Spring in Ohio






We must be thinking alike. I tried to post these pics last night but my tech skills are limited so I had to wait until today to get the proper instruction. I hope they come up. I am posting these pics to show the progress of some of our natural wonders. I never knew I had such professional competition. I think Michel is really a Martha wannabe! It looks like you have your work cut out for you with the size garden you are putting in. I just bought two tomato plants today but we are expecting frost tonight so I will have to wait to put them out.

Talk with you all or see you all on the blog.

What is all this gardening business?
Is there something wrong with buying genetically altered tomatoes at Wal Mart? Don't you believe in supporting scientific progress and the global economy?

Michel have you given up on the tennis racket and trading it in for the dirt shovel?
You can't compete against the farmers in Ohio!!!!
Get back on the tennis court!!!

where is your feminine side?

templin said...

Just because you have not seen my feminine side, does not mean it is not there.
Just last night Trey said my frozen Stouffers mac and cheese was dilicious.

Well, about tennis versus gardening, dear Templin, remember you made me throw my beautiful - well taken care of - nicely ironed - immaculately white - still fitting after all these 25 years - adidas tennis shorts to the dustbin some years ago. It took me 5 years to recover, with the help of a good analyst and some strong medecine (tomato juice actually saved me from falling into despair).
Now all I have got left is a pair of gardening pants and a new mission : show these Ohio guys what our vegetables are made of !

Michel,
I remember the exact day that I had to break the news to you about your shorts. I can tell it was very painful for you. I am sorry but they were far from "still fitting". It is possible that they just have been starched too many times.
But the truth of the matter was...(I usually can get pass what a person wears as long as he can strike the ball) the whole family unanomously voted for me to tell you to "change the look". The pressure from them was unbearable for me. I did it it as kindly as I could, believe me it was better to hear it from me than from your sister in law, you know the one in Ohio.
Any way I think you can pull off the "RAFA Nadal" look. It will showcase your farming and swimming muscles beautifully.
Think about it!!!
Good luck!!!
