LMA-Spring-Easter

.

Easter, you lucky dog, people save their money for months to go away too a spa. Here you are getting mud baths; massages; special cuisine; pampered; groomed; beautiful females all around, and now you want me to clean your coat! "OK"!

.
Now I can see why Steven used to call you the "Blond Pig". Such a good boy though. I wonder who is training who here. At least someone lives well, that's a good thing. Easter really likes it when the rains come, and he really doesn't want the dirt to come off, it's his natural protection. I usually let it stay till I need to ride him' after that I shower him so he can go roll in the dirt again.

Hey guess what! Since the Iris Pictures are not ready here are Jerry,and Diane's Grand Daughter"s with a new colt "Chisholm", I believe the mare is Dolly.

Things get pretty busy in horse country this time of year.

I can't remember it snowing this time of year down here in the desert, not to worry though, I have plenty of firewood still.--------------------Mikey.

PS I love you MOM!

New Season has begun.

.


Not a bad start, nothing like the lush lawns in Idaho, just that around here any green is rare most of the year. We cut this a little long hoping the Zukes and Melons will be able to get started before we line the rows. LMA gardening has the shotgun and volunteer model for intensive growth, after it starts we decide where the rows will be, then mow the rest.

This is the afternoon photo.

Next morning, looks like a tumble weed. Just for your information, the small plants by the Texas Fan Ash are second year Artichokes, make beautiful blossoms later in the summer, not going to mow those.

.

Easter sure is nosy, he's into everything. Where do you have to be sitting to get this shot?

.

One thing about spring is anticipation, I'm sure Even if I migrate the LMA north, this will be a pleasure to leave the new owner. Should that take much longer I still have things set up the way I love them. Going one day at a time.

.

Waiting by the fire place for the next story. (Iris bloom any time now).-------Mikey.

PS I love you MOM.

Still Waiting

.

Yes here it is, April all ready.

Still waiting for the Iris Plants to bloom, expect photos next week, Still waiting.

.

.

Still waiting for word on the sale of the LMA. Getting a lot of positive feed back, some confirmation of information coming in, SHOULD WORK OUT IF. Still waiting. Cool Clear waiting,waiting,waiting.

.

In the meantime there are various plants coming up in the Victory Garden, problem is we don't know for sure what all of them are, many will be unknown volunteers for now, have to wait a while to find out. Looking for a nice vegetable variety, planted plenty of seeds from packets, and seeds we saved from last year, really hope it turns out half as well as last year. Guess we'll have to wait and see, waiting,waiting,waiting.

.

I did get the power push lawn mower running, since there isn't any grass tall enough to cut I guess I'll have to wait on the grass to grow. ( All together now). All that have followed the LMA for some time will be proud to know that I finally got "That Darn Tractor" fixed, If At First You Don't Succeed Wait till later THEN getter er done! Waiting, waiting, waiting.

.

Next week I also plan to get photos of the trees, Brian pruned them all, they are starting to leaf out now, and the Mondale Pines look like they came from a country club. The Poplar limbs we put in a barrel full off water six weeks ago, and they have little green leaves on them, five we just planted to see if they would start on their own, waiting, waiting, waiting. Hard to believe I haven't had a beer yet, Waiting, waiting,waiting.

.

"OK" it's a slow news day. I'm sure I'll be hearing from all of you soon, ( All together now).

.

"WAIT" I know what I can do! I'll start a fire, Open a BEER and "WAIT" over there!-----MIKEY.
