mushrooms...garden...girls scout trip...

                               
                            I know it maybe hard to believe but, I have never gone mushroom hunting or even tried wild mushrooms. This year I did, the above photo is the one mushroom that I found, rather proud of finding this one...morel.......

 
My hubby found a bunch while out hunting for turkeys

                                       These are the first morel mushrooms that I have ever fried, tried and all I can say is yummy, I want some more!


 
                This past Saturday, went on a girl scout trip to Branson, Ride the Ducks....so enjoyed it. the above pictures are only two of the pictures I took...the Captain was a hoot...I mean his name was Captain Hoot...he was very funny...would go again...would like to go sometime this summer , when the weather is a little more warmer to say the least. The day started out as raining but by the time we got to Branson...it wasn`t , so thankful for that.

 
                      The above is Roxy the raccoon, my new pet for my clown character, he is a spring puppet, been practicing with her...the instructions say it`s a he but, I say a her...Roxy is a girl`s name, I think. last night my hubby was eating a candy bar and I was playing with the coon, he bust out a laughing.....so funny, lol .    Ok, at least he had a smile on his face and asked Roxy to go away while he was eating.

                                         
                                                       Killdeer happened to stumble on.
        
                                                                   on to the garden
                                             
                                                          last of the tulips blooming

                                                  some of my pole beans are coming up, this one is in the bed frame bed, I have some more coming up around the trellis made out of clothes line poles.

                                                
                                                 different irises are coming up

                                            
                                            I stumbled across some marigolds for a reasonable price, even though they had gotten frost bitten a little. I have planted around my garden area, these are in the grill.

                                                    A new small bed taking shape. This bed is almost complete in making except for the planting of course. The rose is the background is one of the piñata climbing roses, I got. I did get two of the piñata climbing roses, I planted them one on each side of the old clothes lines poles. I also got a pink tea rose, they was on clearance, my oldest insisted on getting the pink one, her favorite color. The other rose, that I had seen that was similar in color to the piñata climbing rose, I could not find....I will find it again, at least I hope.

 
                                                    Here is the pink dogwood, my youngest insisted on me getting. I think it`s dead looking , but planted for her. I planted in the lower part of the garden.

 Here is one of the irises that are blooming, and I am transplanting...my goal is to plant by color, or rather have them planted one color in one area, so when they multiply, I can rehome a few. I know your not to suppose to plant until fall, but one of the beds that have the most irises , all different colors mixed together, I digging up when in bloom so I will know what color they are when planted.
This bed I know has white, purple, dark purple, orange, yellow and red I think. The orange one was suppose to be a rebloom and bloom twice a year instead of once a year, it has only bloomed once a year for me. All in all, I think my garden is taking shape in how I want it. My hubby wants the iris bed to be gone , so he can mow where it is. It has been so nice the past couple of days,  in the mornings I have been working in the garden, planting, transplanting, digging, removing rocks( never ending task), removing glass that I dig up( seems like a never ending task as well). I think where my garden spot is past where the bulldozed the old house that was here, that had burned,...hence the glass. It is suppose to turn cold again towards the weekend, and here it will be May...who knows about this crazy weather, I am just glad I don`t have tomato plants out yet, but thinking on getting some next week sometime. I think that is enough for the day...everyone have a blessed day.
