The tomatoes are here!

 

Now to hide them from the cats.  The only way the little darlings will survive is to lock them in my bedroom 24/7.  Well, 24/7 until Saturday when everyone, tomato and potato alike, will get their own beds in the garden.  I can almost taste the summer tomatoes, food of the gods!

Now, if the monsoon would kindly end, I'll get outside and pull up the thousand weeds that have grown since last Friday when I weeded.  Yes, the monsoon can end any time now.  My basement has already had it's spring flood.  Since the litter boxes are in the basement, I now have little dirty cat prints all over my house.  I'm going to have to scrub the place from top to bottom once the rain ends and the basement dries up.  I wonder if I can teach the cats to wipe their paws when they come up from the basement.

I finally "discovered" the BBC show "Sherlock" this week.  My cousins in Houston told me how good it was when I saw them last November but I never got around to watching it until now.  I loved it!  Hey, Lynne and Lucia, you didn't tell me there were only three episodes!  I devoured episodes 1, 2 and 3 and went looking for more only to find that there weren't any.  Rats!  I have to wait until Fall for the next episodes.  Benedict Cumberbatch plays Sherlock (could his name BE more British?!) and he's wonderful.  He's a great intense, always-in-control Sherlock.  And he has this amazing pair of blue eyes.  Gorgeous!  If you're looking for something to watch this weekend, "Sherlock" is a good choice.  (I watched it on my computer via Netflix.)  Even if you're not into blue eyes like I am.

Anyone have any fun plans for the holiday weekend?

We'll be out in the garden planting tomatoes, peppers, cantalope, watermelon, winter squash, rosemary and sweet basil. Hope to get over to Tawas City for the Arts and Craft festival on Sunday.

I think Benedict Cumberpatch needs to be the name of my next cat! Not that I have plans for a new cat any time soon!

I envy that your spring is really just now starting, I'm not sure how much longer strawberries will be here. I love your shawl/neck wrap, I need to make one!!! I've been racking my brain trying to come up with a new project for vacation. Definitely socks, but maybe lace too...
