See That Green Over There?

I have a feeling the days are ling gone for me working at every little thing I so desire. Big plans in my mind this morning with the weather prediction of sunny and warmer.  First on the list was clean the hardwood floors which usually takes 2 hours, not today it was 3 1/2 hours.  My back was saying, I'm done and my mind said, you better keep going because if you take a break it's all over.  Onward we went (body and mind) from one thing to the next.  I have a problem staying focused when it comes to doing things around the house.  Right in the middle of whatever I will walk by something and start a completely different task.  I guess you might get the picture because it is how blog, one word and my thought gets a little side tracked.  The best way to describe my cleaning and chores today was "walk by".  If I walked by it I  cleaned it, rearranged it or completely tossed it out.  Heck I even had to go out on the back deck and that started a whole new sequences of chores.  All said and done it was a productive day.  I warned the husband that I was cleaning and wanted to be left alone.  It worked! He stayed busy getting "my" lawnmower ready for the first cutting.  Nothing worse than see the first growth of grass and the lawn mower is still apart from oiling and sharpening the blades.  Not this year, I'm ready.  I love mowing the lawn and brush hogging the fields.  It won't be long, I'm predicting by April 20th.

See that green over there?  I also will give another prediction (maybe wishful thinking)  we will have our first leek dinner by April 13, one week from today.  We took a walk this afternoon to check on the leeks.  They are just sticking up enough to see the little green spears which will probably be rolling out into leaves by the end of the week.  Dick dug 2 because he just couldn't resist tasting the first leeks of spring.  One word, HOT.
My one word will be at bedtime, YUCK.  Not good if one eats leeks and the other doesn't.  Peppy Le'Pew.  Now that takes me back to my favorite little skunk.  Nope not going there.
If you look close you will see the tiny green leeks.  Of course I had to get a picture.

Look really close around the crook of the branch.  This is a desperate leek lover.

The walk put the final touches on my  whipped body.  Mind would still like to keep going but not happening.  The neighbors invited us for dinner, one of those "ahhhhh moments" for me.  Dinner rolls are soon coming out of the oven and potatoes will be whipped, then it's off we go.  I never like to go empty handed.  Plus isn't it nice to take something and  make it a little easier on the hostess?  I know it's appreciated at my house.  My grandsons love the rolls so that was an easy choice.

 Found a nice couple to buy 2 bushel of potatoes from last week.  Sometimes it pays to complain. I had mentioned on a blog post how much the store potatoes cost and not good.   Kim Dickerson from Eleven Mile messaged me they had good potatoes for sale from last falls dig.  Thank you Kim for reading my blog and thinking of me and "passing it on" Yukon Golds for supper tonight and they are as firm as the day they dug them.
