Apparently I got a bit too much sun yesterday.

Finally! The one perfect spring day here in the mid-Atlantic.
Divine.
Next up 89 degrees, humid, storms, July.
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
More for my benefit; it's around the same timeframe, but I had a different theme in mind. "You're taking this very personal. Turk, this is business and this man is taking it very, very personal..."
We will get to see both of the "masculine children" this weekend, I think. Plan is to give them hugs and kisses, fill them full of multi-generational Easter cooking, send them off with a good haul of sweets (except of course the various York and Reese's products that I skim off the top - just enough to "wet my beak" if you will), and let them handle their end-of-semester business as they see fit without taking it "personal".
"Quality is not an option!"
In a Piano Man kinda mood tonight.
Some jerk backed into my car in a parking lot and mooshed the rear passenger fender thing. Nearly 3k worth of damage.
And I say some jerk because I discovered it as I unloaded groceries at home. Hit and run.
Off to the underwriter nice and early this am to have them confirm the damage.
Phoooooooey.
Planting my herbs and veggies today. All new soil, new drainage rocks, all new plants. One more trip to Lowe’s and everything should be done in an hour. I am pooped.
Good gravy, what a crappy day here. I was out in the cold wind rain and wind every time I tried to get this project done.
But it’s done. No hail expected (fingers crossed).
Herbs: dill, chives, Italian parsley, rosemary, oregano, sage, lemon thyme, mint, sweet basil.
Veggies/fruit: heirloom zucchini (2), four types of tomatoes (Roma, red cherry, yellow cherry, beefsteak), three types of bell peppers (red, sweet yellow/orange hybrids, mildly hot bells), squash, okra.
Flowers/color tomorrow. Big fan of Scarlet Begonias for some reason.
That’s why you have to play hide the zucchini.
Um, that didn’t come out quite right . . . .
Our family did a cooking class in Rome last year, and one of the spring delicacies there is stuffed zucchini blossoms. So last year I planed zucchini but used most of the flowering buds for that. There is a difference between the male and female buds, and which you should use — will be Googling such things in about 45 days and hoping it does not put me on a weird NSA list.
The last time I planted, I was overrun with zucchini.
