Old MacThumper had a Farm

I decided to take an extra long weekend, so I took a day of vacation today to rest and relax.

So, what did I do with my free time you ask? How did I enjoy my vacation? How did I enjoy Dominion Day Eve? (I have always thought "Canada Day" is a lame name for a national holiday.)


I hoed, and raked, and shovelled until the 6' square plot we call a garden was ready for planting. We even had our first crop for the season, a lovely bucket of rock. How lucky can you get!


I feel so agricultural!

Mind you I prefer low maintenance gardening, i.e. wild plants. we have some nice flowers in our yard that just appeared and are determined to spread.




I like that in a flower.


We also have a bush of unknown origin growing near by. It has clusters of white blossoms (if I had caught them a few days earlier),

and an interesting leaf.


I'll have to talk to a gardener friend of mine for a possible id.

Later, Mushers!
