The weather is so nice, maybe too nice.  We are in the high 70’s each day and stay in the 50’s at night, much too warm for this time of year.  The plants are all blooming too soon, if we get a hard frost we will loose all our berries and fruit.  The peaches are setting and the blueberries are blooming.  The crab apple tree is just about ready to open its buds so they are all thinking it is mid spring with no danger of frost.  I hope they are right.  The lettuce is up, as well as the beets and swiss chard.  The onions are growing well.  No sign of potatoes yet but as soon as they come through I’ll hill them so I can protect them.   Yesterday    we planted the 12 aspagrus roots and one rubarb root as well as the new blue berry bush.  Then I cooked and made bread and a custard pie.  Today I weeded more of the hosta garden and Norman worked on cleaning up the trees he cut down earlier.  I marked the dogwood trees so he would not cut those when he starts cutting more in that section, which will be tomorrow I guess.  Duston comes at two for an hour.  He is doing well and get brushed up on his math skills.  We will go over the other tests he needs for the ASVAB test as well.  There isn’t much for young people to do around here after they graduate from high school so he wants to join the Army and would like to pick out a good job there so needs a high enough score on the test to be able to get the job he wants.       This is my bleeding heart.  It is blooming already this year but not ub fykk bloom as this was.  It will be even bigger this year.   Behind that is the fox gloves which come later in the summer and behind that is the hellabo which is in full bloom now.   This is the hellabor, there are two of them together here, one pink and a smaller white one.  The pink one is older, I brought that from Blairsville.   The one you see here is the while one with a piece of the pick one on the left.  As the flower starts to go by it turns almost white, the smaller one is white all the time.  These flower even before the crocuses, they come up through the snow.  some people call them the lenten rose.    these are the flower boxes in the front of the house.  they face the west so don’t get much sun until the afternoon and then it is very  hot.  The spring bulbs do well here in the spring and the mums like it in the fall.  There is a small rose that likes it all year round and I put some herbs in here each summer.  You will notice the steps come right down to the road, so the UPS truck come in I don’t get off the steps and he doesn’t have to get out of his truck to give me that package.  Good thing we have a private drive and never have anyone come down our road.    All for now Have a great day.
