GardenQuilts, I never met an omelet I didn't like. I have small round pyrex bowls and we will mix all that up and make "Egg McMuffins" when we have english muffins.

Smiling over Tiffany. Our neighbor has been playing something that reminds me of old movies on an island, where the natives beat the tom-toms for days before they are going to attack. Makes me feel like attacking first, LOL. I see why torture works! At least they are nice neighbors and it really doesn't bother me much.

Chris, I know your next treatment was in May, so I'm betting that's why you aren't here. Dang my memory.

It's been windy here for days and we have a freeze warning tonight. I counted out hot caps, deli buckets and pots that roses came in to cover all the tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and cabbage that I couldn't wait to get out. I had to do the tomatoes because one nice stem snapped at dirt level, by being tangled with another. That's why I plant extra. I have peat pots of squash for me and my Dad, and watermelom and muskmelon just for Dad. I wish I had room for them, but I don't.

We are so lucky to have homegrown melon stands close. I could it it every day of my life, along with the hot wings and jalapeno poppers. Hey, meat, veggie and fruit! A balanced meal :o)

My iris are just starting to open as the lilliputs are going out. I've been taking notes already with ideas that may or may not happen. I sure do like a long winding iris bed like some I've seen here, but where and how do I sneak it in? I'll get back to you on that!

We had 1/2'' of rain and I was hoping the asparagus was really going to pop out of the ground. We have thin ones making a frond already. When we are done cutting, the stalks will grow off and on all summer. What a fine mess of asparagus we could have in the fall!

I hope you are able to check in soon Chris. I'll be back to calling you Lady again.

This isn't far from my place. I just love his idea. She was my kindergarten teacher.
