoes, a bell pepper, a couple stalks of celery, salt, pepper, and a dash of lemon juice. After simmering a bit longer, we had 15 Bean Soup for supper.

We enjoyed the soup, and my chickens enjoyed the ham bone!

" MMMMM, peck, peck, tastes like chicken! Just kidding! "

Aren't those fluffy tooties cute?

Teen trio of trouble!

Saturday afternoon remained fairly quiet! I washed countless loads of laundry, vacuumed and mopped the floors. It felt good to get that done. In the evening, the teen-agers multiplied again. They come out at night like mosquitoes! I could tell they were up to something because one of them was carrying a backpack. I then realized they were filling water balloons. They told me that they were going to text their friend Suzanne to tell her to come outside and then blast her. Since she and a friend have toilet papered our tree, I didn't mind! My sweety then tells me they have a "launcher" and are lobbing them from our driveway to Suzanne's house a block down the street! Poor babies are exhausted this morning!

Later, as I am cleaning up in the kitchen, I realize that the water is draining from the sink very slowly. I had already found several empty water balloons in the sink. I assumed they had lost more and left them in the disposal. Not wanting to ruin the disposal, I looked inside. I found a filled water balloon. I fished it out with my kitchen tongs. Somehow, I don't think that one just slipped out of their hands and into my disposal. Could they be hoping I will start the disposal and burst the balloon?

AHHH,and there is the label from the water balloon slingshot they were using. They would never get far as criminals. They leave a trail that is easier to read than a book.

Phooey, they are awake. I wanted to put the water balloon into the shoe of the perp that brought them over!! Maybe the opportunity will still present itself!

Ya'll Come Back!
