Ok after listening to the news on the swine flu, and coming to work and hearing a girl hocking up loogies (sorry!) I am completly freaked out and my hypocondria is kicking in.

Boy did it rain today. We got probably 2 inches and I can hear my grass growing. I love this stage of spring because everything is so green. My peas are growing and filling in. Don't think we will get a huge amount. The zuchinni, butternut and pumpkins are exploding. I will take photos when I can fire up the weedeater and mower and get it looking good.

The tall weedy grass around the edges of the beds and the compost piles look like trash but the chickens love them when I pull them up.
^
The green herons who are building a nest in my pond are sounding off almost constantly. I am thrilled to have them. Still don't have a huge amount of frogs like we did last year. Don't know why.

I went to Kroger and found that they have a special on wines. If you buy 6 bottles of wine, you get 20% off. I bought 6 and none of them were over 5.99 each because a ton of them were on sale on top about that. So I will be going back for more. I am stocking up. They also provided a wonderful cloth carry bag that is re-usable.
^
Also, they have a sale on 2# of the most huge wonderful mouthwatering blackberries for a killer price and no limit. I bought 32#. I will freeze all but 2. I have 16 on trays in the freezer now and will vacume seal into single serving sizes when frozen.
^
Also they had bananas for .39 per pound. when they become ripe, I will dip them in lemon juice and freeze. Once frozen i will again, freeze in vacume sealed bags. I can use those for smoothies, ice cream and more during the lean months or winter.
^
I am keeping my eyes on the small wild blackberries around my property and plan on harvesting those also. If I can beat the birds. I am going to eat the 30 bluberries growing on my new bushes. I will freeze next year or the year after.
