Almost Summer


" I Wonder"
Jeannie Kirby

I wonder why the grass is green,
And why the wind is never seen?
Who taught the birds to build a nest,
And told the trees to take a rest?
O, when the moon is not quite round,
Where can the missing bit be found?
Who lights the stars, when they blow out,
And makes the lightning flash about?
Who paints the rainbow in the sky,
And hangs the fluffy clouds so high?
Why is it now, do you suppose,
That Dad won’t tell me, if he knows?

JUST BLOOMED TODAY
Those topsy turvey tomatoes!


GARDEN UPDATE
Staying pretty warm today so I got chores done early. Brought in our first apples and apricots will not be far behind. The tomatoes will be tying them for first place!


My MIL told me yesterday that one of her neighbors had a bunch of tomato plants next to her house and they were all blooming..As she mentioned how lucky her neighbor was to have such nice plants,to her horror, the neighbor chopped them all down to the stems, saying she 'heard' that would make better tomatoes! Whew! THAT is why having a garden blog to read is so important!
  
GARDEN GIGGLE
What goes black, white, black, white, black, white?
A panda rolling down a hill.

What's black and white and red all over?
A sunburnt panda.

 Why do pandas like old movies?
Because they're in black and white.

What's black and white and as hard as a rock?
A panda that's fallen in cement.

What's black and white and goes round and round?
A panda stuck in a revolving door.


FAUNA
