Ric, you are quick! These are show quality for 4-H kids. DD is trying to get a business going on their little farm. They look pregnant even when they aren't. They also cough a lot, but they are tame and fairly gentle except for pushing at feeding time. The little one's were frolicing that day and I had no idea their ears were up.

LadyG, I got 6 wide rows of spinach put out yesterday. I bought orange utility flags to mark new plants for watering and decided they would make good garden markers. I used a paint pen and made one for each spinach row and one for the peas, even tho they are planted on a fence. I'm debating on putting out radish and turnip yet. It's supposed to rain tonight. I'd sure like to catch the first rain. I love the first real day of warmth. We had hot sun, a cooling breeze and 80°.

Critter, I'll have to find your article. I get so busy I barely have time to get everywhere on Dave's. One of my tomato seedlings is up. I tried the small Italian ''Principe Borghese'' last year. I discovered sun dried tomatoes and am hooked! But, I'm not paying for a small jar when I can make my own. The Grandkids found them and stood out in the garden eating every ripe one I had. It was so funny, and there's always this year!

Today is the last really warm day. Rain is to move in and we're to be a more seasonable 60's. I've tried to weed and have had company each time :o) Oh well. It's easier to find the dandilions when they're the only flower in the flower bed. I wish they were rarer. I think they're pretty.

I'm so glad he wasn't striking a ''Gangster Rap'' pose.

He was making a bunny.
