Rick loves all of our dogs but Jack speaks to his heart.  He loves this little guy with every fiber of his being.   I just pray that this little dog lives a very long time.  Every evening this little guy waits for "poppy" to come home and then expects "poppy" to sit in his chair and he gets to be his leg warmer for the evening.  That little guy will lay there all evening, all day, whatever.  He loves his poppy and he loves his time with poppy in the chair.  FYI - the chair is Jack's so if poppy is not available the chair is still taken.

Tomatoes and Figs

My little plants are growing like crazy.  I hope this weather mellows out so I can get them planted.

They are getting too big for their little cups.  There are a few other plants like tomatillos and bell peppers. 
I tried another fig recipe and I'm  not crazy about this one either. 
Luckily, my husband runs a shop with 5 men who love food.  These were gone the first 30 minutes. 

The weekend is almost here again.  I can't wait.  So much too do and never enough time.  The sun is shining today so hopefully it will this weekend.  I need to go check the weather for the weekend.  I'm sure I need to mow at Dad's.
Have a great day everyone!

Spring is close


Look at the little baby leaves on our fig tree.  I can't believe how large this tree has gotten thru the years.

About mid July it will be loaded with figs.
And we'll be fighting the birds and squirrels for them.

After a rainy weekend we've had a couple of sun shiny days.  I know our winter was nothing compared to the poor people north of us, but I'm glad it's coming to an end. 
Have a good day.
