Time seems to be Rushing By !

The winter was a wet one and gray for the most part. Spring took it's time getting here, and was also on the the "wet" side.  It took forever to dry out enough to allow planting a garden.
 Once the garden did go in, I was fighting the crows, who were pulling the fresh corn kernels out of the ground as they were germinating.  I finally won that battle by laying chicken wire over the rows of corn.
 Time seems to be rushing by....  Jon and I picked a bunch of tomatoes and preserved then as a batch of salsa.
 Tomatoes, onion, peppers, salt, vinegar, cilantro, jalapenos and a few other things, and the next thing you know, You've got a batch of salsa ready to go into jars for when the snow is flying.  Nothing like the taste of summer when you open a jar of your very own salsa to share with friends.

Kirby, The Best Puppy in all of Puppy-land He will be missed.

It has been a long time since my last entry. 
But, I'm writing today as a way to honor our beloved Kirby.
He was Jon's companion every day in the Piano Workshop and around the house while I was gone all day to work.
 Kirby was our traveling companion of motoring trips to visit family and friends.
He was always a gentleman at other people's home.. (Well, there was that one time in Houston, BUT he was encouraged by the lovely Mila.. you know how a girl can be when she wants something..)
 Kirby will be missed for a long long time.
 It has been over 3 months now, and I still think I see him in his usual places around the house, when I turn a corner or walk into a room... but he isn't there.
