Life in the fast lane

That title really is an exaggeration!  There was nothing fast other than the day went by very fast.   By 7:30 am we  headed  to Bells Run for a load of hay.    Unfortunately for me waking up to  look at the clock (with one eye barely open)  is not good.  I thought it said 6:50 and knowing we had to pick up hay at 8:00 I jumped out of bed.  Dick is always up early to make coffee and have quiet time. When my feet hit the floor I am talking and I'm sure that can be annoying.  By my second cup I checked to see if it was time to go.   It was only 6:15 which meant I got up at 5:50........ewwwww I will be in bed by 9 pm tonight.

After 2 loads of hay, fixed breakfast, went to the high school baseball game at 10, home at noon, lunch (easy  protein shake), it was time to spend 4 hours at the garden.  We did get posts set, 100 feet of wire stretched and ready to attach and the gate poles in place.  Everything  will be waiting  tomorrow for us, enough for today.  I  have a feeling after this beautiful day there will be a lot of people feeling like we do. TIRED, ACHY AND WHIPPED.

The nice surprise was the chives are big enough to eat.  We had them in scrambled egg sandwiches this morning and they did taste good, chives are tender and a very mild flavor.   No after taste like garlic, green onions/spring onions or leeks.  I have lots of chives that reseed each year, if you want some to plant just send me a message. As the chives mature which only takes a few weeks they have a beautiful lavender colored flower.  I put the blossoms in white vinegar in a clear jar, pretty to look at plus gives the vinegar a nice flavor for salad dressings. The garlic is also up.  No sign of asparagus yet, we are very anxious to pick this year.  This is the 3rd year since planting and we can pick lots on the third year.  Year 1 and 2 are establishing years for asparagus beds.  We like it so it's worth the wait.
