It is that time of year again. That time to play America's Game. Little league try outs were this past Friday night and the draft was last night. Now I sit by the phone, like a teenage girl waiting for a boy to call. We wait for the manager of what ever team that has drafted our boys to call. Both are in the minor division this season, and for logistical reasons we requested that they be on the same team. Try outs went well, But NWs was a bit better, and we know of two teams who have him as their number one pick. ND also did well, but he needs work on catching pop flies. So tick tock goes the clock, and every time the phone rings, I jump....
Saturday, while, Senior was working on his rocket stove, NW and I got out in the back yard, and cleaned out my raised beds. Then we turned the soil, and put in some radishes and carrot seeds.
The one little plant is cabbage, that NW brought home from school as a project.
By this time of year the freezes are not as harsh, and should we get one, I will just cover the boxes with a tarp.
I was also playing with my camera, and caught this pick of Jack the Cat sitting up in the "Crows Nest" of his cat tree. That is his place of solitude when he wants to escape the wrath of Libby and the kids...
How exciting! Congrats! Do hope they make the teams they want.....
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how I am more excited then the kids are..lol
Deleteyikes Gurlie...i can just see you jumping like a mexican jumping bean every time the phone rings! i hope the boys get a good team and i hope they can get on the same team which will make it easier on you and Senior getting them to practices and games. jack sure don't look like he bin missing any meals lately - bahahahahah! THAT cat is FAT Gurlie! congrats and good luck with that little cabbage...are you planning on planting anything in the next week or so? if so, i am extremely jealous. we'll be able to plant some cold weather crops in the greenhouse in the first week of march. as well as starting tomatoes and a few other things inside the house greenhouse. i can't wait for spring proper to arrive!!! lots of love...and let us know when you get the call about the boys' team!
ReplyDeleteyour friend,
kymber
Jack is not Fat... Mobey is ! bahahahahahaha! I once had an ole white cat that weighed over 23 pounds, he a real lap cat, nothing beat having all that fat climbing in to your lap every night to snuggle...he was such a good kitty..I miss him.
DeleteI think when we move to SC, senior had talked of building me a greenhouse, first on the list though is my chicken coop.. oh and the boys want a tree house..lol
Good luck with the ball teams! And I'm betting Senior ends up getting 'drafted' to assist too!
ReplyDeleteHe is going to assist. I did not want him being a head coach, because of all the stress from dealing with over zealous parents.. lol
DeleteJUGM,
ReplyDeleteI hope both boys get selected for the same team making things a little easier for all.
You've planted radish and carrots, I'm so jealous. Your already planting in the ground.....grrrrrr!!!! I'm planting inside the house, can't wait to hit the ground running with seeds :-)
Just a suggestion on the radish, you may want to block them in. They love to take over gardens. Mine took over 2 years ago an entire box smothering off some of my other veggies.
You know what? I did do that this year with my radishes. I also planted just a small number of them. My kids love carrots more, and these are the really big giants ones, so they are excited about it.
DeleteBaseball is another sign spring is near. I hear the county fairs are starting too, in your neck of the woods. Warmer weather so close, yet so far away...Good luck to the boys.
ReplyDeleteThis morning, the robins were all out in force looking for bugs to eat in peoples yards...so yea spring must be near. Be patient, it will come to MN soon too.
DeleteNot fast enough for me. Big kymber belly laugh.
