Me and my floppy hat have mulched the orchard, chased chickens around the yard, cheered for my son's t-ball team, and planted tomatoes, peppers, garlic, onions and herbs.
The cracks in my hands are stained with dirt and the soles of my shoes caked with chicken poop, and I couldn't be happier. The forecast calls for more of the same.
Me and my floppy hat will be going to the farmer's market tomorrow morning, so I'll be back next week with two weeks worth of local goodness. May you all enjoy Spring this weekend - I think she's very happy to be here.
love that floppy hat :) and the outdoor yard work sounds lovely, I can only dream...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful week, and the plans for my weekend. Early trip to the market, then tilling, fertilizing, and planting. Spring!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great plan for you and your hat!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable hat! I gotta make me one of those! Yes, spring has sprung and it definitely feels nice!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I was wondering about you and those pants... :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're checking in on Habit. I often think of you when I read it. I wish we could meet in person.
where is spring? she ain't in the Northwest yet. my chicks are scratching to get out there.
ReplyDeleteMolly I love your Floppy Hat. And I love your blog. It has never ever failed to make me smile. What a wonderful yet real and grounded life and blog you have. Love the chickens. Hope they are all well. When do the eggs start coming?
ReplyDelete"Floppy hats" are the best! I have a straw one that goes with me everywhere also :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you have been able to plant already, here in the North, I can not get any vegetables in until May 31. :(
Thanks for sharing,

And where did you find the pattern for that floppy hat? It is lovely and I'm coveting, coveting, coveting.
ReplyDeletei wish i had made my floppy hat, but i bought it a few years ago. i've since thought of making a similar hat - perhaps i'll have to search for a pattern.
ReplyDeleteI need a floppy hat like that for all the gardening I'm going to be doing soon.
ReplyDeletedid you make the hat , have you got a pattern , I think my mam would love one of these ?

I thought Slumdog Millionaire was quite good. The soundtrack really stood out - in a good way. I had heard so many vague comments about it being an artificially rosy portrait of life in the slums. Having seen it I would have to disagree. There was a lot of awful realism that I just wasn't expecting after the things I'd heard. The children were wonderful, and I was fixated on the way the game show host said "millionaire". BTW, that must have been a whole heck of a lot of dishes to be able to watch a whole film while doing the clean up!
ReplyDeleteyay! sounds like you have been quite busy! have fun at the farmer's market! :)

adorable hat. I want one!!!
ReplyDeleteOh how delightful - I can't wait for Spring to show herself around my neck of the woods. The sun is up now I just need some green grass, buds and warm temps to come along with it!
ReplyDeleteI love that last picture!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like heaven! I can't wait to get my hands in the dirt this year. We're having one last cold spell but after Good Friday I will be planting along with you. And I think maybe I should get a floppy hat too.
