next to the chair is a vintage wooden wagon that jack gave me on our first christmas together 31 years ago the gumball machine in the wagon holds marbles sorry this one is a wee bit blurry but i just

spring tonic 3 at crack in the sidewalk farmlet was enjoyed last night as usual a scrumptious meal and drinks farm to table some of it foraged all locally grown or raised four fantastic chefs two

lol next was a rum drink with lemon balm and herbs and tiny pink flowers floating along with the first course of wild georgia duck shumai lardo morel confit fermented mushroom glaze and shiso kind of like stuffed pillows of spicy rice over greens yum unfortunately i ate mine and so did everyone else before i thought to take a picture lol then came a foraged crack in the sidewalk green salad with

lemon and bitters along with the next course of blue catfish stew crosnes alliums nettle dumplings and funions it was so good then a wild boar and venison sharma with sunchoke rita and pickled salsify and fresh naan with sumac and along with that a dish of morels lacinato kale divalia onion flying dragon citrus cured goose egg yolks and and yes there was more couscous stinging nettle burnt garlic

comments wednesday april 22 2015 it s a bright beautiful day today on earth day and as promised i took some pictures of my backyard garden today we used vintage windows that had been removed from a craftsman style home fastened them together with flat brackets and put stakes at each side of the windows because we had a little opening at each corner we used pieces of a roll of white wooden fencing to tie the corners together so left to right shots here with a garden gate between we sunk two posts and hung a screen door for the gate i painted the top of the screen but didn t realize that it wouldn t show unless we had something dark behind it so i painted a thin piece of wood black and nailed it to the back of the door so what have i planted two inch strawberry corn for making popcorn on the cob right in the microwave blue jade corn and patisson panache pattypan squash fin de bagnol string beans green arrow shell peas several types of eggplant several types of peppers and about eight kinds of tomatoes small and large everything organic of course and i m trying straw bale gardening for the first time some eggplant and peppers planted in them let me tell you the ants love those straw bales when i am pulling the wheat straw that is growing i have to be really careful and just for good measure we have a beautiful japanese maple in the front yard that has been a haven for birds and squirrels for several years four bird feeders a bird bath and their very own chandelier lol so i had to make a sign to hang in the tree not that any of them especially the squirrels need an invitation so i hope you enjoyed this tour of the cooper garden and i ll post some updates when everything grows you notice i m having an optimistic day lol have a wonderful week posted by unknown at 1 24 pm 2 comments thursday april 16 2015 so where in the world did the last year disappear to beats me and i won t even try to explain my absence many new and wonderful adventures happened though in june 2014 i became acquainted with isagenix and that has completely changed my life for the better for the first time in over 20 years i have energy to spare and my new healthy lifestyle has given me better health than i thought i could ever have again i truly believe that it saved my life if you would like to get fit lose weight age with better health and find financial freedom click on the link above and contact me with that energy i then could look forward to retiring which happened on march 31 2015 yippee bells and whistles going off all over the place my backyard garden which i might add grew beautifully last year has been expanded and we are just about done with the fencing and gate pictures to come in the next post i promise it s a most whimsical and wonderful garden i m just now beginning to get used to the fact that i m free to do what i want when i want and not rush through every weekend doing chores so that i can be ready for a work week to begin on monday i have so many ideas and plans that i ll be sharing with you as soon as my mind gets them a little more organized ha and with that i ll leave you with this thought for the week what will you do this week to be of value posted by unknown at 2 46 pm 2 comments saturday april 26 2014 work of art from a bald faced hornet according to wickipedia the bald faced hornet actually belongs to a genus of yellowjackets in north america but unlike many congeners it lacks yellow coloring instead it is called a hornet in the american sense of a wasp that builds paper nests it is best known for its large football shaped paper nest which it builds in the spring to rear young the bald faced hornet is protective of the nest and will sting repeatedly if it is disturbed this wasp is more aggressive than most yellowjackets of dolichovespula and the genus vespula and the nest should be observed only from a distance uhmmmm had i known this yesterday i probably wouldn t have been sticking my camera under the hose hangar in my backyard and unfortunately since this is near a water spigot that i will probably be using daily to water my vegetable garden it s going to have to go or at least mr hornet is i am of two minds on this while i don t want to be stung this hornet home is absolutely a beautiful work of art isn t it incredible how even a small insect can create something so delicate and colorful with only wood and saliva it s about the size of a tennis ball or maybe just a little smaller most nests are much bigger than this one and oval shaped so it makes one wonder was mr hornet was just making a condo for himself not only that but it appears to have a double wall for protection from the elements and i wonder how it s attached to the hose hangar posted by unknown at 5 47 pm 5 comments monday march 24 2014 january oh my you d think i d gone on a trip around the world it s been so long since i blogged let s just put it down to winter blahs now that we re having a few warmish days in between the cooler ones my mind is starting to defrost warm enough this afternoon after work to paint the front of this a light blue step one of getting ready to plant when i m sure no more freezes are headed our way can you hear mother nature laughing as i say that i m thinking succulents this year since it gets so hot in the summer that most flowers don t last very long even watering every day we ve had the back yard polished a bit three trees cut down and all the brush around the fences cleared well mostly cleared so we re moving this from the mostly shady front yard to the sunnier back yard this year and i m giving it one more year of producing some gorgeous tomatoes and beans and whatever else i can come up with that my black thumb doesn t kill what s that old saying the fourth time is the charm bwahahahahahaha we ll see what happens two art retreats so far this year the first in january at serenbe about 30 minutes from me sponsored by jenni and tiffin and it was really a bunch of fun i was able to re connect with a wonderful friend from washington state and her lovely daughter as well as meet lots of great people from neighboring states the projects were totally out of my box so it was really nice to try some different things then a few weekends ago a friend and i took two classes in cindy wunsch s fabulous studio be in nashville i met cindy at the first art retreat be still my beating heart what a great place there was art everywhere and her studio sink looked just like mine totally splotted with paint lol there was also the biggest goodwill store just down the street that had lots of treasures so that was just an added bonus and ta da i repainted my studio over the winter added a new table that i built and mr whimsey decided to help with and finally got some storage units that would keep my treasures from getting so dusty so here is a look at the studio before i goobered up the table with projects last weekend lol well that about catches you up on me now if we could just catch up to spring posted by unknown at 5 47 pm 3 comments tuesday january 28 2014 the cardinal hotel yes it s snowing in atlanta when i got home from work today the bird feeders were looking a little empty there were a couple or three cardinals as well as carolina red wings and finches feeding so i added some seed to our triangle feeder the bowl on the pole and threw some on the ground well they called their friends at one point there were 13 male cardinals here along with most of their spouses mr whimsey is out right now putting more seed out it s snowing like the dickens and since birds need much more food in these conditions to keep their energy up and keep warm we re opening the hotel kitchen lol wherever you are i hope you are safe and warm posted by unknown at 6
